The Blurred Background

Stephanie from San Jose, CA wanted that professional blurred background look.

Stephanie from San Jose, CA needed a professional headshot. She took it on her phone. The photo looked fine—except the background was sharp and distracting.

The Flat Background

I needed a professional headshot for my website but didn't want to pay for a studio. I took it on my phone but the background was sharp and distracting.

Stephanie wanted that professional look—where the subject is sharp and the background is beautifully blurred. That's how DSLR portraits look. Her phone couldn't do it.

Nobody knows I took it on my phone.

When I saw the version with the blurred background, it looked like it came from a professional DSLR shoot.
