there was a famous fashion shooter in the early 1970,s .   he used a 28mm F2.8 and a 300mm F2.8 for everything , on a 35mm camera.

I use whatever lens in my repertory suits my fancy and the face of my subject. But for many magazine assignments I like the immediacy of being very close to my subject with a Mamiya RB 50mm lens (equivalent to a full sized sensor 28mm). I have to put my camera on a tripod and gently raise and lower the camera until the apparent distortion is at a minimum. I never used any lens longer than the 140mm (about a 75) because it simply puts me to far away from my subject. I cannot connect at a distance.This a photograph of playwright and author Anosh Irani.

It was Arnold Newman who deliberately "broke" the rules of portraiture and used face perspective to his advantage to convey the German steel tycoon Krupp as the man who had produced a great part of the German armament of WW-II.
