  1. It is shooting distance not focus length that changes near far side relationships. When shooting faces I will move in and out with the camera and compare how it renders the size of the nose relative to the ears then let my brain tell me which is the most flattering distance or in some case the distortion want. Then I pick the focal length which gives me the desired in camera crop. For example shooting with your 24-70mm f/2.8 from 8-9ft I can capture full length, 3/4 and head and shoulder and all three will have the same facial render. If I used a prime and moved in and out to get the crop the facial rendering would change.

    Changing near-far perspective really flatters a subject with non-symmetrical features. For example if one eye is larger posing the face obliquely with the smaller eye closer to the camera then moving in and out until the size appears more similar will be more flattering than a full face view where the difference becomes obvious.

  2. Are you referring to focal length in the 3 different lenses 35,50,85? This maybe a really dumb question, but wouldn’t a 24-105mm lens replace all 3 of those lenses? Or are those 3 values referring to some other thing like diameter.

  3. you need to take in account what kind of image sensor you have. A 35mm on a aps-c compares to a focal length of rougly 52mm on a full frame. A lot of beginner dslr's have aps-c, so in that case the 35mm would be the more suitable fit for everyday portaiture and street photography, as the images it produce look more or less alike those of the 50-55mm on a full frame, the field of view is different, but 35mm 1.8 or 30mm 1.4 on a aps-c are most likely the best photo's you can get for the buck's. For instance the combo of a Nikon d5100, with a Sigma 30mm 1.4, gets you started for arround 350 usd.

  4. Such a great video. I have a 50 1.4 (should have bought about 1.2 lol) but need a zoom lense for indoor/tight space and scenery. What is a recommended complementary lense?

  5. This is the best comparison of the three focal lengths that I've yet seen, anywhere! You really show how each focal length affects how the model and environment are shown. The 35mm gives a great sense of environment (but sometimes to the detriment of the subject), with lots of leading lines; the 50mm shows balanced proportions for everything in the frame, with just enough of the environment; and the 85mm has a dreamy, other-worldly look, flattening out the background and making you focus on the subject. All three lenses have their time and place!
