Portraits with 50mm and 90mm

Finally a new portrait shoot, which I also used for a lens test. Actually never worked with a 50mm, so time for a try! I usually worked with a 85/90 lens, later added a 35. I kinda like the slighty distorted look of the 50mm compared to the 90mm. The pictures seem to have a bit more depth and “pop“. Or is that just me seeing things because I got a new toy? What do you think?

Yes I agree, especially the first picture. And I see a better focus on the (pretty) face

Personally I like the 50mm for images from this distance. A little more dynamic and less compressed.

I agree. And I see no distortion. 50mm is great for that kind of shots.

Thanks guys! I've been playing around a little more with the 50 and like it a lot. No idea how I never used a nifty fifty. Every focal length has it's time, I guess. Sometimes I prefer the better compression of the 90, but in most cases, the 50 looks just more interesting. If only I#d win the lottery, but one lens has to go
