HIT THE LIGHTS

Once you’ve constructed the cover, you’re ready to start shooting. Ideally, you’ll want an environment that has multiple light sources. Night cityscapes can be effective, but you can easily stay inside and go abstract. Play with fairy lights, lava lamps or candles (carefully).

Open wide

In Aperture Priority mode, set the aperture to your lens’s maximum value. For example, our 50mm lens went down to f/1.8, which we used to create a shallow depth of field. Moving closer to your subject also makes the background blurrier.
