Style of Photography: Bokeh/Shallow Depth of Field

3 Examples:

2. Untitled by carlos buenos (flickr , no website)

3. Untitled by Minato (flickr , no website)

Lens: 55mm

3 Rules of Composition: 

1. Shallow Depth of Field
Accomplished by increasing the 'f' number, which will consequently increase the depth of field. 

2. Golden Ratio (a.k.a Rule of Thirds)

Accomplished by aligning the main subject within the perimeters of the golden ratio areas (roughly a 1:1.618 ratio per area.)

3. Viewpoint

Accomplished by using a unique perspective, usually thought-out beforehand (example: bird's-eye view versus close-up.)
