Ready for another fun photography challenge to refill your creative juices and improve your skills? For the 11th week of their 52-week Photo Challenge, the folks of SlickPic placed the spotlight on Bokeh.

In this challenge, your task is to use the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas of an image. With bokeh, you can transform the background into a soft, visually pleasing backdrop that highlights the main subject. Use a wide aperture to create a shallow depth of field and position your subject so that the background effectively showcases your clever use of bokeh.

This challenge is a great opportunity to push your creativity to new heights. Let your attention to detail, creativity and composition prowess shine in this challenge! Whether it’s something you’ve already learned or a technique you want to perfect, this is surely a great activity for you!
