A Photographer’s Guide to Artistic Bokeh

A Photographer’s Guide to Artistic Bokeh The most interesting and effective photographs tend to be those with a center of interest that contrasts strongly with the background; and when that background is soft out-of-focus, we identify them as aesthetic, especially by the quality of its blur. It is the bokeh that makes the background blur and pleasing. Nevertheless, bokeh isn’t just about having expensive lenses and shooting wide open or picking a background with small light sources far away, it is in fact about how creatively we draw attention to the main subject, keeping it sharp and at the same time making the background get blurred aesthetically and less distracting. Capturing bokeh creatively needs step-by-step guidance and practice, and this is what this guide is all about.

A Guide to Making Your Readers Read As writers, our goal is to set the tone for our readers, and it is the opening sentence, or the first paragraph or two that hook the readers. In theory, we call it a lede, which is the fine piece of writing that opens the door into the rest of your story. It is about how you make your readers read, introduce them to the subject and then establish the direction in a dramatic, comedic, or a serious manner. This guide is all about writing lede, how we can write it and make it a fine piece.
