I shoot at 1.8
So, it took me a long time, but I am slowly switching to only prime lenses & hardly ever do I shoot above 1.8 any more. I learned photography at 3.5-4.0 zoom/variable lenses, but it took my dear friend Ken and others for me to realize that I could not get what I wanted without making a change. And yes, there’s about a million other changes I need to make & a million other things to learn. Boudoirs have actually been teaching me A TON about lighting, shooting, positioning, etc. It seems like every time I photograph a boudoir, I learn something new that I’m able to apply to other areas of my photography.
This is one of my bride’s that I’m working on this week. She is sooo fabulous.. I think she speaks for herself.
