A basic book on photography and one on philosophy and/or Art history should be THE place to start.

 

While there's nothing wrong with being inspired by the works of others it pays to think for yourself. Further, meaningful answers can only come from meaningful questions and in that respect We do best to first to ask ourselves what is it that we do, where we want to go with it, what we want to achieve and WHY we do what we do. Everything else will follow.

 

There is NO one set of lenses for portraits and/or fashion. The tools are dictated by the creative vision of a given artist. One uses what one thinks can best help achieve one's OWN vision. When we talk about lenses, it could be any of a multitude of available glass (including actual glass bottles), some of which may in fact NOT be "top of the line".

 

Good Luck and feel free to disregard all that I have said...since I am neither an award winning nor a well estabilshed photog!

With all due respect, it isn't the quality of the hardware in front of the camera that makes for

an award winning photographer. It's the quality of the wetware (the stuff between the

photographer's ears). A good photographer can make an excellent photo with any of the

Canon L lenses (or any other reasonable camera and lens combination). A bad

photographer, without vision or skill, is very likely to produce junk no matter what equipment

is used.

I did not know who he was until I looked him up.

He is blind in one eye, his other one must be darn good.

No idea what lenses/cameras etc he uses but it would not matter

quite sure he could make use of anything without much trouble.

I'm with you Tim! I've wasted some of the best gear money can buy!

unfortunately, i wouldn't hold out too much hope that mr. watson will email, felice. if albert watson is indeed a <em>true legend</em>, i would severely doubt that he hangs around at online general gear forums.

<p>

(no offense to the scores of unappreciated living legends that we have here at photo.net, of course ;)

1. The photographer is more important than the lens.

 

2. Search.

 

Happy shooting,

Yakim.

hum.... so the "legend" is blind in one eye eh? He's used to seeing 2D then. That's probably why it would be easier for him to frame.
