WILL LENSBABY WORK FOR YOU?
When I first considered investing in a Lensbaby, I sat on the edge for so long, wondering if it would work for me. I adored the images I saw tagged #Lensbaby with that gorgeous intentional blur, yet I still hesitated for some reason. Would the blur suit my style? Would I effectively utilize the manual focus to produce the effects I wanted?
Fast forward to today, and I am so thankful I took the leap and purchased my first Lensbaby - the Sol 45.
FINDING YOUR CREATIVE VOICE
Once I became comfortable using the Sol 45, I found my voice as an artist. Before it, I was happy with my images and process as an artist, but something was lacking, even though I hadn’t realized it then.
SEEING DIFFERENTLY WITH LENSBABY
A creative spark lit within, and I’ve been inspired in many different ways. Nowadays, It’s rare to reach for a regular lens for my work, as the Sol 45 helps me tell my story in a richer and dreamier way.
I see differently now. I have a clearer sense of what I want to capture even though the lines become more blurred when you use a manual lens like Lensbaby. It’s that exact open-endedness that I love to work within. My imagery has a new freedom that moves away from traditional rules while embracing that gorgeous intentional blur.
BE INTENTIONAL WITH MANUAL FOCUS
I also have grown so fond of manual focusing. Slowing down has helped me become more intentional with my work, with a clearer sense of the moments I want to capture. Realizing I’ve achieved my desired focus is incredibly rewarding. I love capturing movement, which the Sol 45 does incredibly well, all while surrounding the subject in a beautiful blur and stunning bokeh.
LETTING GO OF FEARS
Those fears I initially held on to have disappeared for good. Does the blur suit my style? Absolutely. Can I manually focus? Yes! It takes time and effort, but the results are worth it. Would I be able to achieve that blur? Yes! Over time, I have learned to use the blur creatively to tell my story better and bring attention to my subject.
