background blur
Soft behind subject
Background blur is the soft, out-of-focus quality behind a sharply focused subject in photography or video.
It occurs naturally when shooting with a wide aperture, isolating the subject from distracting surroundings.
Digital devices now simulate this effect: The portrait mode adds background blur to make you stand out.
Also called bokeh when referring to the aesthetic quality of the blur itself.
