The depth phone cameras fake badly
True shallow-depth bokeh — soft, round, naturally graduated light circles — renders without the cutout-edge artifacts of portrait-mode software blur.
Any light source, any mood
City lights, fairy lights, candlelight — name the source and the bokeh shape and color temperature follow it accurately.
A proven look for romance and product shots
The dreamy, soft-focus background is a reliable choice for wedding-adjacent art, product close-ups and greeting card imagery.
The old way vs. with AI
The output is the same — professional visuals. The difference is what it costs you to get there.
