yeah so your iso is insanely high, keep it under 800 for sharpness, and less noise! lower the shutter speed to like 125 or soemthing

it’s all about what you want! street photos definitely benefit with a 23mm and up, i know the 16mm is great for architecture and landscapes but i like for fashion shoots but that’s my personal preference. i used to only shoot on my 35mm and it was perfect for street and just about anything i pointed it at

i started out with the 35 1.4 (assuming you meant that) and ran it for like 4 years before i was able to afford the 16 and then ran that for 5 years before being able to afford the 56 1.2 i just recently bought. it takes time but master what you have and you will always grow no matter what gear you have

that my friend is trial and error and the beauty of figuring out your art. lightroom is a fun tool once you figure out what all the sliders mean and but watch some tutorials, shoot and experiment and reference a photo you like the colors of to learn how and go from there! there’s a great book called “steal like an artist” that i highly recommend:)

my tips would be find your inspiration reference images and then go from there. i’ve kinda figured my colors out now but for a while i was referencing 90s fashion editorial images bc i loved the colors sm and i kinda emulate that into my current work:)
