While a shallow depth of field might only seem easy with the right equipment, there are a few technical ways you can pull it off with inexpensive gear. In this tutorial, we look at three\u00a0key\u00a0ways to create that breathtaking &#8220;out-of-focus&#8221; depth of field: aperture, distance to subject, and focal length.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V-BIdVvKcpk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"aperture\">Aperture<\/h3>\n<p>This is probably the most obvious way to control how sharp or shallow your image will turn out. Shooting close to wide open on your lens will help blur the background while\u00a0retaining focus on your subject. The more you stop down on your lens, say f\/22, the\u00a0sharper your image will be. Aperture is important to control; however, it is perhaps the least important technical factor behind creating a shallow depth of field.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-97690\" title=\"3 Easy Ways You Can Create A Shallow Depth of Field \u2014 16mm\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg\" alt=\"3 Easy Ways You Can Create A Shallow Depth of Field \u2014 16mm\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=277,156 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=359,202 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=543,305 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=865,487 865w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=994,559 994w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=560,315 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DOF.00_00_52_05.Still003.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"distance-to-subject\">Distance to Subject<\/h3>\n<p>Distance to subject\u00a0is no\u00a0doubt the best way to\u00a0create a\u00a0shallow image.\u00a0\u00a0The closer your talent is to the camera, the more out-of-focus your background will become. If you focus your lens thirty feet away, the majority of your image will\u00a0appear in focus (including subject and background). So to create a shallow depth of field, think about how you can draw your talent or object closer to the lens.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-97701\" title=\"3 Easy Ways You Can Create A Shallow Depth of Field \u2014 Aperture\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg\" alt=\"3 Easy Ways You Can Create A Shallow Depth of Field \u2014 Aperture\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=277,156 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=359,202 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=543,305 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=865,487 865w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=994,559 994w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=560,315 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focus-Distance.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"focal-length\">Focal\u00a0Length<\/h3>\n<p>There is a difference between a 16mm lens and an 85mm lens. When you use a 16mm lens, the background and subject will seem further away and the focus might\u00a0lose contrast. However, using an 85mm lens compresses your shot and\u00a0brings the background and subject closer together. This compression makes the background seem more out of focus than a 16mm lens can normally pull off.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"-3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-97700\" title=\"3 Easy Ways You Can Create A Shallow Depth of Field \u2014 Focus Distance\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg\" alt=\"3 Easy Ways You Can Create A Shallow Depth of Field \u2014 Focus Distance\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=277,156 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=359,202 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=543,305 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=865,487 865w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=994,559 994w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=560,315 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Focal-Length.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"bonus-subject-to-background-depth\">Bonus: Subject to Background Depth<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0preceding three techniques will help you create a shallow depth of field, but only if you\u00a0maintain\u00a0the right distance between your subject and background. Make sure\u00a0to pull your talent away from walls, trees, or anything that\u00a0would blend them into the background. No matter what focal length or aperture you use, if your talent is against\u00a0a wall, you will not be able to create a shallow depth of field.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Looking for more video tutorials?
