The DSLR portrait look

DSLR Portrait re-renders your photo as if it was taken with a full-frame camera and an 85mm f/1.4 portrait lens: a creamy blurred background with round bokeh, soft light and crisp focus on your eyes. Your pose, outfit and face stay as they are.

DSLR Portrait: 85mm lens, creamy bokeh. DSLR Portrait is the AI take on a classic portrait setup. The recipe asks for the look of a full-frame DSLR with an 85mm f/1.4 lens: the background melts into a soft, creamy blur with round bokeh, the light becomes soft window light or gentle studio light, and the focus lands crisply on your eyes. It keeps natural skin texture with no smoothing, leaves your pose, framing, age and outfit unchanged, and holds on to your face, identity, skin tone, body shape and expression. Want to keep every pixel of your photo and only blur what's behind you? The free DSLR '12 effect does that on your device.

What you get

  • A creamy, softly blurred background with round bokeh
  • Soft window light or gentle studio light
  • Crisp focus on your eyes, with natural skin texture
  • The same pose, framing and outfit

FAQ

DSLR Portrait questions

Can I try DSLR Portrait now?

Not yet: DSLR Portrait arrives with the next update of Aybuke. This page describes the look as it works in that version.

Is the DSLR Portrait look free?

Yes, on the free plan: DSLR Portrait uses 1 of the 2 free AI credits you get every day. Pro gives you 80 credits a month instead, plus our best-quality AI, every look, no watermark and no ads.

Will it still look like me?

That's the idea. The DSLR Portrait recipe tells the AI to keep your face, skin tone, body shape and expression as they are, and an on-device likeness check runs on the result. If it doesn't look like you, tap Retry free.

What's the difference between DSLR Portrait and DSLR '12?

DSLR Portrait is an AI look: it re-renders the whole photo with the light and blur of an 85mm lens, for 1 credit. DSLR '12 is a free retro effect that runs on your device: it finds you, blurs only what's behind you with a real lens blur and round bokeh, adds a DSLR color grade and lets you pick an 85, 50 or 35 mm lens.

Does it smooth my skin?

No. The recipe asks for natural skin texture with no smoothing, and keeps your face, skin tone and expression as they are.
