Studio portrait I took at the end of 2022. Can it be called split lighting? Used colour grading in post processing to tint the shadows a little blue.
Model: Sulize Alberts (2021 – Miss Teen South Africa, 2nd Princess)
Godox AD200 as main light. Hair light – Godox V860.

William C Beall. Faith and Confidence, Washington, DC, September 10, 1957
Photo Credit: Pulitzer.orgTry to define photography. Some photos are planned for. Some are staged, posed and structured. Then there are the photos that just happen, a fleeting moment that will forever be perfect. Just because it happened and because it is life, and someone…Read More

First time I’ve seen this eye-catching photo and it immediately struck a chord! The scene seems almost staged and has a cinematic quality, appearing as though it could be part of a movie. I love how the main subjects – the boy and the policeman – are isolated against the “extras”, apart from the man on the right glancing down and smiling at them.…Read More

We're compiling a tutorial on the best lenses for portrait photography and would appreciate your input, especially if you're a seasoned portrait photographer. --- If you had to choose, which lens would be your staple for portraits?

For a prime lens, my favourite is the 85mm f/1.4. I don’t own one but often find myself borrowing it. It’s an exceptional lens for portraits, although the Canon version is quite pricey. I’m considering the Canon RF 85mm F2 MACRO IS STM as an alternative. Its 1:2 macro feature makes it versatile, good for portraits, and ideal for product…Read More

For the prime, I have to go with the 50mm. I am not a seasoned photographer, but the affordable nifty-fifty has served me well, and I have been able to catch a couple of good images with it. The 1.8 50s, including those for the mirrorless, are affordable, sharp (in my opinion) lenses. Getting into photography, this is a great lens. I have,…Read More
