38mm is an interesting choice. Some people advocate not using wide lenses on a woman because of the possibility of distortion can be unflattering. However, I have also heard that you can use a wide lens to make a woman look taller/longer. Since the axis of the lens seems to be center on her vertically, was your wide lens choice to make her look taller? How do you choose your lens length when shooting glamor or nudes?
Thanks in advance for your insight. :)
Very cool and yes glass is difficult to light well. Can you tell us about your soft box size and position here any maybe some of positions that did not seem to work leading up to this photo?
Ivan, you do a really nice job with that 50mm on people portraits and prove great portraits can be done with a focal length less than 85mm. Can you comment on if your composition choices are different under 85mm or do you just not worry about that rule of thumb?
