Photo Series

For my photo series I want to shoot portraits of my friends and family. I really would like to concentrate on the background... making it the focal point of the photos. Too often do we make judgements of people based off of the jobs that they are at. We automatically connect what people do at "a job" with their personality, hobbies, and intellect. I want to exaggerate this idea, by taking photos of people within their job astmopshere. I want to create a field of depth that will ultimately blur out the persons face (foreground), while keeping in crisp focus the surrounding of their job (background).
