Multiple choice

What is the technique of using a shallow depth of field to create a sense of isolation in an image called?

  1. Motion blur

  2. Panning

  3. Zooming

  4. Bokeh
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Bokeh is a technique used in photography to create a sense of isolation in an image by using a shallow depth of field. This is achieved by using a large aperture (small f-number), which blurs the background and draws attention to the subject in the foreground.
