Why Shallow Depth of Field in the Studio Is Harder Than It Looks (And How to Actually Pull It Off)
There is a specific kind of frustration that comes from walking into a studio with a fast prime, knowing exactly what you want the image to look like, and then watching the exposure spiral out of control the moment you open up the aperture.
