A wider lens is not the answer. The subject has to be closer to the lens. Either you have to move closer, she has to move closer to you, or both. A wider lens will mean you have to be even closer.(posted 8672 days ago)Also, since this is a posed photo and has a fair amount of formality to it, she should be in the light. The light here is wrong for the look of this photograph, she's in the dark and there are hot spots all around her. It would work nicely without her as an AD-type shot.
