to put it simply, to get a nice depth of field you need to shoot with a nice wide aperture. which lens are you planning on using?

Its a basic tutorial but hopefully should remind you of the basics again

shoot at 50mm+ and low aperture and bobs your uncle

although be careful when using low f number as you'll have to up the shutter speed to compensate which if your using flashes can be a pain with sync speeds and shizz.
