Different lenses, or focal lengths,
Different lenses, or focal lengths, give different looks, and when it comes to portraits on locations that can mean the difference between showing the scene with a wide-angle lens and showing the details using a telephoto lens. But there’s more to it than just that, as photographer Gavin Hoey explains.
A wide-angle lens, which Gavin calls his storytelling lens, is a great choice for location portraits because it can show a lot more of the scene than you can see. In this case, Gavin builds his photo session around a 1960s vintage Vespa scooter and a countryside setting as a backdrop. But as Gavin explains, with a wide-angle lens you have to watch out for accidental distortion and unexpected lighting gear appearing at the edges.
When Gavin switches to a telephoto lens, his approach to the same scene also changes. Now he’s looking for details, thinking more about the props and backing up to gain compression.
One thing that doesn’t change with the lens focal length is the light. Gavin balances the challenges of working with just daylight, mixing it with a single Flashpoint XPLOR400 flash and because it’s a “summer” location session, Gavin also has to work fast before the rain arrives!
