soft focus
Hazy glamour technique
Soft focus is a photographic or cinematic technique where the image is slightly blurred, creating a dreamy, romantic, or flattering effect.
It smooths harsh details and diffuses light: The portrait was shot in soft focus.
Figuratively, soft focus describes vague or deliberately undetailed treatment of a subject: The documentary took a soft-focus approach to the scandal.
