Why these are my 2 favourite Portrait Lenses

Why these are my 2 favourite Portrait Lenses



Photos edited with my Amalfi Lightroom Preset Pack:

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.

    At 0:45, theres a motion blur effect added. What is that called if I wanted to look up how to do it in post?

    nice session. I would never get so empty streets in Munich and get a model to sit in the middle of the street unbothered 😁

    Do you think the 35mm is better than the 135mm? I love the 135mm just because of the compression.

    How do you show the camera view on the screen?

    Your shoots are so much fun to watch and so informative as well. Loved the look of the boots with the dress. Also, when those lights came on at the end it was very cool. Thanks again for your work.

    Excellent FUN portrait shoot, I cannot separate these two lenses, if I had to make a choice and split hairs then I would go with the 35mm as the inclusion of the environment just does it for me! Love your work Julia, always so much fun and plenty of giggles!😂
