Art History-Looking at Different lenses

Both pictures by Katie Hunt on flicker link  - 2010

Fisheye lens 8-16mm are different from standard lenses which cause the image to bend/bowl around the edges. I think this lens can produce more of arty look due to how you have to look at the world in a different way and how with most the picture is framed by the rim of the lens. you can see 180 degrees in one direction with most types of fisheye
I used a fisheye attachment to a standard lens whcih you have to keep at 18mm for it to work effectivly as a fisheye.
The example pictures I showed have been taken by the loomogrpahy fisheye lens, which is a film camera witha built in fisheye. I like how they realy show the fisheye lens as she uses a subject and it is framed by the border and then the background can be freely effected by the bending in the lens.

Shoji Kawabate-wide angle Link 2014

Wide angle lenses are usual between 10-30 mm and takes a wide shot, usually 180 degrees but sometimes less. This allows you to get very close to a subject and still get them all in, which gives the pictures a more personal feel.
This picture was taken with a Lomo  lc-a+ which is a 35mm camera with a wide angle lens attatchment. you can see the edges of the lens in the top left corner but is not as obviouse as the fisheye lens.

Haether Buckley, Zombies in Brighton, 2012

Heather Buckley uses a fish eye in her zombies in Brighton series, where she takes portraits n the streets of Brighton. she uses the lens to bend the image creating an angle that you could not achieve with a standard lens. I like this image as the bend of the zombies head matches the angle she has orientated the camera which then gets bent by the fisheye, the track would have also been straight but due to the lens has been bent around. The image as also been fill flashed where she as used a flash on the person to lighten them up and in the daylight creates this cinematic look to the picture. I find her photography very bright and she uses a wide range of lenses and cameras around Brighton where she gets the opportunity to photograph the wide range of events in Brighton.

I would like to use the influcene of different lenses to extend the distortion and the manipulation of the truth.
