You wonder how a photograph with focus of object in front or with focus of object at the back is done. How is it possible to take a photography appearimg to be like that?

Well, it was taken with expensive camera and expensive lens from some popular camera lenses manufacturers such as Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, etc?

You have probably tried to get really expensive camera setup to get the effects like that, this isn’t necessarily true, you probably don’t know that without expensive camera sets you also can do it.

Follow the Photoshop tutorials below:

Apply Lasso tool.

Create a layer copy of the image you applied in Lasso tool above by using Edit > Copy, Edit > Paste.

Click on the Background layer, select Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

Over here, you will be able to set the blur density according to your need by adjusting the Radius in pixels.

That’s how you do it.

You can then try yourself to either blur the object in front or the object at the back by applying the same Photoshop technique.
