Shooting portraits wide open versus stopping down, which is better? The answer may REVOLUTIONIZE your portrait work!
I made this video to answer a common question, why f8? f11? f16? I tend to take portraits at those higher f-stop values due to the increased depth of field, which exposes more skin texture and details in portraits. It also sets these portraits apart from the plethora of portraits being taken by newer photographers at f/1.4. Now, you'll see in-depth how all of this works and how you can apply this concept for yourself!
Note: When measuring depth of field, it's from the sensor to your subject. In the video it appears I'm measuring from the front of the lens, but that's due to the movement of myself and my model from one pose to another. Some shots I would move closer, and vice versa. All numbers are approximate, but the idea still stands. 😀✌️
