Deep Depth Of Field Examples. One way that photographers can create a sense of depth in their images is by using a deep depth of field. This technique, typically used for landscape or architectural photos, blurs the foreground and background to give the viewer an idea that there is more than what meets the eye. Some of the most beautiful shots have used a shallow depth of field, as well as some of the most disturbing shots (still beautiful in their own way). You need to use subject matter, performance, lighting, color, and camera movement to help with the rest of the journey. SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD EXAMPLE: Depth of field, or often abbreviated as DoF, is arguably one of the defining characteristics of the medium of photography. We touched on depth of field photography in A Complete Guide to Aperture, mostly in relation to aperture's ability to creatively implement blur as a tool in isolating your subject. lUWAASW.
