This week I am going to start on a series of FAQ’s for photographers who might be new to the business or maybe for those just wanting to know more about how I run my business. All these questions come from a meeting I had back in January with a sweet, sweet friend looking at possibly starting her own photo business. With her permission, she allowed me to use these questions as the launching pad of this mini series. If you have questions that you would like me to address in further posts, please let me know!
What is your favorite or most versatile lens? (and/ or the other lenses that you use.)
In most of my shoots and even weddings, I revert to my Sigma art 50mm 1.4 lens. I LOVE this lens and it is my baby. I use it for most everything, and feel like I can get close and go way far back to achieve the results I am looking for.
The second lens I love is the Sigma art 35mm 1.4 lens. As a wide angle lens, this captures so much more of the big picture of the day. Most likely these are the two lenses that I will shoot most of the wedding day on and be on my cameras. Both of these are extremly versatile helping me to grab the look and feel I see happening in front of me.
Other lenses that I go to are the 24mm, 85mm, Macro lens (mainly for detail shots of the wedding day) 135mm, and a 70-300 zoom (of which I use when shooting the ceremony).
Hope that helps! Happy Monday!
