The most important tool for me is the lens. I typically use a large diameter 50 mm lens, whose large aperture allows for an expressive blurring. Blurring adds an emotional atmosphere, where focus (or the lack thereof) is emphasized. Depending on the photo, I will purposely blur or focus on what I would like to emphasize. What I ultimately want is to make works behind which people will imagine a story. As an artist, my only responsibility is to create what I think is beautiful. I want to make something one cannot tire of easily, whose value reveals itself upon repeated views.
