Q: What is your favorite shoot you've ever done?

A: I like to work with multiple exposure and Lensbaby because the softness, the mood. And I like to letting see normal things in a very different way. I like to experiment with new ideas and with abstraction, so you see things in a new way.

 

 

Q: What inspires you to reach for your camera?

A: I often shoot about 4 or 5 times a week. I'm inspired by softness (of flowers for instance), by lines, and by textures.
 
 

Q: What are your favorite Lensbaby Lenses to use in your session?

A: My favorite Lensbaby Lenses are the Sweet lenses, I own the Sweet 35 and the Sweet 50. Also I have the Obscure 16 lens, also a wonderful but difficult lens.

Q: What do you love the most about photography?

A: When I photograph I lose myself in the images I'm making. I forget what's going on in my surrounding, and do not think about other things. I like to create images which in real life do not exist, and I do this by working with Lensbaby lenses and multiple exposure.

 

Q: What helps you when you're struggling with a creative block?

A: Reading about photographing and leave the camera in my camera bag for a few days, then, the ideas will come again.

A: I do not consider myself as an adventurous photographer, I alsways try to step out of my comfort zone. I do so because I want to challenge myself to make different images.

 

Q: What else would you like to see from Lensbaby in the future?

A: I would like to see and ultra macro lens from Lensbaby, I think that's intruiging to make interesting images.

Hi, I'm Ellie, since I got a Lensbaby for my birthday in 2014 I fell in live with Lensbaby lenses. I love the softness and the possibility to choose the place where I want to focal point. I love my LB lenses, I use them for macro and sea- and landscape photography. When I used the LB Sweet 50 for the first time, I instantly knew that this was so interesting and fun to photograph with. Now I have more Lensbaby lenses and I use them all.
