A question that every photographer probably asks at some point – especially when starting out – is whether to choose a prime lens or a zoom lens. Both have their perks, but this portrait photographer prefers to work with a prime – a 35mm, no less, specifically the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art.
Prime lenses have fixed focal lengths, which means you often have to 'zoom with your feet' and move around to get the composition just right. On the other hand, zoom lenses provide a lot more flexibility. While primes are well known for their incredible sharpness, modern zooms are closing this gap more and more.
