What is the best lens for Portrait Photography?

It is a general question among portrait photographers. Although there is no simple answer, I explain a few tips for selecting a perfect lens.

Suitable Lenses for Portrait Photography

A standard lens or a short telephoto is the best choice for the focal length. So, any focal length greater than 50mm will do the job. My favourite focal length for portraiture is 85mm to 135mm (in Full-frame cameras).

Aperture

On the other note, a lens with a larger aperture (f1.8 to f2.8) is the optimum lens. It provides greater control over the Depth of Fields to create a soft and creamy background.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”26964″ img_size=”400×500″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn” title=”Perfect Lenses for Portrait Photography”][vc_single_image image=”26965″ img_size=”400×500″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn” title=”Perfect Lenses for Portrait Photography”][vc_column_text]Lastly, I try to avoid wide-angle lenses for portraits unless I create unique images, like the picture below.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”26966″ img_size=”400×500″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn” title=”Perfect Lenses for Portrait Photography”][vc_column_text]
