"Photography has a great many rules and every once in a while, it is great to break all of them, don't you think? For me, the art of freelensing for creative photography is the permission to play with both light and blur to archive a totally unexpected and magical image. My first attempts at freelensing were just lucky shots among many more frustrated attempts. So, I gave up quickly."
"I gave freelensing another try and I have been addicted ever since. It is a perfect way to get those creative juices flowing and add a little diversity to your photography portfolio and client work. Plus, you don't really need any extra equipment to purchase or invest in other than what you already have in your camera bag. What is freelensing? Freelensing is a technique where the photographer shoots with the lens DETACHED from the camera body, creating a unique shot."
Freelensing involves detaching the lens from the camera body to create unique images by manipulating focus and introducing blur. The technique allows selective focus or wholly dreamy, out-of-focus frames and requires no extra equipment beyond a camera and lens. Beginners often get lucky shots but must persist to master exploration. For best results, set the widest aperture while the lens is attached, then switch to manual mode to control shutter speed and ISO after detaching. Some lenses will maintain aperture when detached, so checking specific camera and lens behavior is important before freelensing.
