#Focus Stacking

Focus stacking is the unforgiving art of rescuing subjects sacrificed by shallow depth-of-field, mercilessly layering multiple shots at varying focal points. Rather than capturing a natural moment, it fabricates a posthumous all-in-focus scrapbook. The vanishing background blur in the composite resembles a veil hiding the artist's technical sins. The result may appear flawless, but behind the scenes both the photographer's patience and the storage drive weep.
