How Can I Nail Focus if I Love Bokeh and Blur?

In this week's photography podcast, we talk about:

  • Quick Overview on Aperture
  • Shooting Wide Open
  • Tying Blurry Photos Into a Gallery
  • Switching Mindset Between Creative and Technical Focus


Wanna know this episode in one quote? I got you!

"Creative focus - blurry photographs, photos shot through a surface, light painting, etc. - are all created to convey an emotion. While photographs with traditional focus also convey emotions, the end goal is a little different. Think of creative focus as abstract and traditional focus as, well, traditional. Together, these two types of focus can really elevate a gallery to have a ton of emotion that they could not achieve if the gallery was only made up of one type of focus."

*Marked explicit for swears!

P.S. So sorry for some of the audio quality in this one! There's some thumping + background of my fluffy pups barking that I couldn't quite remove but hey! We're learning this together, lol.
