This is a lens test with my great friend and collaborator Brett Marty. When conceptualizing a portrait it is important and interesting to think about how you want the end shot to feel. The differences between a 50mm vs. an 85mm (or longer telephoto) are subtle but can completely change the impression of the image. Here the first three shots are taken with a Sigma Art 50mm 1.4 and the last three with a Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro. You’ll notice that the first three shots are moodier and more personal (perhaps) whereas the next three shots are punchier and feel more staged ............... What I am liking about the 90mm Tamron is that I can seamlessly move from a portrait situation to a macro situation, which has many uses for my personal work.Â
