I took this a couple of years ago while I was waiting for students to finish class evaluations. It's a good example of why you don't want to use a wide angle lens for portraiture.

wide angle lens can be great for portraits... gives perspective of the environment... that' why documentary photographers use wide angle lenses... when in doubt "get closer"

It's not the wide angle of view that is the problem. It's the distortion of facial features.

In this case, it worked. It gave a story you may not have had. Great SP.

Well Charles...If you look any better in person than this picture...You might pop the lense! (so maybe from this point of view it would be best to stick with the wide angle!)

what I notice with wide-angle portraits, if you're too close the subject winds up looking cross-eyed. I like all the shapes in here though. I wonder how long you've had those glasses (there's a compliment in there don't worry).
