Close Ups low Depth of Field

Samples of close-ups with a low depth of field allowing the background to blur (can be achieved in focus filters editing, too). Helps the subject pop and the background provides a contemplative environment. Note contrast of values between subject and background (also helps to isolate the subject). Typically more poetic and interpretive in black and white.
