The application scope of anamorphic photography

The application scope of anamorphic photography mainly includes film shooting, portrait photography, landscape photography, food photography, and party scene shooting. The specific application scenarios are as follows:
filming
The deformable lens compresses the image horizontally through a cylindrical lens system, achieving a 2.4:1 widescreen ratio for shooting, and is widely used in film production. For example, in 1953, 20th Century Fox produced "Eternal Love", which was the first to film the use of anamorphic lenses and achieved CinemaScope widescreen standards through 2x compression technology.  ‌
Portrait Photography
Deformable lenses can increase the horizontal field of view by 33%, allowing for more preservation of the background environment when shooting half body or full body portraits. Combined with an F1.8 aperture, it can produce a glossy bokeh effect, enhancing the sense of layering in the image.  ‌
Landscape Photography
Deformable lenses can fully preserve the pixels of the captured image, avoiding image quality loss caused by cropping or masking processing. They are suitable for travel photography, documentary and Vlog shooting, and can present a wider visual effect of the scene.  ‌
Food Photography
The 35mm focal length zoom lens has a horizontal viewing angle close to that of a regular 40mm lens, making it suitable for close-up shots of food or cooking processes. It can both capture the scene and highlight the details of the subject.  ‌
Gathering scene
Capturing the atmosphere of a gathering through wide-angle or telephoto lenses, and enhancing the perspective effect of the scene with deformable lenses, such as Christmas decorations, wedding dresses, and other elements, can enhance the storytelling of the picture.  ‌
