Bokeh is a key element in expressive photography, helping to highlight the subject or create a soft, dreamy effect. The large F1.8 aperture allows for beautiful defocus, making the subject stand out more than with a kit lens. This shallow depth of field effectively isolates the subject from the background, drawing the viewer's attention to the focal point of the image. Photographers often use this technique to add depth and artistic quality to portraits, macro shots, and even product photography, elevating the overall visual impact of their work.
