The expression, ‘Bokeh,’ was assimilated into photographic lingo from the Japanese ‘Boke’ – which means blur or haze.

Bokeh refers to the optical effect that photographers create when the camera renders an out-of-focus background through the lens.

The out-of-focus parts then appear less sharp than the rest of the picture.

The resulting contrast helps you to eliminate distractions and direct the viewer’s eyes towards the object of attraction.

Check out this fantastic article about how to achieve this effect in your own photography!

And make sure you get out there and practice, play and experiment with your own camera. Go on, get going!
