I’m sure many of you have seen an image that use Bokeh. I honestly had no idea what it was called till now though. Bokeh is a term from the Japanese word “boke” which means to blur. In photography, we use the word Bokeh for parts of an image that may not be in focus.
The Bokeh can be easily created in many different shapes using just a sheet of black paperboard. You can find a tutorial on how to do so here.
Bokeh has a lovely graphical feel to the photo, creating a surreal, dreamlike feel to the image. It can also have a highly textual feel.
