I’m pretty sure I shot this with my 50mm lens and a wide open (or close to wide open) aperture. Shooting that way really isolates the subject from the rest of the environment, which is useful when shooting in a busy place. The only down side is if focus is the least bit off the whole shot is blown. Wide open apertures aren’t very forgiving, but when they are well focused they are delicious.
