The Brenizer method is the brainchild of renowned wedding photographer Ryan Brenizer. It’s sometimes referred to as the bokeh panorama, owing to the wide frame and supershallow depth of field that characterizes the style of these images.
Bokeh panoramas boast shallower depths of field than are achievable with a wide-angle lens, and give APS-C and full-frame users the ability to produce portraits with a large-format aesthetic. The key to this technique is to use a fast telephoto lens to achieve the characteristic portrait depth of field, and constant camera settings that won’t change between frames to create a seamless blend.
