Are you an influencer trying to stay ahead of the game? Capturing that perfect photo for well-paying fashion brands can be difficult without the skill or the equipment. So before you capture those new fashion trends in 2019, take a moment to read this guide on how the difference between camera lenses, and smile, cause once you’re done reading this guide will be a pro(well at least you’ll have the confidence of a PRO). When buying a camera lens, the focal length should be the first consideration. When using cameras with APS-C format sensors, you will realize that the focal length is very different from that of full frame sensor cameras. A quick example, a 50 mm lens provides a better focal length nearly 75mm to 80 mm at the APS-C sensor camera.

Prime lenses provide great image quality compared to zoom lenses. That is because they have a wider maximum aperture that ranges between f/1.2 and f/1.8. Such a lens will allow a tighter depth of field and therefore the user can easily blur the backgrounds and make the feature in the camera to standout.

Moreover, the bokeh of the lens is important. The bokeh refers to the quality of any defocused area and the aim is usually to produce smooth blur effects when using an instant camera. A lens that features a properly rounded diaphragm provides good bokeh. Use of maximum aperture is important for fashion shorts and portraits because that makes the focus of the feature and not the background.

–  24-70mm f/2.8

For studio and editorial shoots, you might need to consider the 24-70mm f/2.8L. It is also the commonest lens for all types of photography. The 24mm is ideal for photo shoots and provides an overview of place you are working in. The lens also allows the user to get closer to the object and zoom in up to the 70mm. If you need close-up shots or half-total, the 70 mm will come in handy. For people who like using the zoom function or those who lack the time to switch between the prime lenses, the camera lens is a great choice.

–  35mm f/1.4

The 35mm f/1.4 is a great choice when working in a beautiful location. With a 35 mm lens, you will be able to show more background details while the focus remains on the object. The wide focal length provides an interesting angle, where the 50mm can be boring. The 35mm camera lens allows for more creativity.

–  50 mm F1.4

The 50 mm is a great choice for all photographers. If used with full-frame sensors, the focal length matches the perspective that the human eye sees. The 50mm camera lens is available in three main types and you can, therefore, purchase a lens with an f/1.4, f/1.2 or f/1.8 aperture. The lens featuring an f/1.8 aperture is cheaper but a good choice for the beginners.

–  85 mm F/1.4

The 85 mm focal length is ideal for portraits and fashion photography. The f/1.4 lens is sharp, and most photographers choose to use it for all their shots. However, the f/1.8 is a great choice for people working on a budget.

–  100 mm f/2.8

With the 100 mm f/2.8 lens, you will require some space between the object and the camera, and it is, therefore, a good choice on location. When working in a large studio where space is adequate the lens is also a good choice. Most photographers use the lens when they need sharp focus and soft feeling in the image’s background. In fact, some people refer to the lens as the macro lens and it is, therefore, a perfect choice when working to capture beautiful close-ups.

The 70-200 mm F/2.8 and the 135 mm telephoto zoom lens is ideal for portraiture because the zoom ranges between 70 and 200mm. With the lens, you will be able to capture an object from any distance and make soft backgrounds. Your personal preferences and budget will affect the camera lens you go for.
