This was an experiment in taking a portrait using a longer focal length, which I’ve oft heard quoted as rule number one for portraiture. The golden number is 100mm, so they say.
The only lens I have is a 17-85mm zoom lens, and this was taken all the way out at 85mm. The idea is to compress the background and flatten out the space between subject and surroundings.
It definitely works - much more impactful.
