It always looks amazing when you draw attention to a single element of the image and isolate the subject nicely.
You can use the isolating technique in different creative ways. Here are a few pointers on how to get started “on creating an isolated look”.
- Look for subjects which have distance between them and the background
- Use the lowest F-number available on your lens
- Lights in the background give a nice background bokeh (blur)
- Steady the camera or use high shutterspeeds
If you’re unsure on depth of field check out my explanation here (I use my collection of cars as subjects).
Here are a few photos to show you what it would look like if you truly crack the look.
