Lensbaby Gurus

“Soon I realized that the Lensbaby’s selective focus had a subtle but tangible influence on the other type of composition – I admit I liked that because I felt it was taking me somewhere new and unexpected, so I just went along with it.”

Luca Lacche

Luca is a fine art photographer working in Treviso - Venice, Italy. He began shooting in the 1980s with 35mm film cameras. In the ’90s, his extensive traveling—mainly to the USA—further increased his desire to make photography a bigger part of his life. A few years ago he decided to “go pro” and began working for stock photo agencies.

After not feeling satisfied with shooting stock, Luca turned his more artistic eye to the fine art market, allowing him to be more free in his self-expression. He fell in love with the “imperfect” optics of Holga and Diana cameras, but was found himself moving toward hi-tech digital cameras. When he happened upon the Lensbaby, he found what he calls “home.” Even though he started with the Lensbaby 2.0, he now prefers the Original Lensbaby and even carries 2 cameras, each with an Original Lensbaby on it (one with the f/2.8 aperture and the other with f/5.6).

Luca’s photographs are getting a lot of attention on the web and you can see more of his work at LucaLacchePhotography.net
