Focus
One of the important aspects of photography is focus. It is defiantly under appreciated in photographs. Focus has the ability to point what is the main part of the image. Focus can be determined by the aperture of the lens. So a wide aperture like 2.8 which most professional photographers use would really blow out the background whereas a smaller aperture like f/9 or f/16 there will be a smaller depth of field.

Ralph Eugene Meatyard
Eugene Meatyard is an American Photographer is well known for his photos where he is changing the depth of field of an image. In some images he simply makes the image completely Out-Of-Focus. He would of achieved this by making the focal length of the shutter very high, that way less light gets in, so the photo is going to be completely out-of-focus.
Saul Leiter
Leiter was an American Photographer who took photos that were based around Focus, however he took them in a different way. Leiter used natural objects likes windows [with condensation[ to break up the outline of the background.
