Soft focus

Soft focus is a photographic technique where the image appears slightly blurred or dreamy, reducing sharpness to create a gentle, flattering look. It minimizes fine details and imperfections, often used to evoke romantic, nostalgic, or ethereal moods. This effect can be achieved through specialized lenses, filters, or post-processing, and is commonly employed in portrait photography to soften skin tones, or in artistic images to convey a sense of serenity. Overall, soft focus enhances the aesthetic by emphasizing mood over precise detail.
