About Bokeh: Smooth & Silky
There are so many photographs with Bokeh hidden in our everyday lifes.
But we don’t recognize them.
and even when we do recognize them, we tend to unconsciously reset our
minds and forget what we’ve seen.
But we believe that Bokeh is what makes our photographs so
interesting, so rich.
That’s why we want to reconstitute the everyday by collecting and
reshaping Bokeh into something that’s easy to understand.
We’d like the people who’ve come upon Bokeh: Smooth & Silky to feel these
small “Bokeh moments” intuitively.
That’s our job.
