W/NW Portraits taken with an ultra wide angle lens (<24mm focal length on 35mm film)

I thought it would be interesting to see examples of portraits taken with ultra wide angle lenses, defined as "a lens whose focal length is shorter than the short side of film or sensor", i.e. shorter than 24mm on a full frame 35mm camera, or less than 16mm on Fuji X-system, or around 35mm or less on medium format.. you get the idea.

I'd post a sample to start this thread off, except.. I don't have one - so please share your creative approaches to ultra wide portraits!

Bonus points for portraits taken with an SWC!

By "portrait" I assume you mean the looser definition of pictures of people, generally.

Never heard that definition of ultra-wide before, makes sense but it would mean that 90mm is ultrawide on 4x5 (when I generally have thought that to be a wide angle, not ultra-wide, like those crazy wide 47mm lenses or even bit more moderate 65mm 😀 ).

I'll upload pictures when scanned, there's stuff from 90mm on 4x5, 55mm on 6x9 and some 15mm on 135 in my negative folder.

Lynn, great idea.

As you know these have been posted before but I'd like to contribute to the thread. There are more in my gallery but as you are aware some are a little racy and we don't want to upset anyone, do we now? 🙄

All with 21/3.4 Super Angulon...

 

[Jockos]

I've seen those before, and I think this one is absolutely perfect! Great shot 🙂
