Brilliant Bokeh Photography

Bokeh photography is all about depth of field and creating individual blurred circles (or various shapes) with a small F number. Bokeh is a Japanese word meaning ‘Blur’, but photography has adapted this meaning to be the aesthetic quality of blurred points of light. The most effective light sources for creating Bokeh is Fairy Lights or candles, basically any small light source. Bokeh can enhance a plain blurred background in a photo, while being a key feature to the overall picture, and it can be fun to experiment with the different shapes and colours!
