500px - Agata Serge - The Bokeh Effect

​

What is the bokeh effect and how can you do it yourself? These questions will be answered in Agata Serge's first Class with 500px.
Known for her portrait and fashion photography, Agata walks you through how she uses bokeh to achieve soft, romantic portraits. First you'll learn the basics and where to shoot to get the best bokeh images. She compares harsh lighting and even lighting so that you can see the clear differences in asthetic. Next she'll walk you through the set up, what equipment you'll need, and what lighting situation to look for. And finally, she will show you how to use post production and color correction to touch up and bring out the best in your photos.
In the live session with Agata, she goes through the lenses she prefers to work with, why she likes them for bokeh, and how she interacts with her subject. She aims to get more than a portrait - she tries to convey a lot of emotion and connection with the subject so that it goes beyond a traditional image of a beautiful model. She goes through her creative process, what she looks for, and how she retouches in photoshop.
