Hey everyone! In today's video I want to share with you why the 35mm and 85mm prime lenses are my favourite portrait lenses. I will be taking portraits on both these lenses during today's photoshoot and sharing how I use each of them to create a story with my photography. Let me know what your favourite lens duo is in the comments!
I am using the Sony A7III with the Sony GM 35mm f1.4 and Sony GM 85mm f1.4.

Also my two preferred focal lengths for portraits. Just the right amount of separation for intrigue. 75-85 mm is a flattering perspective for people photos, and the 35 is great for the environmental shots.

Impossible to pick faves, honestly. Your photos are always so beautiful and well-composed (even when you break the rules, which is good to show because a lot of beginners focus on following the rules to a T). Urban portraits w/ overcast skies are some of my favorite style, too. I think I slightly prefer the look of a 35, but I'm partial to a wider portrait anyway (I typically shoot at 24mm for an exaggerated look) but man, can we talk about Adelaide? She was incredible. So effortless with her movements. The roller skate photos were awesome. Good call on the pads, Dan. Great work by everyone!
