Portraits—no matter where you make them—are all about light, so start by searching for places where the light looks good.

Photographer John Mueller shares advice for professional portrait photographers—and those who want to break into the field—on how he creates stunning, cutting-edge senior portraits in this exclusive interview.

This review was very hard to be objective about. You see, I've been waiting impatiently for Nikon to release a new 35mm f/1.4 lens for more than five years.

While sharpness is an essential part of most photographs, the creative use of backround blur can be a very useful compositional element.

The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras gives you a medium telephoto field of view that's ideal for portraits. It includes a special chip that allows the lens to work with the camera's focus confirm, auto exposure, auto metering and auto white balance functions. With hybrid aspherical lenses and multi-layer coating, you will produce sharply defined images with a minimum of flare and ghosting. The 85mm lens focuses as close as 3.3' (1.0 m) from the lens and includes a lens hood. This lens is designed for use with full-frame film and digital cameras and may also be used with cameras with APS-C sized sensors.
