Photography News: Approaching the Holiday Deal Season

Posted on November 24, 2024 by ShutterBug

By the time this Photography News has been published, I will be wrapping up a lecture here in Prague on photographing Sri Lanka. If you missed it, not to worry – many of the photos and stories will find their way into the pages of Photography Life in the future. Why do I mention this?

Today, I’d like to explore the factors that contribute to DoF, and especially the storytelling impact of a shallow versus a deep DoF. I’ll also discuss what I have been gravitating toward in my own work.
