I use a LOT of gear to shoot portraits, mostly Nikon but a few other things are thrown in as well.  Since I’m asked a lot what I shoot with, here is some more information:

Nikon D300 (this is my camera body)

Nikkor 85MM 1.4 (telephoto prime lens)

Nikkor 50MM 1.4 (normal prime lens)

Nikkor 10.5MM 2.8 (fisheye lens)

Nikkor 60MM 2.8 Micro (this is a great portrait lens but is REALLY fantastic for Macro images)

To support Verve, I’d love it if you shop at Amazon.  I get a “small” referral fee when you click my link to buy your stuff.  Hey, it doesn’t cost you anything and I get a buck or two to help with the lens fund.  Lenses are EXPENSIVE!  Just click any of the above links and continue with your shopping!

And, just in case you are some rich relative I don’t know about and want to buy me a lens…

THIS is my dream lens at the moment:

Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VRII
