最後,還有個他很有價值的訪談,感興趣可以細看The Technique Behind Martin Schoeller"s Photography 其中和問題相關的幾句: "I use a medium format camera that takes roll film. I light them with these light banks. Fluorescent light. Basically they look like fluorescent light bulbs but their color temperature is daylight color temperature. They』re called Kino Flos. They』re mainly used in the film industry, because it』s not a strobe light, so it』s not actually that bright. I mean they』re bright to look at because they』re much brighter than the flashing strobe obviously. But they』re for a very shallow depth of field and a very narrow depth of field which kind of also emphasizes what I』m trying to do with bringing out the eyes and the lips, where most of the expression in a person』s face is all about the eyes and the lips. I try to get my focus right so the eyes and the lips are the focus. Everything falls away so quickly because of the shallow depth of field. Everything else becomes secondary. So not only am I focusing on just the face, I』m even concentrating it more by having everything else look like it』s out of focus. " 「我使用的是可拍攝視頻的中畫幅相機,我不適用閃光燈,而是一種叫做KinoFlos的熒光燈,它通常是用來拍攝電影的,會使得拍攝對象看起來更加明亮自然。它的運用的領域和範圍都相對比較狹窄,不過可以較好地凸顯我想要表達的眼神和嘴唇。我正在努力使自己的對焦更準確,使眼睛和嘴唇更加清晰。運用短的景深抓拍一瞬即逝的神態,其他都是浮雲。」(該譯文自廣州日報 2011年3月12日 B16版,只報道該文前半部分,翻得比較隨意,roll film應該是膠捲,Schoeller用的是中畫幅膠片機) 另外還有關於攝距的, "How close do you have to get to the subject? I』m about four or five feet away. I』m not that close because I』m using a fairly long lens to make sure that the face is not being distorted." 離人物4-5英尺(1.2-1.5m),為了避免產生面部畸變我用了比較長的鏡頭,所以不會靠那麼近。(這個距離我經驗判斷是用85mm左右的鏡頭)
