What is the theme in photography?

It is a popular fashion to shoot portraits in modern high-end photo studios. It was formed in about 2006. From the root point of view, it originated from the solo album or photo album launched by entertainment stars for self-hype. Modern large-scale photo studios should take advantage of the opportunity to commercialize this kind of album and album created for individuals, and the first one to apply it to practice should belong to the wedding photography industry.

Thematic photography corresponds to non-thematic photography. Traditional wedding photography has no theme, monotonous shooting techniques and simple scene layout. The shooting process is not very particular. Just put a few fixed poses and press the shutter. Post-production is just a simple portrait processing, which does not reflect the special features of this group of photos. It's different from taking photos of ordinary life, just wearing different clothes.

This is a picture without a theme. Of course, this is unacceptable for a couple who are about to get married, so a very popular theme photo was born.

It usually takes a whole day to take such a theme photo, and the post-production and the release of the finished photo album will last for about a month. It can really be said that it is tailor-made and only belongs to your own personality. Because it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the cost of theme shooting is also quite expensive, but once-in-a-lifetime young people are also in an endless stream.

At present, most well-known large-scale wedding photo studios have a series of their own theme photos, and even some photo studios have introduced film plot shooting techniques, showing different styles of romantic plots, which has aroused a new photography trend.

If the above description is not clear enough, it can be understood that thematic photography is a kind of "propositional composition", which determines the use of clothing, props, lighting, background ... according to a specific theme to achieve a propositional film effect.

Of course, most studios take photos first or have a general idea before, and then give it a proper name after the photos come out. This is the difference between thematic photography and non-thematic photography.
