Soft side light is what you want for your matted portrait project for Fine Arts. This week we looked at the way photogs use soft side lighting to bring out the contours of the face.
Another trick we discussed is use of the telephoto lens. A lens of 105 mm or greater will produce a degree of compression of features that nearly always is flattering.
"Telephoto lenses allow us to reach out into space to bring our subjects closer to us. While wide-angle lenses can expand our frame to deepen the illusion of space, telephoto lenses can compress our subjects within the frame, creating much flatter images, and layer subject upon subject to help express our ideas.
Telephoto lenses also allow us to move closer to people to create powerful portraits. We do not invade their space, and their responses are often more relaxed as a result." So its says at Highbeam.com.
