Distance from model

[israel09]

Im wonder what distance do you guys liek to be from the model. Ive realized, when shooting I like to stay no more than 8 feet from the model. As the the distance grows, the intimacy and emotion is lost and the level of communcation drops. I almost feel like a Vouyer watching someone when I'm like 20 feet away.

this can be even harder when shooting some when with a long lens.

So, any feedback on your guys thoughts
