bokeh

Bokeh is a technique in which the main central subject of the picture (usually whatever is closest to the camera) is in focus, while the rest of the picture is blurred and out of focus. I really like the way that this technique looks, and is especially helpful for putting the focus on the main element of the picture.

contrast

Adding a high level of contrast to a picture is a very commonly used technique which highly emphasizes and contrasts the colors in a photo. This helps to make the picture bolder and the colors stronger, or in black in white photos helps emphasize the differences between light and dark.

unique perspective

Unique perspective is the technique of taking photographs from unusual angles and places, which changes the levels of focus and often leads to a cool effect.
