Bokeh
The soft, out-of-focus quality of blurred lights in a photo, from the Japanese word boke. Fast lenses and wide apertures made it a prized look in 2010s portrait and night photography.

Why it happens
Out-of-focus point lights are rendered as discs shaped by the lens aperture, and a wide aperture gives a shallow depth of field that blurs distant areas.

Image edit prompt“Restyle this image with a shallow-depth-of-field bokeh look: keep the main subject sharp, turn the background into a creamy blur filled with large soft glowing circular light orbs in warm gold and white, with slightly brighter edges on each disc. Lens like an 85mm at f/1.4. Keep the original subject and composition.”
