Hi everyone, very beginner question. I'm using a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor 1.4 50mm AF-S G Lens.
Here is an image that I like very much: http://i.models.com/feed/i/2012/02/BenWeller19.jpeg
My question (NOT taking into account the post production retouching on the image):
How would I go about replicating this type of sharpness with my 50mm lens?
Is this a matter of using a smaller aperture to create a larger DOP? Using a 50mm, does anyone know what minimum aperture setting will keep the figure and props pin sharp? I've heard around 5.6-8 is ideal for doing studio fashion photography? Would that avoid getting a shallow DOP with a big blur difference between Foreground and background? Because that's not the type of look I'm aiming for.
Also, for this studio shoot, do you think flash was used (possibly with a diffuser)? Or is it just using a lot of studio lighting? Or both? I'm still very new and not sure about how often or essential external flash is used in studio portraiture. If there are any tutorial links regarding some of the questions I have you can link I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks!
