Nicolas and Xavier are the epitome of many people who were amazed by Japan initially and decided to stay here for an extended time. They were invited to dialogue about their life and work through their photographs and this conversation explores the stories of themーHow they live with photography in these two famous Japanese cities and why they are still taking photos of the two cities after so many years.
Tony Noel is an action photographer based in France. Through his photos, he shows his passion for the dynamic movement of his models who are mostly dancers, and tries to push his boundary with a wide-angle lens. He enjoyed the look that a 20mm lens brings to create variations of similar scenes. We can see that he plays with the tension that is given by the wide angle as well as the close-up like effect to create a sort of rhythm in similar scenes.
These beautiful photos were taken in Assateague National Seashore in Maryland and Taughannock Falls near Ithaca, New York for the starry sky, waterfall and Milky way. The wide angle of view of 20mm conveys the grandeur of nature. Jack was blown away by the optical performance of this lens, even in the extreme corners. The stars remained pinpoint dots of light, truly an astrophotographer’s dream.

Dean Sherwood is a photographer and cinematographer based in London who usually works with musicians. 20mm is a fun focal length for him. Most people may assume it’s a landscape lens but it is perfect to use in small spaces like backstage in dressing rooms, in a studio, stuck between a drummer and a stage backdrop. He also commented that it beautifully balanced on his Leica SL2. It’s light, but not toy-like in its feel, it feels robust, it feels like a lens he would be able to trust.
Numazawa Shigemi is a Japanese astronomical photographer. He commented that, surprisingly, the SIGMA 20mm F1.4 DG DN | Art suppresses sagittal coma flare to near perfection from the maximum aperture. The contrast, vignetting, and performance against backlight at F1.4 are also perfect, and it is wonderful to be able to enjoy its open aperture performance without worry.
Benedict Brain is a photographer, journalist, and author based in the UK. He photographed part of his trip to New York City. He approached the landscape with a documentary approach and draw his inspiration from photographers such as The New Topographics. He made images in the outskirts of urban developments. In his photos, we can see he likes to consider and explore humanity’s relationship with nature with his camera. In addition to the urban topographies, he took photos of people he met on his travels.
Francesco Riccardo lacomono is a travel and landscape photographer based in Italy, traveling all over the world. With the SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, he traveled to central Italy, the roots of his landscape photos. From the picturesque landscapes to the Milky way, he enjoyed this lens in multiple ways to capture the memories during his trip. We can see that this lens is very versatile for diverse scenes with great renditions for such landscape he takes.
Liam Doran. Mr. Doran is an outdoor photographer who is based in the USA. He uses the new 24mm to photograph landscapes high in the alpine and mountain biking. He said that this lens is sophistication simplified. It is fast and sharp as well as small and light. He enjoyed shooting both action sports and landscapes with this incredibly versatile lens. The SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art lens should find a spot in just about every photographer’s bag.
Sahim AHMED is an environmental portrait photographer based in France. He usually uses the SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art but this time he challenges himself with the new 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art to give his portrait photos a new look. He photographs some models in Paris in various locations with both larger plans and relatively intimate distances on his models. He appreciates the impressive optical performance. He also commented that being a minimalist and packing with the goal of taking the least gear in the field, this SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art fits the “go-to lens” for his workflow and for the style of photos he photographs.

SIGMA’s excellence in development and production technologies has been built up since our founding in 1961 and became increasingly sophisticated with the introduction of the SIGMA Global Vision brand in 2012.
