View this post on Instagram One thing that I have found time and time again to be key in improving in any area of your life is stepping out of your comfort zone. Whether it be skills, work, relationships, knowledge, experiences... It is also very true for photography as well. I admit that for a long time I was that photographer that mostly relied on shallow depth of field in order to get pretty images (a.k.a. those blurry, creamy backgrounds) Don't get me wrong, I still love those types of portraits. But I realized there is so much more that could and SHOULD be done if I want to really master and get better in my work. Light. Shadow. Composition. Color. Movement. Long exposure. Angles. Lines. Geometry. Flashes. And the list goes on. Sooo much more to learn and honestly it feels a little scary to bump up that aperture every now and then, so I don't have that bokeh to rely on to make the photo. But I think it pays off. I feel like I'm starting to see so much more of the environment that I can actually use, instead of blur out. To all my fellow photographers, do agree with these points? Are you also guilty of relying on Bokeh a little more than you should? And what's your favourite technique when you go over that f5.6 ???? feel free to talk in numbers! I challenge... @victoriastoevaphotos @umberto_elettra_weddings @greeceweddingphotographer @elyssiap @ciprianbogdanpop @peoplebybruce @evgenievgenief @remy.montiel @auroraceriani.photography @shotsbyvieira @fanos_a_photography @eslikuipers @rsphotography.us All of you are amazing and would appreciate some input on the topic ????????
