Bokeh (Design)

Bokeh refers to the aesthetic quality of blurry areas in a photograph, created by the way a camera lens renders out-of-focus points of light. It emphasizes depth and draws attention to the main subject by softly blurring the background or foreground. The shape and quality of bokeh are influenced by the lens design and aperture shape, often producing smooth, rounded blurs or interesting patterns. Essentially, bokeh enhances visual appeal and mood in images by artistically managing how light and focus interact, contributing to a sense of depth and atmosphere.
