SLR camera suitable for portrait photography?

Shooting in the studio, if possible, it is recommended to use a medium or large format film camera to shoot people. This enables the camera to provide more scene details, finer particles and richer colors.

But now the mainstream is still a 35mm camera, which is easy to carry and looks serious.

Portrait photography doesn't require much of him. As long as the film machine is normal, the digital camera depends on the range you can bear. Of course, there are achievements.

To get started, I think Nikon D80 is enough. You can choose Nikon D300 to enter the new level. The professional level is of course Canon 1D markIII, which supports high-speed photography and continuous shooting.

Portrait photography still has some requirements for lenses. It can be considered from three categories: wide angle, telephoto and standard lens.

Wide-angle lens can cover a wider range and provide a large depth of field. However, when shooting characters, the picture will appear a little messy, and the characters will be deformed to varying degrees.

A telephoto lens, which compresses the picture and makes it look compact. However, the range of depth of field is narrow, and the background will be blurred to varying degrees when shooting.

Standard lens, general portrait photography or choose standard lens. First, it can meet the general shooting needs, and second, it will not deform the characters. Generally, it can be equipped with an 85 mm fixed focus head.

Several combinations are recommended here.

Entry-level 1, Nikon D80+ Nicole AIAF 85mm f1.8d.

2. Nikon D300+ Nicole AI AF 135 mm F2D is better than the entry.

3. Canon1D Mark III+EF85/1.2L II USM lens is a bit old, but it is a Canon portrait mirror emperor after all.
