By placing the foreground in focus and lightly blurring the background – a shallow depth of field, if you want to be technical about it – Portrait Mode performs a subtle alchemy that turns your subject into their best-ever self and you into Rankin.
The pretty extraordinary Pixel 3 camera makes it easier than ever to switch between modes. Portrait Mode works on both the back and front-facing cameras (a double twist of the wrist allows you to switch to selfie mode). Just swipe to Portrait, point and shoot – then, marvel at the results.
Whether you’re taking a quick snap at a wedding or photographing an item for sale, you’ll get a professional quality finish that exudes a certain radiance. This is how the best profile pictures are made.
