Teach you how to grasp the theme.

First, how to grasp the shooting points of big scenes

How to photograph a graduation ceremony or a building, a tree or other objects?

Look up at the shooting angle

Black and white film or color film, banner or vertical film to represent the main body, head-up shooting or head-up shooting? As long as the photographer can conceive the way of shooting, he will certainly be able to shoot in this way. Therefore, there are indeed many ways to shoot. As shown in the graduation and award ceremony of the United States Naval Academy on the previous page, the photographer photographed this grand occasion by looking up, vividly showing the image of the upcoming naval officers, and their caps thrown into the sky are a symbol of their graduation.

Second, how to express the sense of integration of props

A sense of integration between photographer and camera

The photo shows the sense of integration between the photographer and the camera. The black shadow isolates the trivial shooting part and emphasizes the most important part of the picture. Farninger? He said: "to shoot excellent works, photographers need to be interested in the subjects;" If you shoot without interest, it will only make photography tend to be dull. "

Thirdly, color tones give vitality to landscape works.

AnselAdams is recognized as a master of taking large-scale landscape photos. The photos he took with grand vision can make us unconsciously enhance our romantic imagination of nature. Adams is an expert in photography, and his photos are full of vitality. No book can express this sense of tone from the original photos (from the glowing clouds in the photos to the details through the dark shades). This photo shows everything we can imagine according to the real scene. Perhaps some people who see the above picture have a deeper feeling than those who have seen the real photos.

Fourth, the dynamic effect in weak light

Dynamic effect in weak light

A main light source was used when shooting, and the other side was filled with a reflective umbrella. The flash of flash and spotlight combine to produce a dynamic effect. This photo was taken in the late afternoon, the flash was triggered, the shutter opened and closed for more than 1/30s, and the photographer used his camera to track the athletes in parallel. The use of flash can make the athletes in the photo sharp, while the moving camera can make the scene light have a trailing effect. Some flashlights have Hou Lian synchronization function, so that the flash can be triggered just before the shutter closes, not when the shutter opens. From the blur of the scene light to the sharpness of the flash, the photo has a dynamic effect.

Five, the light source in portrait photography

Scattered light is combined with direct light.

Directional scattered light combines the characteristics of direct light. There are visible shadows in the picture, but they are not as obvious as those formed by direct light. Jacoby took this indoor photo while Einstein was working for Life magazine. The main light source comes from a huge window on the right side of the picture, and another window behind the photographer allows the shadow part to get light.

Sixth, lighting presents emotional characteristics.

Lighting presents emotional characteristics.

Lighting can also affect the emotional characteristics of photos. The photos in the picture below reflect the emotional characteristics of different lights (just change the position of the lights), and each light can show all aspects of personality (true or false).

The huge soft box on the left side of the camera emits directional, uniform and soft light. The shadow of the soft mask gradually disappears, leaving no obvious boundary, just like the shadow of the nose in the picture.

Seven, capture expressions and gestures

A photographer of the American Agricultural Safety Management Committee recorded the Great Depression in 1930s, when the whole American economic structure was in deep crisis. This is especially true for peasant families. Dorothea. Langer's works show her sympathy for the subject. She has a unique ability to reflect people's living conditions and inner feelings by capturing their expressions and gestures. The protagonist of this photo of her is 7? The mother of the child lives by picking beans. This photo became a masterpiece of the situation during the Great Depression in the 1930s.

War, disaster and social injustice have become unavoidable topics in news photography. The best reporting photography is more than just recording the event itself. These photos are labeled, which is a symbol of the times.

Eight, looking for inspiration from life

Soh has been looking for opportunities in a free state. When he drove past an unfamiliar neighbor's house, he found a big glass room on the roof. The host introduced himself and told him that this glass room was a "base" (where he and his daughter made model planes), so Soth took this photo.

Find inspiration from life

Every cat in the photo was made by the artist himself. Through this form, she hopes to break the old thinking of the concept of "cuteness" in our hearts, that is, domestic pets are cute. Because these kittens are dyed green, they occupy the whole scene, as if they have vitality (especially after nuclear radiation). This photo seems to say: "This is a victory for the animal world. We humans have controlled the world for too long. "

Nine, sophisticated equipment and late intentions

Before shooting, Skoglund usually spends several months carefully shaping the details of each device. Equipment and photos are their own final products. She believes that these two parts are interrelated and intertwined.
