Isolate subject
Remove the clutter
Isolation is mostly about framing: a long lens, a wide opening and a background with nothing in it.
How to get it
- 1
Use the longest focal length you have and the widest aperture.
- 2
Find a plain background — a wall, sky or distant trees.
- 3
Fill the frame with the subject rather than cropping later.
