What does the tension in the photo mean?

Tension in photos refers to the tense, depressed or exciting emotions and atmosphere produced in the image. For example, in a black and white photo, the clear contrast and regularity of light and dark of the subject will give the photo stronger tension, thus enhancing its visual impact.

In addition to the visual tension produced by color and contrast between light and dark, the composition of the photo will also affect the output of tension. For symmetrical compositions, you can create a balanced and static atmosphere, while asymmetrical compositions will enhance the tension in the photo, creating a sense of vitality and movement.

The characters in the photos also convey varying degrees of tension. For example, a smiling face will convey a relaxed and joyful feeling, while a nervous posture will enhance the sense of urgency and heart-wrenching in the photo. When photographing people, adjust their expressions and movements according to the theme and atmosphere to create more intense photos.
