Toying with the anamorphic crop
Lately, I have been doing a lot of research on anamorphic style, both in videography and photography.
And here is my first photo with this crop, even that I just scrached the surface today.
What is it?
According to Wikipedia: "Anamorphic format is the cinematography technique of shooting a widescreen picture on standard 35 mm film or other visual recording media with a non-widescreen native aspect ratio." Today, this is normally achieved by using a projector lens, to stretch the image and then use software to compress it back so you obtain a 2.40:1 ratio. Sadly this adaptor costs more than 500 euro, from what I've seen. 😅😅
Can't you do it in photoshop?!
You can do anything in photoshop if you have the skill! End of story! But you can also make yourself a cardboard with a hole in it. If you want to learn more about this click here for a youtube video on it. I'll make one and promise to update you on it.
Where am I going to use this kind of photos?!
I have no idea yet 😪😪. Clearly Instagram wont like it, Facebook will make them minuscule in the news feed and to be honest this kind of photos only look great if you look at them fullscreen, but when you do the magic is real. So if you have any suggesstions for my problem, let me know in the comments section
expensive accessory.. 500 euros. ouch!
Youp, not planning to buy one of those in the near future😑
Does your camera have that crop option? The 5D does 3:2, 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1. So nothing close to the 2.4:1
I don't think any DSLR has that option. I don't even know if my D7000 has any crop option, to be honest. But in photoshop or Lightroom you can do whatever you want
oh of course. But sometimes it helps with visualising in camera.
What i was thinking about but then deciding against it was using ductape on my screenprotector. But since i'm on a crop senzor i decided against it.

Yes! More of these please. I always love 2.40:1 in Cinematography and often crop my landscape photos in that ratio. Love your anamorphic portraits!
The solution to your problem is to become a Cinematographer. ;)
cinematography is more of a team game and to be honest i am more of a solo player myself
Awesome solution! And I quite like the narrative possibilities the anamorphic style lends itself to. Thanks! Great content, as always :)
exactly, even tho composing in this format is quite hard i cant wait to try it again and explore it's posibilites
