We’re taking a deep dive into the PETZVAL LENS today, breaking down the history and look of the revolutionary portrait lens from it’s early start in the 1840s to it’s most recent applications in films like Poor Things (2023) and The Northman (2022). Were also diving into the effects of the lens that make it so unique: including textured backgrounds, varied focal distances, and focal point for Close Ups and other shot types. You can check out shots from all of the titles featured here on ShotDeck, and make sure to read the full breakdown of the Petzval Lens on Filmmaker Academy’s Blog! *Edit: The Northman Colorist credits should also include Vanessa Taylor* #moviestill #cinematographylife #cameralens #filmstill #productiondesign #colorpalette #Cinebible #filmlover #filmcrew #filmmakinglife #filmmakerslife #directorofphotography #dop #filmmakers #filmmaking #filmcommunity #cinematographer #costumedesign #shotdeck #filmmakersacademy #petzval
