Headshots

I'm so glad I got to meet and photograph Rebeca! She's an actress/singer and she's trying out for local community theatre this summer. (Which is awesome. I wish I had more time for theatre...total thespian at heart.)

We met up in downtown Edmond. It has some great little coffee shops, alleys, and brick walls- great for portraits. 

I played around with different lenses here. 

Left: 35mm 1.8 G (portrait lens)

I have to be very close to the subject and have to carefully pick my focus. The 1.8 aperture is blurring the background for me. 

Right: 28-300mm 3.5-5.6 G (zoom lens)

I'm standing 15-20 feet back from her, and zooming optically for the blurred effect on the background. 

I prefer the 1.8 portrait lens typically, but it's nice to play around with both.

Back to the trusted 35mm

Loved her outfit choices. Solid colors, simple accessories, natural makeup. She rocked it.

Break a leg Rebeca! Many blessings to you!
