PhotoActive 117: John Cornicello on Lens Distortion

You’ve heard the term “zoom with your feet?” It’s not that simple.

Jeff Carlson on May 16, 2022

In the latest episode of the PhotoActive podcast, we welcome portrait photographer and educator John Cornicello to talk about lens distortion. We covered dealing with distortion during processing in PhotoActive #110, but there’s so much more to think about when you’re out shooting. For example, you know those headshot photo grids that purport to show how wide-angle lenses create more distortion? They’re misleading! John helps explain why.

Listen to the episode now: Episode 117: John Cornicello on Lens Distortion.
