You just take shit pictures. Low angles, sometimes LOWER than the cat, plus bokeh [portrait mode on a phone]. Pay attention to your background and composure.
In each picture on top the lens is the same level or lower as the cats eyes.
en, your mileage may vary on portrait mode. fur is what is struggles the most with. personally I’d go for getting close and letting the natural depth of field shine through for what it’s worth. most phones are at like an f:/2.8. they can have natural bokeh, they’re just ultra wide angle so you gotta get close.
it may just be me, but those wonky edges make it look worse than if it just didn’t have the effect at all.
You’re totally right. I try and push it so that the portrait process is just enhancing the already there lens bokeh. But when I really want it to look right I just get the Alpha.

Depth of field is also playing a huge role in the stock “nice” images.
It’s funnier to take bad pictures tho. Why else would I have a cat?
It can also be difficult to take a photo of a moving cat. Some cats don’t stay still long enough to get a decent shot.
