Most photographers drool over 85mm f/1.4 lenses for portrait work, and while those are certainly a lot of fun, they might not actually be the best choice for you. This awesome video will show you why you should consider a 100mm macro lens for your work.

Coming to you from Kayleigh June, this great video tutorial will show you why you should consider using a macro lens for portrait and beauty photography. In the age of f/1.4 apertures and backgrounds blown to bokeh oblivion, the idea of using a lens with a relatively pedestrian maximum aperture might seem odd, but there are a ton of advantages to be had. First, a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens is likely significantly cheaper than an 85mm f/1.4 with comparable image quality. Second, it will be much lighter and easier to handle. Furthermore, it will likely focus more quickly and produce sharper results. And all of this is said without mentioning the increased versatility of having macro capabilities, which allow you to capture detail shots that wouldn't be possible with a normal 85mm portrait lens. I have shot probably 90% of my headshots with my 100mm macro lens, and it has been a reliable workhorse that has paid for itself several times over. Check out the video above for the full rundown from June.

She also wasn't comparing anything. Her point was that 100mm macro is excellent for beauty because it has the versatility to focus closer to the subject while also being a focal length that has a more pleasing perspective distortion. She is 100% correct.

I'd also add that while logically less glass does mean less weight to move in my experience that really doesn't matter. Modern 70-200s focus incredibly quick and they much bigger than any portrait primes. My experience is that camera makers mostly put better quality focus tech and motors in more expensive lenses which tends to result in the higher-end lenses having better focus performance.

All that said, IMO sharpness isn't even all that important for portrait lenses beyond a certain point. I was more meaning to correct the misconception that macro = sharper in general. Many of my favourite portrait lenses of all time aren't nearly as sharp as the cutting-edge lens tech.

You can go test all of this yourself. I'm not asking you to take my word for it. I feel confident because I have worked with 100mm macro and an 85mm in portrait work for many years. I've tested the comparison. Both are forever in my kit because they both have a purpose.

I want to first remind you that despite the beauty around us, having family photos is not about showing off the landscape. Instead, family portraits are about documenting YOU, your family, your love, your connections, those dynamics within your family, this stage that you are in right now.

The evening of this Seattle area family portrait session we had this park to ourselves. The entire time we saw probably three other people, and while on the beach, it was just us. If you have ever been to Lake Sammamish State Park you know that is quite a miracle. Having the place to ourselves meant not worrying about people in the background, not waiting for people to move, and just letting the kids have the run of the area.

If the skies begin to turn a little, those stormy skies just add even more depth and interest to your family portraits. The sky started getting darker and stormy and it was so beautiful as we played on the beach. The deep colors made this family really pop!

Timed to coincide with the centenary of his death, this major exhibition is both the first to focus on portraits painted by the great Victorian artist George Frederic Watts (1817-1904) and the largest exhibition of his work in 50 years. Watts was a central personality of the Victorian era: a friend of Tennyson, Ruskin, the Pre-Raphaelite artists and pioneer photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. He married Ellen Terry who became the greatest English actress of the period, though the marriage was short-lived. Precociously gifted, self-taught and much revered at his death, G.F. Watts was one of the most significant figures in nineteenth-century British art.

The exhibition brings together over 50 of Watts's finest portraits, the majority of which are being lent from private collections. It focuses on Watts's private commissions to paint the artistic and social elite of mid-Victorian London. It provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to see little known and strikingly beautiful works, many of which will be surprising even to specialists in Victorian art, literature and history. This exhibition forms part of a series of centenary exhibitions and events taking place throughout 2004 at venues including Tate Britain, the Royal Academy of Arts, the Watts Gallery and Leighton House Museum.

As a portraitist Watts had an enormous output - over 300 images in oils and countless drawings, ranging in date from the 1830s to 1904. Best remembered today for his large-scale symbolist paintings, such as Hope, and for his Hall of Fame series of portraits of his eminent contemporaries, he also produced some of the most glamorous full-length portraits of women of the Victorian era. In the grand manner of Reynolds and Gainsborough, but rich in colour and detail, these full-length portraits have never been seen as a group until now.

Watts established a solid reputation in intellectual and aristocratic circles. He became great friends with Lord and Lady Holland whilst he was living in Italy in the 1840s. Several portraits of Lady Mary Augusta Holland, both drawings and oil paintings, reveal more about the nature of the close relationship she and Watts shared in Italy. Lord Holland was an important patron and friend to Watts. In the grounds of Lord Holland's Kensington home, Little Holland House was later established as the salon of the Victorian period, a meeting place for the most famous politicians, writers and artists of the day.

Little Holland House was leased by Henry Thoby Prinsep. His wife Sara was one of the seven remarkable Pattle sisters who included photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and, most importantly for Watts, the beautiful Virginia. Watts adored Virginia as an ideal and she can be seen as his muse, inspiring him in the years around 1850. Later Lady Somers, she is represented in the exhibition by a grand full-length portrait from Eastnor Castle.

Watts's first, disastrous marriage began at Little Holland House. Here he met two attractive sisters, Kate and Ellen Terry from a well-known theatrical family. In 1864 Watts married the young Ellen, when she was barely 17 and he was 47. The marriage, brief and unhappy, was over within a year. However, in that time Watts completed several stunning portraits of his young wife; three of these are included in the exhibition.

Born in London into a musical but impoverished family, Watts sympathised with the dreadful living conditions of the urban poor in the late 1840s. His idealistic outlook encouraged him to use his art as a vehicle for his moral purpose. In the same spirit, he readily gave his works to museums in Britain and abroad where they could be viewed by a wide public. From the 1850s, Watts painted the Hall of Fame portraits of eminent Victorians including Carlyle, Tennyson, Browning and Rossetti. Produced entirely at his own expense, Watts bequeathed the series to the National Portrait Gallery in 1895 and many are now on display at St Martin's Place and at the Gallery's regional partner, Bodelwyddan Castle, in North Wales.

Some of the most beautiful of Watts's paintings are portraits of his personal friends. These include several works showing the Pattle sisters; Mrs Nassau Senior; a double portrait of Ellen and Kate Terry known as The Sisters; and Violet Manners, later the Duchess of Rutland, an artist and close friend of Watts. Other sitters include Blanche, Lady Lindsay, artist, musician, and co-founder of the Grosvenor Gallery; Lillie Langtry, professional beauty and woman about town; and artist Dorothy Tennant.

So radically erased were the true lineaments of Isabella's face, that Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum of Art, which owns the work, wasn't even aware that they had a likeness of her in its collection. It was only when the institution set about to confirm its suspicion in 2014 that a portrait it possessed of another member of the famous Medici family, Eleanor of Toledo (purportedly painted by the celebrated Italian Mannerist Bronzino), was a fake, that Isabella's forgotten face, lurking below the varnish, was rescued from oblivion.

Beauty dishes are common and well-loved lighting modifiers. They are particularly useful for portraits (beauty is in the name after all). They also tend to be a lot cheaper than decent sized softboxes. Years ago, your choice of beauty dish was quite limited. Nowadays, if you try searching for beauty dishes, you will be presented with a multitude of options that greatly vary in size and even how they set up. 006ab0faaa
