Protect Privacy in Every Shot

Blurring isn't just for privacy; it's a powerful artistic tool. By selectively blurring faces in the background, you can draw the viewer’s attention to the main subject of your photo, creating a beautiful depth of field effect. This technique can add a layer of mystery or universality to your images, allowing them to tell a story without revealing specific identities. Transform a busy crowd shot into a compelling piece of art where the focus is exactly where you want it.
