Lenses

In the Lenses section I talk about how focal length, aperture, and lens design affect perspective, depth, background blur, and subject isolation — and how to choose the right lens for the kind of images you want to create.

The right lens can completely change the feel of your photos.

These aren’t spec-sheet breakdowns. They’re practical explanations that show you what different lenses do to your photos, when to use them, and why one lens can completely change the look of a scene.

If you’ve ever wondered why one lens makes your photos feel cinematic while another feels flat, this is where it starts to make sense.
