Nancy Breslin is a Washington, DC based photographer who specializes in photographs taken with pinhole and plastic cameras. For some projects she works with alternative photographic processes or in video.

Chris Keeney Photography has been creating monthly features on pinhole photographers / artists from around the world since September of 2007. I like to feature artists that I feel celebrate the art of pinhole photography through their photos.

9 Easy Steps to Creating a Powerful and Emotional Effect:

By darkening the picture and using the dodge tools in the correct places you create a dramatic effect fro the picture.

Tip 1: Aperture Priority mode

•  50mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.2 lenses enable you to choose very large apertures for a shallow depth of field. This can help you create those creamy-smooth, out of focus backgrounds that give portraits a professional quality.Tip 2: High-key portraits
•  Over-expose a photo to create a ‘high-key’ effect results in a light and delicate look that can enhance feminine portraits and pictures of children.Tip 3: HDR landscape photos
• HDR photography essentially involves taking a number of photos at different exposures and then blending the best bits of each exposure into a single image.Tip 4: Black and white landscapes
• If you want to take great black and white landscape photos, shoot in colour. By using your digital camera’s raw picture quality setting rather than JPEG, you’ll record a colour image that you can convert to black and white later in photo editing software such as Lightroom or Photoshop.

Tip 5: Manual focus

• Switch off autofocus when you’re taking macro photos. Depth of field (DOF) can be measured in millimetres when you’re shooting close-up details, so accurate focusing is critical.

Tip 6: Candids

• Unplanned pictures

Tip 7:  Focus on the eyes

• While eye contact is not always desirable in a portrait, sharp eyes certainly are. Manually select an AF point that’s positioned over one of your model’s eyes, or use the central focus point to lock focus on their eye.

Tip 8: Posing group portraits

• When you’re arranging a group portrait, the first thing you’ll probably consider is height, putting taller people at the back and shorter people at the front.

Tip 9: Panning

• Panning is a technique where you move the camera and lens to follow a moving subject

Tip 10: Using forced perspective

• Force yourself to finding a camera angle that enables you to bring two unrelated and often quite distant objects into the same world.Think of a fountain in the background appearing to spring from a bottle in the foreground, or someone ‘leaning’ against an iconic landmark, such as Big Ben.
