Do you mean a 35-80mm lens rather than an 80-35mm lens?
Any lens may be used to take photographs. What's more important is your creativity and knowledge of photography rather than specific kit. That is very difficult to impart as a response to a forum question.
I suggest you find good examples of the type of photographs you want to take and then ask 'how do I take photos like that?'
