The Bokeh effect is a camera technique that blurs much of your images background but keeps the subject in focus.
Try creating the effect using two different techniques.
Technique 1 - Camera Settings

Technique 2: Photoshop
Load an image into photoshop that has a subject in the foreground.
Right click on your layer with the image and click "Duplicate"
Select the new layer and select "Blur Gallery - Field Blur" from the "Filter Menu".
Adjust the blur settings until your image is blurry, but still recognizeable.
Add a "layer mask" to your blurred layer and then use a black brush to paint over the subject and remove the blur.
Use different shades of grey and different brush sizes to isolate your subjects details.
