I detest wide angle portraits which is what we mainly get in these days of photograpic diarrhoea.
A 70 to 90 mm lens gives a view as my eyes see it but of course this is useless for a "selfie" and whilst I own lenses much wider I don't use them much, just for particualar "effects".
When I was 15 I was the only person I knew with a camera, shot B&W and developed and enlarged my own work but couldn't afford to take many pictures, one 36 exposure roll per month or so. Nowadays everybody who has a 'phone has a camera and, probably starting because the cost is zero, takes pictures all the time and never makes a print and displays it.
My 15 year old grand-daughter was upset by how awful she felt she looked in photographs and refuses to be photographed. I showed her she looked normal if taken with a normal focal length (90mm) she obviously had no idea it was because a mobile phone is pretty well the worst photographic device ever made for portaits.
I suppose in our crowded world and with the world full of phone and reportage wide angle pictures is what we have got used to.
The word photography means a very different thing today than it did in 1965.
