Back to Basics
The Petzval 55 allows fashion photographers, such as the talented Josh Showell, to shoot simple yet sensational imagery. Josh’s photos are natural and neutral, flooded with soft natural light and he uses the bokeh control feature of the Petzval 55 to add gorgeous texture to his images. The subject is highlighted in the center of this out-of-focus swirl for a really intriguing effect.

“This lens is all about character […] You have to embrace that the images from this lens, especially wide open, they aren’t tack sharp…but they’re full of character that just doesn’t come from a traditional 50 mm.”
— Josh Showell
Like a Dream
The Petzval 55 easily finds its place in a wedding photographer’s kit. Crystal-clear-centered subjects blend into a sensational bokeh swirl background and special Waterhouse Aperture Plates allow for the addition of magical aperture shapes. What’s more, its smooth control rings allow for silent aperture, bokeh and focus control whilst the camera is rolling.
