(Overly) sharp images are now a dime a dozen. Lens designs are squeezed for every last ounce of sharpness, and where that's not enough, AI filters — especially on smartphones — intervene during the storage process.
It's time for a soft revolution. Not only to stand out from the endless flood of identical images, but also to create more flattering and dreamy images again.
Soft-focus images should not be confused with blurred images. They are not blurred, (intentionally or accidentally) incorrectly focused images, but sharp images with a layer of blur superimposed on them. That's why they don't look “flawed,” but dreamy and romantic.
