Feedback

How we love a background brimming with colourful, sparkly bokeh! These bubbles of light create a beautiful effect and add interest and life to a soft, out of focus background.

Bokeh stems from a Japanese word translating to ‘blur’, and refers to the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus or blurry area of a photo, often in the background, but also possible in the foreground. Out-of-focus pinpoints of light, or specular highlights in the background, create the most obvious bokeh, as they are converted into well-defined, bright circles of light.

This is the penultimate challenge in Emerge and we are here to celebrate all that delicious, sparkly light.

Challenge Brief

Create a well-lit pet photo with bokeh present in the out-of-focus areas of the image. The bokeh must be distinct and can be natural or artificial in origin.
