To master something you need to do it over and over again. And using a Lensbaby will take a lot of practice to master. Today most of these shots were taken with custom aperture disk – either shaped in a heart or a star. This makes the highlights look like a heart or a star. Pretty cool effect.

Most of these shots are meant to be out of focus so the light bulbs I photographed will look like a star or a heart.
An aperture shaped like a heart creates heart shaped highlights
Star shaped aperture creates stars in the highlights
