Carrie Zeller headshots

Happiness, thy name is 85mm f/1.4!

If anyone wants to get me a birthday present, this is it.

My friend Carrie Zeller wanted to get some headshots done for professional purposes and since I don’t have many headshots in my portfolio, I was happy to oblige. We were down in Laguna, and the lighting was fantastic….we swapped and she took some of me, too, but we’ll save those for later. I hear lots of great things about the 85mm f/1.4, and I am considering buying one, so I rented one for this shoot to test it out.

I have to say, I completely understand now why everyone loves it so much. You can’t get this magnificent of bokeh* but with the very best:

Tell me that’s not sheer gorgeousness. I want it sooooooo bad now.

*“Bokeh”: the out-of-focus area in a photograph
