Personal photography (a moment to show your inner world)

Photography is an art that can capture moments through the lens. It is not only a way of recording life, but also a way of expressing inner world. Personal photography is a moment to show one's inner world through photography, and to convey one's feelings, thoughts and feelings to the viewer through images. In this article, I will share some experiences and operation steps in my personal photography.

1. Looking for inspiration

Before taking a personal photo, you need to look for inspiration. Inspiration can come from anything in life, such as natural scenery, people, objects and so on. You can get inspiration by observing your surroundings, listening to your inner voice, or referring to the works of other photographers. When you find a theme or idea that can stimulate your creative desire, you can start preparing for shooting.

Planned shooting

Before taking personal photos, you need to do some planning work. First, determine the location and time of shooting. According to your theme and idea, choose a suitable shooting location, which can be outdoor natural scenery or indoor specific scenes. Then, determine the shooting time and consider the influence of light and atmosphere on the shooting effect.

Next, prepare the equipment needed for shooting. The choice of photographic equipment depends on your personal preferences and shooting needs. It can be a SLR camera, a micro-camera or a mobile phone. In addition, you need to prepare some auxiliary equipment, such as tripod, filter, remote control and so on.

Finally, consider the composition and angle of shooting. Composition is a very important part of photography, which determines the visual effect and expressive force of photos. Various composition techniques can be used, such as symmetrical composition, backlight composition, low-angle composition, etc., to enhance the expressive force of photos.

3. Shooting skills

Mastering some shooting skills can help you better express your inner world when taking personal photos. First, pay attention to the use of light. Light is the soul of photography, which can change the atmosphere and emotion of photos. You can use natural light or artificial light to create different lighting effects, such as soft light, backlight, side light and so on.

Secondly, pay attention to the choice of composition and angle. Through reasonable composition and choosing different shooting angles, we can highlight the theme or express specific emotions. You can try different composition methods such as close-up, distant view and diagonal composition to create unique visual effects.

In addition, pay attention to seize the opportunity. Personal photography expresses the inner world by capturing moments, so we should learn to capture the beauty of those moments. You can show the instantaneous strength and beauty by shooting the expressions or actions of fast-moving objects and characters.

4. Post-processing

After the shooting is completed, post-processing is needed to improve the expressiveness and artistry of the photos. Post-processing can be done by image processing software, such as AdobePhotoshop and Lightroom. You can adjust the tone, contrast, saturation and other parameters of the photo, make local modifications or add special effects to achieve the desired effect.

In post-processing, attention should be paid to keeping the photos natural and realistic. Don't over-decorate or add too many special effects, so as not to destroy the original artistic conception and emotion of the photo.

final result

Whether looking for inspiration, planning shooting, mastering shooting skills or post-processing, it takes some effort and time. But as long as you feel and express with your heart, your personal photo will become an instant work of art that shows your inner world.
