Project Overview
Technology/Equipment Grant for Individual Artist
Project Details
I intend to purchase a Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Ultra Wide Tilt-Shift Lens and master its many features to expand my creative capabilities on future film and video projects. Tilt-shift lenses allow photographers to move the body of the lens in relation to the sensor, enabling them to transcend the normal restrictions of depth of field and perspective.
