Lensbaby Gurus
“Every subject has been shot straight using perfect glass. These lenses are far from perfect. That’s where their beauty lies.”
Craig Strong
Craig Strong is the co-founder and President of Lensbabies, LLC, and the inventor of the Lensbaby selective focus SLR camera lens. The creation of the Lensbaby came partially out of Craig’s frustrated feeling that the SLR lenses on the market at that time limited his creativity. He began experimenting with making his own lenses, and the Lensbaby was the result. Craig is now widely known for his invention of lenses that feature a “sweet spot” of focus surrounded by gradually increasing blur. In creating the first and subsequent Lensbaby products-some of the hottest items on the photography market today-Craig has provided the photographic community with unique tools that not only enable photographers to see their subjects in a new way, but also to greatly expand their creative vision.
Craig Strong has a passion for documenting the real moments of life, and a gift for capturing the personal and the humorous. As an award-winning photojournalist, he specializes in photo essays for publications, businesses, and wedding clients, as well as his own personal projects.
