Sigma 15mm f/1.4 Fisheye Used Deliberately for Portraits

Every photographer's told someone 'don't use a fisheye for portraits.' This piece pushes back, and the argument is more practical than it sounds. The Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DG DN Fisheye Art is a lens most shooters shelve after the novelty wears off. But designing a concept around the distortion rather than trying to suppress it is a different discipline entirely, and that reframe is the useful bit. If you're looking for a way to differentiate editorial or creative portrait work without buying more glass, this is worth twenty minutes of your time.
