There was a point in time when people wanted this because it looked professional, but now bokeh is a dime a dozen.
I think these days people want it because it isolates a subject without them having to do work in thinking of a good composition that isolates the subject with other techniques (e.g. contrast, color, and so on).
- Auracle 5y agoIt’s not always about work. When I’m shooting weddings f/1.4 is a staple because unless it’s the portrait portion of the day I have no control over the background, apart from my own positioning. The room the girls get ready in is always a disaster, for instance.
