Brenizer Method

[JosephCarter]

This is my first attempt at the Brenizer Method. Basically its multiple telephoto images stitched together to create an image with very shallow depth of field. It works awesome for portraits, but this guy is the closest thing to a model I could find. I was surprised how well they turned out for my first try. Each image is between 35 -45 frames.

Next time I will make my girlfriend pose for me

I'd love to hear your thoughts!



btw - they say it works best with an 85mm f1.4 but I cant afford that kinda glass so I had to shoot it at 200mm f4.5 to achieve a similar DoF, I assume it would be much easier to shoot this method at 85mm though.

Good job. I usually use my 135 f/2.
