DOP Diana Olifirova on the lens of her choice: 
“I really like Cooke lenses for their character and how they shape the image.

I chose Cooke Anamorphics to shoot the series and on this occasion it was all going to be about transmitting the characters’ personalities.

I always find it hard to explain to anyone about the choice of lens, for me it is an incredibly emotional choice. I feel like these lenses paint the background, the blurriness of them makes it feel like a painting, so it doesn’t really distract you from what is sharp and important in the scene.

I like to play with the blurriness of the image the lenses deliver, and I like to play with every single part of the image, but I’d like it to be slightly more obscure and to have slightly less clarity on the top, the bottom and sides of the image. The attention point I want to bring the audience to is inside the shot rather than on the edges.”

On some lenses that blur of the image feels very « technical » or one could say digital, but the Cookes make the look and feel very picturesque, artistic and sophisticated.
