How does Xiaohongshu avoid the pit? No longer be "cheated"

Hello everyone ~ Good morning everyone!

Let me ask you a question first. Have you been cheated by Little Red Book's "photo cheating"?

Maybe you will think of the "Cheongwadae" photo forgery incident some time ago. It is like a fuse. After being ignited, many people have released similar experiences.

I stepped on the thunder myself. The reason why I was cheated was because I didn't do too much raiders and preparation, and blindly believed the notes shared by bloggers. Later, I will also think: Why can't I take beautiful photos like others?

So here are some suggestions for everyone, in order to prevent the reduction of the number of subsequent scams. In addition, I also need to improve my ability to distinguish between true and false photos and my photography skills ~

1/.

Don't rely too much on the little red book.

Everyone has a love of beauty, and everyone yearns for a better life. Taking tourism as an example, we can see more people and scenery from the perspective of bloggers.

However, excessive late-stage and exaggerated decoration will make a place in China into a small Kamakura and a small Switzerland ... to rely on foreign scenery, but it is not necessary. China itself is beautiful.

Secondly, tourist destination and photography scenic spot are two completely different concepts. If you go to see a movie, you will feel the difference between the internet and reality again and again, and you will be disappointed.

Improve photography aesthetics

We all like to see beautiful things, which is why young people love to brush little red books. But in order to prevent being cheated, we still need to improve the aesthetics of photography and the cognition of pictures.

①

First, you can watch a documentary. Because documentaries are good at pursuing truth and exploring mysteries, we can make an objective judgment on the photos by watching more cameras in them and then looking back at the little red book.

If you like to see the scenery, you might as well take a look at the aerial photography of China, the scenery of the roof of the world and time ... This will let you know that some places are really as beautiful as heaven and really feel that kind of beauty.

Or if you like food very much, and want to travel and see local food, you can go to "Flavor World" and "Street Taste: Asia" ... The regional culture hidden behind each food will make you yearn for it.

In addition, watching documentaries is also very helpful to improve the understanding and understanding of photography, such as Salt of the Earth and Looking for vivian maier ... The camera lens immersed in it is simply a visual feast ~

Compared with some little red books, we should look at less photos and more excellent works to broaden our horizons.

②

Besides watching documentaries, you can also watch photos. The most convenient thing is that we have "aesthetic notes" every week, which helps to improve everyone's photography aesthetics. Click the link to jump to the aesthetic notes set. "Link"

Whether reading aesthetic notes or photography websites, you should learn to collect photos at the same time. Create a new folder in the mobile phone photo album, and collect 10 favorite photos regularly every day and save them in the folder.

After a week or even a month, you will find that the quality of the photos has changed, and so has your aesthetic feeling.

Everyone's aesthetics are different at each stage, and the process of collection needs to be adhered to. Subsequent photos can also be classified to distinguish which ones are post-synthesized, so it is not easy to be "cheated".

Learn to use photography skills

In the "derailment" experience that Xiaohongshu encountered, some netizens also suggested that "instead of breaking the filter like a detective, it is better to learn from these bloggers who have a pair of eyes to discover beauty?"

Proper retouching and filtering are the ways to present beauty, but excessive beautification and false marketing will be offensive. Truth is more important than marketing, and recording life is more important than pleasing others.

In addition, everyone wants to take good-looking photos, and they really need to be good at discovering beautiful things and using some photography skills.

Looking for parts

For example, the beautiful picture you see is like this:

Chocolate cake

Go to the scene and find it like this:

Duoduo oh

I thought it was a large-scale lottery, but I didn't expect it to be just a photo punching point in the community. But we can make a film by local shooting in view of its "smallness".

Local close-up is also a kind of subtraction photography, which uses the telephoto lens of mobile phone to make the picture more concise and the visual sense will be advanced.

The output of a good-looking photo also depends on the weather and light. Like the picture below, we can shoot the walls and stairs from the perspective of a super wide-angle lens, showing the tension of the picture and forming a color contrast with the sky. Isn't it beautiful ~

Or use a window frame to frame a part of the scene, which can highlight the main body and enhance the story of our photos.

②

Look for potential customers

So if you plant grass at a punch point, how can you make the photos more vivid and interesting?

We might as well try foreground composition, for example, making a flower sea, centering buildings or people, and then using flowers and plants as the foreground to create a sense of visual space and increase the level of the picture.

You can also use the "flowing water" mode of the mobile phone to make the flowers appear dynamic and fuzzy, adding more vitality to the plain scene, but you need to stabilize the mobile phone and keep the main body of the picture clear.

Secondly, make a circle with pages and put them in front of the camera to form a foreground composition, which can better highlight the main body. This creative punch card photo is too porridge!

③

Find the guide line

In addition, we should be good at finding lines in our life and know how to compose with lines, such as roads, tunnels and other elements, which can extend the visual focus to the distance and expand the sense of space in the picture.

In some places with rotating stairs, we can turn on the ultra-wide-angle mobile phone, shoot down by using the ultra-wide-angle perspective effect, lead the lines of the stairs to the main body, and enhance the depth of the picture, so that your photos will be different ~

④

Find duplicate elements

We can also observe the recurring structural elements in life, such as buildings, large areas of flowers, green plants and so on. Although they look exactly the same or similar, they can produce the best visual effect.

Repeated composition can highlight the formal beauty of the picture, like an umbrella in the picture, forming a certain rhythm and making the photo fresh.

@ Dai Zhicheng

Instead of trying to accept the beauty in the eyes of others, it is better to find the beauty that you think. This is a test of our usual observation and a process of cultivating our own photographic eyes.

Ok ~ share it with more friends around you. Let's avoid the pit and take the photos we want!
