Starting "Portrait" Photography

I've been interested in candid (portrait) photography since before I even got started doing photography. But, instead of pursuing that style, I found architecture so much easier to capture and thought I'd never change. About a year ago, I started taking my camera into NYC every time I visited, and street photography actually became a lot of fun. I was extremely anxious at first, but I knew I needed to get out of my comfort zone and diversify my work if I was ever going to improve my photography skills. Now that I have more experience in this area, I'm currently in the process of upgrading my camera equipment so I can maximize results. That being said, I won't be selling my wide angle lens because it's pretty much essential in any photographer's bag. It did take me a while to sift through all of the research material that is available. So, in this post, I just wanted to share a video that I found extremely helpful when deciding what lens I wanted to buy.
