Wide angle portraits

Can anyone give me some examples? I'm supposed to go out with my brother and do some shots tomorrow. I love the look of wide angle portraits and just need some ideas. thx!

Cosworth has some great fisheye portraits.

One of the keys to wide angle and distortion is to keep the camera level with the horizon, more or less. When you tilt the camera up or down much at all, the distortion is exaggerated. Unless that's what you want.

Here's a candid fisheye portrait....

LOL...that's not easy!

I love wide angle portraits!

There's a cool article at http://www.pcphotomag.​com …our-frame-with-story.html about wide-angle portraits. The online version doesn't show you the images from the articles but you can see more of Lanahan's work at http://www.slidebite.c​om/ (NOT WORK SAFE!) and portraits at http://www.slidebite.c​om/portraits.html
