    Hi, I love the photography look! Could you suggest me some lenses for my Canon 7d that whould help me get closer to your photography style? Thanks a lot!:)
  • M. Keegan Uhl plus 10 months ago
    I use old Nikons, Ai and Ai-s lenses. Try keh.com for good used prices. I think the look is mostly in the lighting, post processing and color grade, however. And there's no easy shortcut to that.

    I used to smoke and loved my Zippo. Still do, even though I still don't smoke.
