If you are a mobile phone photographer, are there any good street shooting methods?

Hello everyone! I am Xiao Rui Photography!

This question is a good one, and it also raises many people's questions. Let me answer this question!

1. Basic theoretical knowledge of mobile phone photography

Both mobile phone photography and SLR photography need a certain theoretical basis, such as how to expose and how to compose a picture. We want to lay a good foundation for the street. As the old saying goes, sharpen your knife first.

2. Don't be shy, be good at discovering.

Street shooting is that we shoot anyone on the street with our mobile phones! The following points need to be explained here: first of all, we are shooting others, and others are not our models! Therefore, we need to play the shameless spirit to shoot! Secondly, let's shoot these things, which are fleeting! So be good at finding out and act quickly! Finally, we should be good at summing up, integrate theory with practice, and constantly improve the level of selfie!

3. Equipment update

As I said, it's a mobile phone street shooting, so the pixels of our mobile phone must be guaranteed, and Nokia can't be used! Need to change a better mobile phone! Now there are many mobile phone lenses on the Internet, such as wide angle and macro, which are much cheaper than SLR lenses. You can buy it to improve your street shooting level!

The textbook says: Street shooting is a culture that originated in Europe and America. It originated from the demand of fashion magazines. It uses cameras to capture the fashionable elements in the street and transmit popular information from the people, so the so-called "street show" came into being.

Generally speaking, a professional street shooting must capture the details, collocation and brand of the clothes of the person being photographed. Nowadays, "street shooting" activity is gradually becoming a new street cultural activity for young people in China.

The above is the rise and purpose of popularizing street shooting through textbooks! We also play street shooting now, and we also want to play street shooting with our mobile phones. I think the current mobile phone should be able to do it, because the mobile phone has a dual camera function, and the effective distance is 50 meters, which can completely satisfy your interest in street shooting!

Oh! One more question: Is there any good way to shoot in the street? In other words, don't let people see you shooting in the street. Tell your friends: connect the headset to your mobile phone and press the call button to get one. There are many other ways. Taobao has a new mobile phone remote control, which is also very easy to use. I think the concealment should be good, because you can fix your mobile phone in one place, just like nothing happened, and finish your street shooting!

Whether it is a mobile phone or a camera, I think the method of street shooting is the same. My mobile phone is dual-camera, which is equivalent to 28mm and 56mm, which is in line with the focal length of my own street camera. Mobile phone street shooting is more convenient and hidden than camera. Let me share some good methods for street shooting.

1. Press the shutter with the headphone cable. This is a device using tips. Generally, the earphone cable with telephone answering function can control the shutter and can be used when shooting special angles. In addition, it can also be used as a cover for people who are afraid of being discovered.

2. Street shooting should pay attention to light and shadow, regardless of sunlight or lighting, we should pay attention to the role of light on the environment.

3. Observe the environment and form the habit of prejudging. When shooting in the street, I will observe the people and things around me. I will think about what these people and things will do in my mind and predict the connection between them. For example, in the following photo, when I was crossing the road, I saw a man walking two children across the road, and there was traffic on the road. I subconsciously thought of the picture of "people are waiting for the bus, and the car is moving", so I turned on my mobile phone and pressed continuous shooting, and there was this photo.

4. Consciously pay attention to composition, such as common three-point composition, symmetrical composition, contrast composition and guide line composition. And think about how to compose the picture in advance to make the photo more brilliant.

5. Coincidence, looking for an interesting picture to shoot, seemingly unintentional coincidence, is actually a picture that has been carefully searched and patiently waited.

In fact, the "photographic eye" has the observation ability of "seeing what others can't see" Facing the same scene, mobile phone photographers always want to shoot different works. How to exercise this ability in daily shooting and study?

1. Accumulate shooting scenes and pay more attention to observation.

The content, theme and scene of shooting are very important in shooting. The "photographic eye" is not only available when shooting, but has seen enough photos of similar subjects in the early shooting.

When traveling daily, pay more attention to the details of the surrounding life and scene, including the structure of the scene, the colorful texture, the changeable colors, the dancing lines and so on. When you are in a taxi or walking, you can see scenes suitable for taking pictures. It will be better to open the camera frame of the mobile phone and see if there is anyone in the picture. Do more similar attempts, and slowly you will find that there are many scenes suitable for shooting.

2, don't shoot blindly, think more before encountering shooting bottlenecks.

After taking a lot of photos with your mobile phone, you will find that if you look at the photos taken before with your current eyes, you will feel that if you change the angle or adjust the position of the characters in the picture, the effect should be better. See if your photography skills have improved. You can look at the photos you have taken before. Do you still feel good?

The skill of mobile phone photography is actually very simple. I just started to pursue the formal beauty of photos. If you feel that you have achieved formal beauty, you can shift the focus of shooting to the content of the picture. Interesting content always attracts the attention of the audience. Next time you are ready to turn on your mobile phone, remember to think about what you can shoot, what you can't shoot or how to shoot.

3. Seeing more excellent photographs is the best way to improve aesthetics and accumulate shooting inspiration.

When watching excellent works, you can ask yourself a few questions:

Why do you like this photo?

What can we learn from composition and timbre?

If you took a similar photo yourself, what would you do?
