1) consistent image style

Fixed use of the same lens can bring a consistent feeling and impression. Whether it is a landscape or a portrait, the photographer uses the same 50mm, which already represents her angle.

2) Narration is more important

For a photographer, the process of taking a photo is to find inspiration, decide the location, make up, choose a model, confirm the performance style, and create an atmosphere and story? These things are far more important than what lens to choose.

3) focus on one thing.

When you only have one lens, you will try your best to exert its greatest strength in shooting, use the lens to the extreme, and establish a deeper relationship with it, so that your lens will become your viewpoint.

4) Save time

It saves the time to choose the lens, and also reduces the time to clean the camera because of frequent mirror changes.

5) Standardization of creation

For photographers, the 50mm lens is close to the human perspective, and the fixed and familiar impression can make the audience feel immersive. Moreover, photographers can reproduce the "scenery" that everyone sees all the time in life, and the places, light and composition that can be photographed through a 50mm lens.

6) Reduce expenses

Only invest in a good lens and save a lot of money.

Marta Bevacqua's sharing caused a lot of repercussions. For example, because her works mainly focus on portrait photography, 50mm is enough, but if there are other photography projects such as ecology, it is obviously not enough, right? However, from the perspective of pure personal creation, choosing a commonly used lens (not limited to 50mm) and then focusing will really make people create better works.
