After walking out from the classroom I heard Luke singing across the campus. I quickly dropped by and asked him if I can take a picture of him. To achieve the shallow depth of field you will need to set a large aperture number.  Aperture is the size of the opening through which light travels.

The larger the aperture the more shallow the depth of field will be.

For example

picture taken at f/32

picture taken at f/5.6
