Fisheye lens for portraits - vlad - Feb 5, 2013
What do you think about it?
RE: Fisheye lens for portraits - Barbara G. - Feb 6, 2013
I think it is interesting! My dad always enjoyed using this type of lens when he took photos.

Love it. Maybe deepen the colors a little--it may be a little overexposed.

Thanks for stopping by
You're right it is a bit overexposed.

It's a really neat experiment, I love the outcome! But on a personal note, I don't believe the fisheye lens fit the portrait aestheti, so to speak

Funny shot, with hair like that how can it be bad!
The fisheye isn't a "typical" portrait lens for the obvious reasons but with that said it's cool for some variety in an environmental portrait!

It may not be a serious portrait lens. In fact, taking a serious portrait with a fisheye could be quite a challenge! But it sure is great for adding some fun to the photo session. Thanks for stopping by.

Totally agree! Really not for portrait but taking images out of the box that clicks is totally worth the try. Awesome image vlad

Ust read my last post bit of a typo I had my wide angle in hand n was meant to say fish eye lol, I think it ads fun n humour to the pic, obviusly not a serious take but a fun day of shooots maybe

lovely composition. Only criticism, for me, is the “rubbish” in the background, and I would, perhaps, have straightened up the background arc, so it wasn’t down one side more than the other. But great shot.

I have no time for fisheye, but this is by far the best I have seen. As Deane says, could be "tidied" up, it is a bit over exposed, all easily rectified. Ed.

This is a really interesting concept and it does work, would give it some PP and enlarge it for the subject model
Well done
RE: Fisheye lens for portraits - EdMak - Nov 14, 2013
Had a quick P/S edit, definite winner. Ed.

Great use of a fisheye lens.
For me photography is about having fun and this shot ticks the boxes.
Creative use of lenses can make so much difference and it helps when you have a good model too!
Nice work Vlad.

I like this, not so much a portrait I see it as putting her in the environment , a circular ice rink which mirrors the hair some how
