Zoom vs Prime - 50mm f/1.4 vs 24-70mm f/2.8 Portrait Challenge

In this portrait photography challenge, we find out which is the best option for shooting portraits - primes or zoom lenses? So, myself and Tim Berry from Sigma UK were set a number of tasks to try and complete in order to discover both the pros and cons of using zooms and primes.

Being a prime lover myself, I was equipped with the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM prime lens, whilst Tim was sporting the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN.

Once we completed all 4 of our tasks, we sat down to discuss our experiences and try and figure out once and for all whether primes or zooms are the best for capturing portraits.
