ABOUT US | PRISM LENS FX:
Prism Lens FX was founded in 2018 by Cinematographers & Creatives - Jakob Owens and Thomas Taugher. By holding different pieces of glass, diopters, light bulbs, champagne flutes… to abstract/bend the light coming into the camera lenses, they were able to create unique images in camera. Finding it hard to operate the camera, pull the focus, zoom in and hold a piece of glass in front of the lens… this was their lightbulb moment. “Let’s figure out a way to create products that give unique in-camera effects that the filmmaker or photographer doesn’t have to hold, but instead could mount to the camera or handle that they could easily move and dodge in frame if they wanted to.

Not able to find a product or solution, they decided to make their own. They began hand crafting glass products and filters, in a small warehouse in L.A. that could attach to an articulating arm and handle. Prism Lens FX was born with a vision to offer filmmakers and photographers - creative, unique and expressive tools at an affordable price point.
“We hope to be that filter in your camera bag that you want to put in front of your lens when you want to alter or make your images be a little more bold or expressive. So, if you like instant results and hate spending time and effort in post-production, our filters and prisms will give you the industries most creative and unique in-camera effects to make your work stand out.” Jakob & Tom

Literally been telling this to people for No one wants to believe me, but here you go (love the example you showed! I use it for food photography as well. It helps to be able to choose the "sauciness" of the food and is a true weapon for so many other industries I shoot as well!

I have several CPL's that I use for landscape shots. I now have new knowledge on how to apply them for portraits. I learned some valuable info here. Thanks!

[kwkarol]

Damn, that's crazy. Never thought of using CPLs to get rid of shiny skin. Makes so much sense, though

[ByronWoodCarver]

good stuff maan.. maan the subject is really torched with light from so many angles..hats off

[AlreadyTiredOfYou]

I reckon using a non locking cpl with a vnd (2 cpl) might be quite a challenge... do you have any recommendations about how to go about it? cpl or vnd in front?

[jakobowens]

This was such a fun day! Who wants more?!

[rhemtro]

damn, that's crazy 😆 loved the vid

OK. Thanks for being so obvious saved me 11 minutes. Unless she's a robot its clear the with/without video is the same. So clearly its only been edited with post not seeing actual use of the filter. I guess I understand the concepts and you have to make dramatic editing since its an add.
