BEST Focal Length for Portraits?

35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm. For anyone getting into portrait photography you've probably come across these prime focal lengths. These focal lengths are all great but each one affects your photo differently. The longer the focal length, the more compression. Like the background is getting bigger and closer to your subject.

The best focal length is the one that serves you best, and that's because the best portrait lens doesn't exist!

I enjoy shooting with a 35mm over all the others because it means I don't have to be 20ft away from my subject. I can use it in smaller studios and tighter spaces. It doesn't obliterate the background like an 85 or 135mm. I can also capture more environment in my scene. The 35mm works with my shooting style and for me; the most versatile. I can use it in so many different scenarios where the others can't.

Everyone has a different style and what my favourite lens is might not be yours. You might like the look of the 135mm. You might like that you're always going to get an extremely blurry background with an insane amount of compression.

The "best" lens doesn't exist!
