Whether you’re looking to create creamy backgrounds for portraits or isolate a single petal in a macro shot, understanding how to control your focus is essential. We are thrilled to have Sharon lead this online session, where she will break down the technical side of aperture and the creative side of storytelling through selective focus.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• The Physics of Focus: How aperture, focal length, and distance work together.

• Gear & Settings: Getting the most out of your lenses.

• Creative Isolation: When (and why) to go shallow.

• Troubleshooting: Avoiding the “missed focus” trap.

Grab your favourite beverage, settle in at your computer, and get ready to sharpen your skills by learning how to soften your backgrounds.
