Is it a mastery of photography to shoot at a lower f stop? If there was only one way to shoot then there would be only one photographer, one model and one picture, and maybe only one viewer too. Wouldn't sell a lot of photos. I would have shot the girl on the desert road at f/22 because to me it would have emphasized the vastness of her surroundings and her peculiar and vulnerable situation - thumb out, dress pulled up to attract a ride. Harsh vegetation, sand and rock, inhospitable surroundings as far as the eye can see. Is that a rattlesnake in the shadow of a tumbleweed? In the "amateur" genre (more accurately known as pro-am) the viewer wants to see everything in sharp focus. He likes the realism of a "real" girl and everything in focus reproduces how he would see the girl if he were there. When I look at real homegrown photos I like to look in the background, see what book titles are on the shelf, is that her panties on the floor over in the corner, what does her wall art say about her, sheet over the window and no drapes or curtains? Is she a party girl? Girls are so messy! Look, you can see every detail of her pussy, every wrinkle in those lovely lips. The eyes are in sharp focus, you can see she is looking right at you and making contact.
I like the girl in the desert, shot wide open, it makes her stand out. But shot at f/22 would look great too. And if the paying client wants it at f/22 that is a real bonus.
