How to get a blurry background

Photograher : Danny Graham

Three ways

• Shoot wide open on your aperture

• Use a longer focal length

• Bring the subject closer to the lens

• (optional: fake it in post!)

Using these 3 methods you can get a shallow depth of field and make your back ground blurry. You can also use these methods to do the Brenizer Method which involves sticking multiple photos together like a panorama to create the illusion of a shallow depth of field on a wide shot.
