Shallow Depth of Field

SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD — shot at f/1.2, only the subject's face is razor sharp. Cherry blossoms in foreground blur into soft pink shapes. Pagoda in background melts into beautiful creamy bokeh. Extreme subject isolation.

When to use

To isolate the subject from a busy background — portraits, product, anything that needs single-element focus.

Pro tips

  • Say "shallow depth of field, f/1.4 aperture, blurred background"
  • Add "subject tack sharp, eyes in focus"
  • Specify lens: "85mm portrait lens compression"
