Sometimes I think I'm cocked in the head because I still completely fail to see any point at all in bokeh images. It's rather like phone manufacturers dedicating hardware and bleeding edge software to the production of fish-eye images.
- michaelt 7y agoA keen photographer would point you to an image like [1] as bokeh removing 'clutter' and 'distraction'. Cues you would get from depth perception seeing the same thing in person. Like so many things in art, these are all subjective judgements and a matter of taste. If you want a more objective reason, crisp-subject-blurred background is associated with high quality because it's what professional portrait photographs often look like [2] It's not the be all and end all of photography, of course - few people would want their selfie with the Eiffel tower to blur out the Eiffel tower!
