5 reasons why 35mm is my favorite focal lenght
The 35mm focal length has always felt natural to me for street photography.
It gives me enough space to include the environment while remaining close to the people and situations I photograph.
I like the way it balances subject and context, without making either one too dominant.
It also allows me to work at a distance that feels natural to me, moving through the scene rather than observing it from too far away.
Most importantly, after years of photographing in the street, 35mm simply feels like my way of seeing.
That's why it remains my favorite focal length.
The photograph here was made exactly 10 years ago, in October 2011…in Los Angeles where I was invited to be one of the 30 photographers to photograph in DTLA during the challenge and exhibition at You Are Here, Art gallery in the Fashion District.
