I guess it’s not really a practical method, but how about shooting in large format? Have no experience with that, but I can imagine you can get some pretty shallow DOF on wider shots with a relatively fast lens.

But honestly, I don’t really like the look of those images, and think bokeh has become totally cliche and overused. You sacrifice good composition for that pretty blur. Those images would look a lot nicer and more intimate if it were shot close up.

Its really nothing new. People have been stitching pictures together for ages. Of course we have to put a special name on it right? Now all photo stitches are considered “Brenzier” methods haha.  He is just known for using photo stitching techniques. Oh wait, I’m suppose to call it the “Brenzier” technique now. I better find some photo technique and put my name on it. lol  He is a great photographer on his own rights/merits and stands out for thinking out side of the box.

I was too distracted by the photographer’s sign language to “get it”.  The host seemed about as interested. But more power to him… he’s obviously doing well with the technique.

Would have been more useful had they addressed how he manipulates the focus. Are all the individual images done with manual focus on the main subject?? Never addressed, but probably the most important part of the technique.

Where do you lock the focus for this kind of shot? Do you lock focus on the subject and then shoot around. or do you continually focus on the background as you shoot around the subject?
