How to Focus on Multiple Subjects in ONE Photo Focus on multiple subjects in photography!

How to bring multiple subjects into focus in a single photo is like the holy grail of portrait photography and it's rarely accomplished because of all the elements that MUST come together. Focusing on more than one subject in photography, while keeping a reasonably low f-number and having a blurred background, seems to be even less common, but it's definitely doable – you just need to know the theory! Add in a pair of dogs for canine photography and we're basically at magician level.

Today we are using 2 dogs, Alfie, 6 years old, and Bryt, 6 months old, as multiple subjects to demonstrate the theory of putting more than one subject into action. The theory combines knowledge of depth of field with knowledge of distance with knowledge of aperture and normal dog photography and portrait photography skills to arrive here – with two dogs, sharply focused, in a single image WITH a blurred background. Shut up!
