Is a wide-angle lens suitable for taking portraits?

Portrait can be shot with a wide-angle lens, and "wide-angle portrait" is a special classification of portrait photography. Because the wide-angle lens will make the picture produce the effect of "middle compression+four corners expansion", the wide-angle lens has also become a photographic weapon for many landscape photographers to express "majestic".

There are also many advantages if you take portraits with wide-angle lenses. In practical application, many photographers in the studio like to use the wide-angle distortion effect to lengthen the legs of the model in order to make the model look longer.

Extended data:

The charm of a wide-angle lens is that the distortion of the lens will bring a very exaggerated effect to the picture. Intermediate compression will make the picture deeper; Stretching at four corners will make the edges slimmer.

So when shooting a model, you must not put the model's head in the corner of the picture, otherwise, under the distortion of the wide-angle lens, the model's head will be deformed and her face will become very wide? It'll be weird.
