Again, start practicing, try, and learn how to manipulate / instruct a subject, how to detect good / quality natural lighting and how to get your…"
CameraClicker replied to Amanda Whitehurst's discussion HELP!! What is the best lens attachment for a Nikon, for portraiture and/or fashion photography?"Am I reading this correctly? You can take the model in the gold outfit with the kit 18-55 lens and you want to get a different lens to take the picture of two women? Use the same lens and take three or four large steps…"

CameraClicker replied to Amanda Whitehurst's discussion HELP!! What is the best lens attachment for a Nikon, for portraiture and/or fashion photography?"$250 - $300 does not go very far. You do not mention what lens you have already. The inexpensive 50 mm lens is the f/1.8. It is popular because the large aperture will put the background out of focus and it does not cost very much,…"
