PARIS THROUGH A LENS
Hi my name is Ryad.
I’m photographer, film maker and art director based in Paris.
I work with well known brands like Coca Cola, DS, Opel, Eastpak, Mariott Hotels etc
in different capacities including video production, editing, commercial photography and digital campaigns.
Since 2017, I’ve been a Samyang brand ambassador and in this post, I want to share my story - the story of the city I live in : PARIS THROUGH A LENS.
Why the Samyang AF 14mm F2.8 FE?
First of all, as I said above, since the switch, I have been looking for something lightweight with high performance to make my travel better and lighter. The 14mm was the perfect choice for me, because it’s a fast lens (F2.8) perfect for lowlight shots. The focal length is huge and I like showing that perspective in my style of photographs. I also like it because it has AF and that’ makes street photography more efficient by capturing the moment quickly.
What I love about this lens is
it has sharpness and low distortion.
Even if I’m on a 42mp sensor, the result is quite sharp.
I also used it in extreme conditions (I don’t know if it’s weather sealed or not)
but it’s still working very well.
After months of using that lens, it has become one of my most used lenses for my urban/architecture/city pictures. I always have it in my backpack because it gives me another perspective.
