Candid shot
Keep it simple
Good photographs often don’t require a special gimmick or complicated technique. This simple black-and-white portrait is the kind of candid image a wedding photographer might capture while the bride and bridesmaids get ready for the Big Day. We used a wide aperture of f/2 to blur the foreground interest, which added depth. The subject was framed on the right, since she was looking towards the left portion of the image and we focused on the eye that was closest to the camera. It was then simply a case of converting the photo to black and white in post-production.
