creating bokeh backgrounds

here, i'll teach you the basics on how to create bokeh backgrounds, the technique becomes simple, after you practice, practice, pracitce and learn the basics.



you must practice this over and over before you decide to do it at a wedding or engamenent session. i don't believe in talent, or genius, those things are overrated, i believe in practice, i believe in practicing for long hours, daily.

how

1. meter for background lights (photo 1 that would be the fairy/christmas lights "A"
in photo 3 that would be the window lights of the buildings of New York City) a simiar concept is used in photo 5, using the sparklers "E")
2. under expose the background lights
3. add a video light or flash  (B, D or F.) to light the face. in photo 3, 4, 5, & 6  either my wife or assistant is crouching behind the couple with a videolight or flash

practice and enjoy...
