Bokeh Bokeh is an adaptation from a a Japanese word meaning blur. In photography this term is used to describe the quality of the areas in the picture which are not in focus. Bokeh, also known as “Boke” is one of the most popular subjects in photography. This is because Bokeh makes photographs more visually appealing, forcing us to focus our attention on a particular area of the image rather than the whole image itself. When creating my bokeh images I used coloured lights that changed colour depending on what setting i chose. These hooked onto two stands and was placed on a table which was what the candles were placed on. The table needed to be far away from the lights so the Bokeh was more effective and focased on the subject, bluring the lights in the backgound. I enjoyed this shoot because I think the perfume bottles with the different coloured lights behind giving the effect of them shining through worked well. In perticular my favorite image was the clear perfume bottle with the red bokeh lighting behind in the shape of hearts. I experemented with lense stencils in this particular image as well as others changing the shape of the stensil that allowed the light to take the form of itself. As well as experimenting with lighting i also tried to use different objects such as a figurenes as well as the glass perfume bottles, changing the compositions in order to create different effects. To improve this shoot next time I could look at taking an image through a window which was wet so you would have the water droplets changing colour as well as the bokeh effect in the background of the image. camera setting: incandescent iso:800 shutter speed: 1/60 aperture: 5.6
