Whether you are interested in photography or not, we all recognize what makes a beautiful photo stand out - bokeh. The ability to create bokeh in an image is visually pleasing to the eye. For argument's sake, bokeh does not make a great image but, bokeh sure makes it seem better. Just ask Japanese photographer, Takashi Kitajima, for instance.
He has managed to use bokeh in a different way to allow the eye to dance across the image towards the main subject of the photograph. His photos feature city life in Tokyo and New York City. There's a sense of surrealism and magic seen in these photos that remind me of looking through a kaleidoscope. As a viewer, I find his technique unusual but incredibly interesting.
Beautiful pictures:)

Bokeh certainly makes images better. I wish I could go back and re-do all my old outfit posts from before I had my great lens. These photos are stunning.

Wow. Great share. These photos looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think bokeh can be incredibly beautiful in certain photographs. I've managed it a few times myself and I love the feeling it adds to the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThese are neat! I think bokeh can be really overdone but these are just so fresh! Good call. =]
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so beautiful! I wonder how he gets that effect
ReplyDeleteWhoa, the way he used bokeh is incredible! I love how it leads to the main subject of his photos.
