Some great photographs but what's with all the promotion of smoking? Why not just show someone shoving a needle in their arm? Personally, I've had enough of the cancer sticks. Sheesh.

Sorry to be a stickler, but it's SHALLOW depth of field that you're talking about; meaning there is a relatively thin plane of focus.

You define depth of field correctly, but images that are completely sharp from front to back are "depth of field" photography just as much as these images are; except they are deep depth of field, rather than shallow...

Great images you got there Jorge :) I really love the lighting. You captured the authenticity of their culture.

I've got a 7D and 50D with a 18-200mm lens (all-in-one lazy kind of lens), but I'm thinking of investing on other lenses too, to capture more stunning shots.

Some of the photos above are taken on film 6x6, some 40-150mm lens. You may click on the images to find out the specifications.

Beautiful selection indeed ! Incidentally many of this would work great as cell phone wallpapers :)

Mike is right, it was way easier to produce out of focus backgrounds and gorgeous bokeh (out of focus higlights) with 35mm film cameras since the sensors of todays compact digicams are about 1/16 their size, thus use much shorter focal lenghts.

Were the first eight shots taken in Medium format ? (the square ones)...That would explain the smooth out of focus without resorting to the extreme perspective compression of the later shots.

Check some more nice out-of focus shots in this documentary I shot mostly with 50mm and 100mm lenses at F2 in a full frame Canon 5D:
