This isn't a new idea, and that's why I love it. It's a reminder of a lesson I learned a long time ago and had forgotten. When I look at my mother's old photo albums it's filled with photos like this. It shows not only "who" but "where" a subject is. In her photos it's family, fun moments, smiles and memories. I wanna bring this back to my own photography. Thank you Sean for re-teaching me this important lesson and for bringing it to the forfront of new and experienced photographers minds.

Thanks, Akila. Good luck out there shooting! 📸

I suddenly realized I've been guilty of being a slave to the "features of expensive lenses", where I over use wide aperture. I see now that I've been "missing the point" of what I was trying to capture in my photos, by excluding the environment around and behind my subject. I was unaware that by thinking this way, I was removing key elements of the "story" I was trying to tell. ... Your video is a wakeup call to me, which I needed. Thanks!

I think many photographers get seduced by that creamy bokeh that comes with the expensive lenses, Rex! But you're right, if you want to tell someone's story, you need to think about those other elements in the frame. Good luck with your "new" style of environmental portraits ✊

I really enjoyed your lesson. Thank you!
