Portrait & fashion photography

Her wider portrait option for environmental shots and YouTube vlogging. The 35mm on full-frame gives a natural, slightly wider-than-human-eye perspective that works well when the subject is part of a location rather than isolated against a clean background.

Photography tutorials

Their primary photo lens — a 35mm f/1.4 on a full-frame body gives the slightly-wider-than-normal field of view that's a favourite for environmental portraits and editorial work. The L II version added Canon's Blue Spectrum Refractive Optic to reduce chromatic aberration at wide apertures.
