vignetting
[ vษชหnษtษชล ]
photography technique
Vignetting is a photographic effect where the corners of an image are darker than the center. This effect can be either a technical flaw or an intentional artistic feature. It often draws attention to the central subject by limiting the viewer's focus to the brighter center. Vignetting can occur naturally due to lens limitations or be added digitally during post-processing. It is commonly used in portrait and landscape photography to enhance the overall aesthetic.
Synonyms
border dimming, shadowing.

Etymology
The term 'vignetting' originated from the French word 'vignette', which means a small illustration or portrait photograph that often fades into its background. The word itself is derived from the Latin 'vinea', meaning 'vineyard', referring to the decorative border that resembles grapevines. This decorative style became popular in the 19th century, primarily in literature and art. The association with photography began to take hold as photographers started to mimic the artistic qualities of vignette illustrations. By the late 19th century, vignetting was recognized in photography, both as a natural occurrence due to lens design limitations and as a desired effect in artistic compositions, helping to focus the viewer's attention.
