Pickleball…in a studio…with a 14-24 mm f/2.8 wide lens – what could go wrong! The NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S isn’t the lens you generally think of for portraiture, but it was also kind of cool. How do I go wide, and photograph a person, and not go off the deep end with angles and lines? How do I treat the human form decently in this wide, wide world I’d be shooting in?

Last summer I had the opportunity to call upon the services of a Lamborghini Urus Performante for a week, a beastly 657 hp SUV that proved surprisingly well mannered during everyday outings around the city, but was also more than willing to loosen the ole sash and get really moving when opportunity permitted.

If architecture is akin to classical music, often echoing its rigid structure and proclivity for rules, then interiors are more the likes of jazz where spontaneity and improvisation are hallmarks of a good sound. No matter the genre – form, rhythm, and harmony all play tremendous parts in making a space, or song, emotive.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
