Oftentimes people relegate wide angle lenses to landscape/scenery photography. When talking about shooting people with wide angle lenses, people point to the perspective distortion and talk about how the people’s facial features will be all stretched and nothing will be proportional.

Having been stuck outside in the cold doing on location photoshoots for the past few weeks, it was a refreshing change to be back in a studio again.  This time it was with courtesy of Paulo Francesco and his carriage house studio in DC.  I am helping him to put together a new photo co-op for [...]
