We see them everywhere, in Magazines, on the Run Way, in advertisements on TV. They are the slender women strutting their stuff or extra ordinary Beauties with their sultry looks flashing their pearly whites while wearing the newest Styles from the hottest Designers. We are talking about the fashion models of today, yesterday and tomorrow. They are everywhere we look, but who brings them to us? Their images are captures with care and precision, patience and that special look for style, color and lighting composition. I am talking about the fashion photographers.

1. Blurring the Background
The best Wildlife photography will always show a crystal-clear animal against a blurry background. This is
done by using just the right combination of lens, aperture, and shutter speed, and really helps to make the
subject stand out. If a background of branches and leaves were as sharply focused as the bird in the
foreground, it would be very easy to lose the bird in the background “noise.”
You can use photo editing techniques to achieve the same effect.
Load your picture into your favorite photo editing program. Using a selection tool like a “Lasso,” select the
foreground image, the “animal” that has to be set off from the “leaves and branches.” Once it’s selected,
“Invert” the selection. Most photo editing programs have this option. In effect, it means “swap the selected
areas for the unselected ones.” By inverting, you’ll select only the background of your image. If your
program has the feature, you might also consider Feathering your selection. This helps to break up the
outline of the selection, so that it doesn’t have such a sharp edge to it.
Once the background is highlighted, use a tool called Gaussian Blur. This is a specific type of blurring
routine designed to imitate the blurring that happens in traditional photography. Don’t be afraid to
experiment with the settings, but remember that a little bit of blur–leaving the background out of focus, but
recognizable–is better than a lot.
A related photo technique is called Panning. Focus on a moving object, like a race car, and keep the camera
pointed at that object as it goes by. Done properly, the race car will be in focus, while the crowd behind it
will be blurred. This kind of blur is called Motion blur, or sometimes Radial blur. Using Radial instead of
Gaussian will make your subject appear to be racing past the background.
