    I just saw a YouTube video talking about the same thing this morning lol, I’ll take a pass at it inside the character in this style.

    I’m not a big fan of depth of field applied to film and photos far too often so I probably won’t do it to the background. For the character it makes a lot of sense and I see that when I do a realistic portrait of someone.

      You already have a depth of field “caused” by the contrast of value in your person and the lighter background. Far away objects are gets lighter too so that helps.

      Everything is a balance of effects and choices about how much you use them, if at all, and that’s how you develop your own style!

      Cheers
