PRO TIP

If you are using these backgrounds with a photographic edit, I highly recommend making a copy of your background layer, adding a blur of choice to it to create bokeh, and then adding grain or noise to match the grain of your subject. This can quickly be done using Adobe Photoshop. Then it will look as if the subject were photographed in front of a painted background in the original capture.

Here are details from the collection.
