Welcome to the Visual Storytelling podcast. Let’s discuss which lens is best for portrait photography.
Common portrait lens choices include:
1. 85mm f/1.8 or f/1.4: Great for headshots and portraits, providing a flattering perspective and creamy bokeh.
2. 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4: Versatile and often more budget-friendly, suitable for full-body or environmental portraits.
3. 35mm f/1.8 or f/1.4: Wider angle, ideal for environmental portraits and capturing more of the surroundings.
I love answering your photography related questions, so if you have anything you would like answered or discussed, then ask away and I’ll do my utmost to provide you with a to the point response that will hopefully not only answer your question, but offer you clarity as well.
