I shot this series 3 years ago. Back then, I compulsively shot every fashion/portrait session with a Canon 6D and the EF 85 1.2L II. I even got the optical construction tattooed on my back!

What i see 3 years later is a mess of badly focused shots and lots of missed opportunities. 85mm is a perfect focal lenght for portraits, but, it surely gets the same pictures as the previous shot.

There is a beautiful waterfall in the background!

Here, a 35mm would capture the entirety of the forest and her loneliness

A more imperfection-free lens would've been better. Look at her profile line. It was extensively corrected.

I eventually sold the lens and now I almost never use the Tele range of lenses...but still got my tattoo!
