What Is Bokeh?
Bokeh is the quality of the out-of-focus areas of an image.
In digital photography, the shape of the camera lens creates the white circles in the background.

Once you recognize it, you’ll start seeing the bokeh effect everywhere.
One example of bokeh photography is in portraits, where all but the subject is blurred out.
On a smartphone, depth of field and bokeh work differently.
The elements needed are processing power and the right software.
Some smartphones also have a dual-lens front-facing camera for artful selfies.
Options include AfterFocus, Bokeh Lens, and DOF Simulator.
Take some practice shots to perfect your technique, and you’ll be an expert in no time.
