50mm vs 85mm for portraits

In this video, I discuss the use of 50mm vs 85mm for portraits. You'll find many videos out there that simply show examples of the two lenses, but like many things in our craft, I feel like the question of why is seldom spoken. So in this video, that is exactly what I do.

Thanks so much for your support and feedback!
