Bokeh Photography

What Does Bokeh Mean?

Bokeh is defined as “the effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject, using a fast lens, at the widest aperture, such as f/2.8 or wider.” Simply put, bokeh is the pleasing or aesthetic quality of out-of-focus blur in a photograph.

Bokeh Photography tips

1. Fast aperture is best (at least f/2.8)

2. Use fast prime lenses

3. Long focal length creates more extreme bokeh

4. Shoot lenses wide open

5. Increase distance between subject and background

6. Move closer to your subject

7. Take close-up portraits and macro images in nature

8. Use a backlight, side light, or hair light

The reason why it is so popular, is because Bokeh makes photographs visually appealing, forcing us to focus our attention on a particular area of the image. The word comes from Japanese language, which literally translates as “blur”.🌺

Bokeh Photography on Smartphones

On a smartphone, depth of field and bokeh work differently. The elements needed are processing power and the right software. The smartphone camera needs to recognize the foreground and background of a photo, and then blur only the background. A smartphone with a dual-lens camera will shoot two pictures at once and then combine them to get that depth-of-field and bokeh effect. 

 If you phone doesn’t offer a bokeh effect, though, give the following apps a try:

1. Afterfocus

2. Bokeh lens

3. Potrait blur

4. Real bokeh light effects

5. Bokeh simulator
