    Rocko

    I want to use a 28mm wide angle lens to photograph fashion models.

    I have very limited studio space. Any suggestions and tips?

    Thanks

    get close to them so they fill the frame? might make them look to fat though.

    I would suggest you try a cheap 50mm prime (for digital, not full frame) or a 75 mm prime for a full frame sensor camera. Both are not costly lenses.

    A 28mm lens isn't very flattering for most portraits, but if your studio space is very small you might need it. Shoot with the camera as close to vertical (use a bubble level to be sure), and try to pick up a 50mm and/or 75 or 85mm lens also.
