This is more a question on the camera side. I remember you were getting into photography and I see you now have a few lenses. Which focal length is your favourite? I see you mostly use zooms

Hi
I take 90% of my photos with the Sony FE 20-70mm F:4Gβit's my first lens, but I don't think it's the best. The 50mm is what I use the most, so I think I need to upgrade this year).

I've seen a lot of talks online about a similar lens, I think 24 - 70.
I've always been more of a prime person due to the filmmaking side. More aperture control and more unique characteristcs. Never been a fan of zooms due to the higher aperture.
Are you mostly shooting at 50mm for the portraits?
No, I photograph everything, and I especially like to use the Sony FE 70-200mm F: 2.8 GM OSS II. It's inconvenient in the city, but great for nature. Yes, you're right. The 24-70 is advertised everywhereβI'd like to try it. And yes, a zoom lens might not be as good, but it's very convenient when you're photographing life, not studio portraits. How long have you been photographing?

I've been doing it for almost a decade now. Though I was always more inspired by film stock and cinema. I need to upgrade the camera at the moment, and I'm really looking at something like the FX30 (FX3 if some things pick up a bit faster). I wouldn't choose APS-C for photography but for video it's not much different to the sensors Hollywood uses at S35.
studio portraits
My mightmare.
I carry about multiple lenses when I'm outside but each lens is different somehow. And it's very useful if I do shoot video. Either vintage glass or a focal length and totally different type of bokeh. I've been wanting to use my prime 85mm 1.8 more lately now that the artificial lights turn on a bit earlier with the shorter daylight hours.
Oh yeah, maybe I'll get around to shooting videos someday too. I've only been learning photography for a year and a half now, and I'm even afraid to dive into something as complex as video. All these lenses and cameras cost a ton of money, and many people shoot with their phones, but I love shooting with a camera, but I still have a lot to learn.
Is this your hobby, or can you make money from it? For me, it's a hobby, and I want to share it with someone.
It started off as a hobby, then I worked in the UK film industry in camera and lighting, then I ended up here in Armenia and recently started a filmmaking/photo business here. I love doing it so it'll always be a hobby of mine.
The good thing is you got a Sony and they genuinely are great hybrids. You won't need to learn a lot regarding using the camera, just shoot in SLOG3 and learn how to colour grade with Davinci Resolve. Very easy stuff and very fun once you get a bit more familiar with Davinci.
You're going through the natural progression of a hybrid owner, it's inevitable you end up finding cinematic ways to capture the family, then it's a whole new addiction haha
Nice to meet you! If I have any questions about the video, now I know who to ask or get advice from.
