After having practiced portrait photography for a while I have come to realize that there are specific results that I desire to achieve. This means a new lense! However after steeping myself in the multitude of lenses that could work for my nikon I have to admit that I'm at a bit of a loss. The sort of results I wish to achieve are like that of this link:

I really want to have that almost circular distortion in the background.
I also adore the extreme clarity of this image and hope to achieve that too: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJUKMxaDizA/?taken-by=davis.hilton
So what sort of lenses do I need for that? I'd like straight forward answers please. However is this something that can/is achieved post editing? Or can it be achived with my af-s nikkor 55-300mm lense?
Thank you!
