The Best Way to Grow Your Prime Lens Collection

Ready to grow your prime lens collection but not sure what lens to buy next? Or which prime lenses work together? What your "holy trinity" of lenses should be?!

This is probably one of my most asked questions, both from my Auto to Awesome students and from blog readers, because it can be really difficult to know the right way to grow your prime lens collection, and which lens is going to make you the biggest difference to your photos.

I know that I definitely didn’t go about adding to my lens lineup in the right way, and I wasted a lot of money that could have been better spent elsewhere - and as always, I want YOU to avoid the mistakes that I made!

So in this video, I walk through the questions to ask yourself when choosing your next lens, some ideas for recommended lenses for child and family photography, and the order in which to purchase any lenses to add to your collection.

I’ve also got a free download that goes along with this video - our Which Lens Kickstarter Guide!

This guide is the perfect complement to the video, because it goes into more scenarios for each lens than I do here, plus it has example photos taken with each lens so that you can see the lens in action! Go here to download it.

Whether you’re in the market for a new lens, or just wondering the best way to grow your prime lens collection, you're in the perfect place….
