How to Shoot Street Portraits With a Massive IMAX Lens (And What It Taught Me About Thinking Outside the Bag)

There’s a certain kind of photographer who looks at a massive, decades-old cinema lens collecting dust in a storage case and thinks “yeah, that’ll work for portraits.” That’s JP Morgan of The Slanted Lens, and honestly, that mindset is exactly why I keep coming back to his channel. In this The Slanted Lens tutorial, JP hauls an IMAX lens built by iWerks down to a skate park in Santa Monica and shoots street portraits with it on his Canon EOS R.

It’s the lens I wish someone had pushed me toward faster when I was shooting everything on a kit zoom and wondering why my photos looked flat.
