A PHOTO A WEEK CHALLENGE: SOFT FOCUS
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR THREE…) THAT HAVE A SOFTER FOCUS, WHETHER ACCOMPLISHED NATURALLY OR THROUGH POST-PROCESSING.
Confession time. All my portraits of people over “a certain age” are soft focus. Closeups and perfect focus are for the young, teenagers with tight, flawless skin. For everyone else, a little kindness, a bit of glamour glow, a gently de-focused 90 mm lens.
All three of these were done with a bit of glow and in soft focus. I also am careful about lighting (shady or overcast). I also try to use one of my portrait lenses which tend to produce the most flattering portraits.

You sure have a talent for that. You know your subjects well and they, obiviously, trust you will capture them in the moment.
