What is the "right" focal length for portraits: OnSet ep. #298

Join Daniel Norton OnSet as he leads you through the process of choosing a lens for various types of portraits. While we often think of certain focal length lenses as “portrait lenses” the truth is, the lens you choose for your portrait will vary depending on the type of portrait you are making and the environment in which you are shooting. In this video we will work with a “Medium Telephoto” (85mm) a “normal” (50mm) and a “Wide Angle” (15mm) lenses to create portraits.
