Portrait Lens Options; Try More Than The Mid-Range Tele Page 2
But there are times when we may choose not to use a traditional lens because we want to get a totally different effect. We may want to choose a much shorter lens, even shorter than normal, to add drama to the photo, to include important background, or perhaps to emphasize the foreground. Using short lenses to take portraits is very challenging, because instead of trying to eliminate distractions we're usually working with many more elements in the scene. The plus side is that you can create a unique, attention-getting look that your client probably hasn't seen before.
