The Brenizer Method Tutorial

[@VideoGamingSociety]

I've never heard of this method, and I've been shooting for like 5 years now. Really great video, thank you!

[@LucyS565]

This method kind of reminds me of focus stacking or focus bracketing. Great tutorial! As always, full of valuable information. Thank you Jay!

[@JayRegular]

kind of similar but not quite, with focus stacking, you are only changing the depth of field, but not actually expanding the area that the depth of field covers. The brenizer allows you to get close to a subject for a very nice shallow depth of field, but also allows you to show more of the out of focus background

[@LucyS565]

@@JayRegular Thanks for explaining that Jay!

[@rashikgmc9141]

Great video man! Loved the intro and edit, really clean & next level. I never heard of Brenizer Method before it seemed really interesting especially the way you showed it.

[@willstith1]

This was fantastic. I've heard of pros doing something like this in studio set ups. I'm psyched to try this out with the 100v and the teleconverter lens.

[@JayRegular]

Yeh in studio I would be very easy to nail. With the 50mm teleconverter it would work much better than 35!

[@FCW1875]

Such a great tutorial Jay. Always look forward to your vids.

[@JayRegular]

Cheers Mark!

[@timelapsescapes]

Fantastic video Jay.!!!

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Frank!

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

very nice method and well explained. thanks for sharing jay!

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Ryan!

[@AlexOnStreets]

Wow very cool. And wonderful explanation. I'll try this out next time I do landscapes.

[@JayRegular]

use a lens at f/0.95 on a full frame for some pretty thicc results ;)

[@franciscobranco8276]

Perfect tutorial. Thanks

[@JayRegular]

thanks Fransisco!

[@geo7geA]

Thanks Jay! Ill be trying this out. Please keep educating us :)

[@JayRegular]

Thanks George, I'll do my best 👍

[@SangTTran10111213]

Thank you for the tutorial 👍👍👍

[@sadmanshakib7646]

Hehehe I see your channel's picking up traction. I literally bought my Fujifilm gear like back in 2020 after seeing your film simulations video. Am looking forward to watching more content from you.

[@ivunchow]

Awesome intro man, nice and clean! Never heard of the Brenizer method before, learned something new today =]

[@JayRegular]

I imagine it would work really well with your sl2 paired with a nice 50mm

[@zeypth]

Thanks for the explanation it's easy to follow to do the trick with your video

[@JayRegular]

Cheers! glad you found this tutorial helpful

So I have to learn Photoshop then? I know how to use Lightroom, its just Photoshop seems a bit daunting in comparison. It looks like the distortion correction will be useful. I just figured out the brenizer method a few days ago and I'm trying to master it before I go out next time in the field.

[@JayRegular]

Photoshop can be daunting if you want to learn everything about it, but if you want to learn how to do one or two specific things in Photoshop, you only need to learn the relevant tools

[@thomasgoetze]

Great lesson. Thank you!

[@luiscarrillo1017]

I learned something today. Great video.

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Luis glad you got some use out of this

[@johnyjsl9219]

so it doesn't create more bokeh, it just puts more of the out-of-focus area into the frame.

[@JayRegular]

Yep, it's physically impossible to alter the aperture of the lens so bokeh can only be created/manipulated by keeping the subject further away from background elements.

[@ZainRiza]

🤯 Am I watching a TV show? Dude I tried the brenizer with X100V once but I chose a scene with too many vertical lines and the distortion completely fucked the photo merge haha. Glad to see that it actually is possible. Aaah that's where I must've gone wrong. I was pivoting the angle when I took the shots. Great tip.

[@JayRegular]

yeh even with longer focal lengths, you can't completely get rid of the distortion the only way to get around it is to use perpective shift to straighten it up. A couple minutes extra work instead of spending thousands to solve one problem is a win for me anyday though XD

[@lattelarry_3826]

Hey mate, love your videos. Do you ever print photos? Any chance you could do a video on that process?

[@JayRegular]

Hey thanks mate, no I've never printed my photos in large print, but thinking of doing one sometime next year, if I do I'll be sure to document my process 👍

[@Moemorca]

valeu!! obrigada

[@alanma3864]

Cool jay v informative!!!! I learnt and did this once but called it ‘bokeh panorama’ on film. Same idea. Great for low iso films to burn thru a roll.

[@JayRegular]

I highly wouldn't recommend doing this one film 😂

[@the4got10one]

all black fit tho , fireeeee

[@JayRegular]

🔥🔥🔥 all summer long 😂

[@mypixelstories5828]

Using lightroom is bit easier than PS as you don't have to cancel and import again and again for a less distorted image

[@towsikcr7526]

If I take total 9 photos with phone as a raw format and apply that tutorial in photoshop will it work? (I want to use the manual mode & set the shutter speed and iso fixed.)

[@JayRegular]

just make sure the FOV isnt too wide

[@paulm8157]

Were the component files JPG or raw? Can method be used to combine raw files in PS?

[@JayRegular]

I've never tried working with raw files within Photoshop, I usually do all my color correction/grading on raw files on a separate application then export out as jpeg into Photoshop to stitch together. The general idea is the smaller the file size/resolution the easier and faster it is for Photoshop to do it's thing

[@thomaschipman]

stamp visible (cmd+shift+option+e) seems like a quicker and easier route to achieve your duplicate

[@JayRegular]

Not a super hotkey guy, but any way to simplify the workflow is a good thing! thanks for the tip :)

[@firstMillo]

Hey Jay, apart from the method which is really cool, your presentation was brilliant! So well done in every aspect. Seems like a totally new format on your channel. Please continue :-)

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Kamil, I'm currently just experimenting and seeing what I'm capable of... One of these days I'll find something I can be consistent with 😁

[@firstMillo]

Sounds great! You only know what you are capable of if you try it out! Also looked like you had fun :-)

[@sclogse1]

Why not? I've done crazier things in P.S.
