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. You can leave a question here on the podcast or contact me through either X or Threads @GaryFernon.

Don’t forget to follow the podcast so as not to miss out on, not only new episodes, but catch up on previous episodes you may have missed, or simply wish to listen to again. It genuinely does make a difference.

Until next time,

Be Creative. Be Inspired. Be You.
