Design and Style with Papernstitch: Beautiful Bokeh
If you remember this article I wrote about polaroid a couple weeks ago, than its probably no surprise to you that I am completely in love with photography.
As an amateur photographer myself, I am, like many others, drawn to creamy color, dreamy subjects, and gorgeous light when shooting. Which brings me to today’s topic of bokeh. If you are scratching your head wondering what this means, here’s a little more info…
Bokeh comes from the Japanese word meaning blur or fuzziness/ dizziness. It is the area or areas of a photo that are not in focus, and often appears as circles of light, like this…

Now, I am no expert here, so if you have more to share on the subject of bokeh in the comments, I am all ears. See you next week.
