TOP LEFT—A fast lens can let you handhold your camera even in
low light. You could have taken this image with a slower lens
mounted on a tripod, but would your subject have stayed still long
enough? TOP RIGHT—Using a very wide angle lens let me capture
this attention-getting shot of Christal with a custom chopper. The
image was made for a bike shop, advertising their chopper line,
and for Christal’s modeling portfolio. ABOVE—The black & white
portrait of Hyun Joung on the couch is reminiscent of early photo-
graphs in that only her face is in focus. LEFT—Tarina’s portrait,
shot through the strands of a hammock chair, illustrates the same
principle; only her face is in focus. Both portraits were taken with
the Canon 85mm wide open at f/1.8.
