Hello everyone, I am a hobbyist photographer and have been given an opportunity to do a photo shoot (pro bono) at a charity school with students ranging from kindergarten to high-school. The “client” would like to have photos of the students at different moment of the day, in the classroom, at recess, at the canteen, etc… as well as some portraits.
It’s basically a journalistic/documenting photo shoots, and the first assignment I ever got. I was wondering what kind of lenses you would pick for this type of job. Would you go with primes only, zoom only or a combination of prime+zoom?
I have a fuji xt5 with the xf 16mm f/2.8, xf 35mm f/1.4 and the xf 18-55mm kit lens. I also have some manual lense in 35mm and 50mm which I use on my “I don’t care” days only. I have been considering for a longtime getting the xf 56mm f/1.2 WR, but I’m afraid of the double redundancy of that focal length in my set.
Thank you for your input!
