Mr. Von Wong is known for pushing the limits in Photography. In this video he uses the Brenizer Method with a 400mm f/2.8 lens.


I am a big fan of Ryan Brenizer’s work, and I myself have mimicked the Brenizer Method for some of my clients at their Weddings.


The Brenizer Method can be done with any lens that can have a shallow depth of field, but the results are more drastic with varying equipment.


From what I’ve seen, the Brenizer Method is more commonly shot with an 85mm f/1.4, however I prefer the look of shooting it with a 70-200mm f/2.8 @200mm. Von Wong has taken it to the extreme that the results are stunning!


Von Wong used a 400mm f/2.8, and the benefit of shooting a lens this long is that it really compresses the background. All the Bokeh balls are magnified more, and the background enlarges which makes the subject look miniature.
