The focal lens length is only 7.8 - 23.4 mm range
Patricia,

I agree with John's analysis. This lens is much too short for portrait work. If this is a digital camera, and if my memory serves me correctly, to get the equivalent focal length that we were used to with film cameras you would multiply your numbers by 1.6%. This brings your 23.4 up to 37.4. This is still not adequate and is causing a distortion that you would not want to replicate.
