Matt & Emma, thanks...

Joel - Thanks Peter! I used a couple, most likely the 85 f/1.2 or the 24 f/1.4 though. I like using those two in particular: the 85 for it’s amazing background blur, and the 24 for its unique shallow depth-of-field perspective at a wide angle (which we are used to seeing a great amount in focus with wide angle shots).

Peter Marks - Awesome work Joel! What lens did you use for the narrow depth of field shots?
