Fresnels in photography

A Fresnel is a classic light-shaping tool that forms and magnifies a single focused beam evenly over long distances. The concentric annular grooves on the surface of a Fresnel all refract light differently – but combined, they create a light that makes portraits feel alive, scenes cinematic, and far-away subjects visible. Get creative and let the Fresnel lens guide your vision home.
