PictureCorrect.com: How to Choose the Right Lens for Storytelling Photography

Whether you capture photography as a hobby or as a full-time profession, the goal of a photographer is to capture the very best images they can. It probably comes as no surprise that photographers are constantly asking themselves,”Which lens should I use?”, “Which lens should I purchase?”, or “Which lenses will I require for my session today?” To help look at your photography in a whole new light, Mark Wallace created this tutorial to help explain how you can use different camera lenses to tell your story:

Before you begin your photo shoot, Wallace stresses you take in your surroundings. Look around and see what elements are a part of the scene. Think about what you can use and what elements you want to avoid (e.g., the bench on the dock or the rugged mountains in the distance).

Once you’ve figured out what you want to shoot, you have to decide the best way to portray your images. Think about the lens options you have, and choose the lens best for accomplishing your storytelling goal. For example, if you are trying to put things into context, try utilizing a wide angle lens. Remember, the longer the lens, the more your image will focus on specific object (or area) within the designated lens view.

While there are plenty options out there, only you can determine how you want your story to be told. Choose wisely, and you can create the ultimate storytelling experience.
