News photography skills and requirements A brief introduction to news photography skills and requirements.

Correct use of on-site lighting

News photographers should be familiar with the workflow of news shooting and interview, fully understand the scene performance of this news subject, and know the scene of each subject in advance, so as to have the best shooting angle in the shooting workflow. News photographers should consider the interference of natural light on the news shooting scene when shooting news, so as to have a more comprehensive understanding and consideration of indoor lighting brightness and flash factors. According to the sunshine quality of the scene, the shooting of the live news can be adjusted, and a flash can be added when necessary. If the flash can't be used at the news shooting scene, or the object of news shooting is too far away from the shooting scene, and in order to highlight the news shooting atmosphere at the scene, we can consider using the scene view to adjust in the news shooting work. In the process of adjusting photography, you can choose large-caliber lenses such as 26mm~70mm/F2.8 to start news shooting. Relatively speaking, a lens with a larger aperture can ensure the shutter speed and improve the imaging quality of photography, thus maintaining the shooting quality of news. Photographers can ensure the shutter speed to some extent when shooting hand-held cameras with natural light. When shooting with a lens of 16mm~35mm, the shutter speed can be controlled within the range of115s ~1/30s.

Correct use of flash

For an external flash whose angle can be adjusted at will, when the flash is projected to the shooting center, it will cause the shadow or overexposure of the subject. Therefore, in order to reduce the overexposure of the flash in use and grasp the subject more accurately and clearly, the news shooting works should be adjusted by the flash and made to protrude with the cooperation of the reflector. If the light source diffuses through the ceiling and reflector, it can effectively improve the interference of uneven illumination on the news camera under the condition of solving the overexposure of the subject. If the shooting distance is small, you can adjust it to 90 degrees when shooting the subject at close range, and shoot the subject through the reflection of the surrounding walls and ceilings to achieve the best shooting quality.

Reasonable selection of news photography photos

At present, in the news photo publishing work, thematic photos, single photos and group photos are all released, and the most common release form is single photo. Therefore, in order to improve the photo quality of news photography, we should reasonably choose more valuable news photography works. The use of news release photos should fully consider whether the photographer's action expression is natural, whether the essential connotation of news events can be more clearly displayed, whether the structural layout of the picture is within a reasonable composition range, and whether the photos themselves have certain ornamental effects. , and truly ensure the quality of news release photos.

Proper adjustment of photographic composition

The composition of photography should fully reflect the composition requirements of news photos in the works, and try to highlight the relationship between the subject and the level in the picture. Make sure the photographic picture is clean and concise, use large aperture to deal with the messy picture background, and make some fuzzy adjustments to the background to make the theme of the photo clearer. At the same time, ensuring the vividness and interest of the picture can make readers see the content reflected by news events at a glance. In terms of subject matter, the shooting of news photos should try to ensure that a picture shows the same visual center, so as to make news photos more expressive. If there are several visual centers in a news photo, we can use the distance change of the subject or the zoom of the lens to achieve the effect of selecting the picture, thus highlighting the main body of the picture. There are many visual factors in news photography, so in the process of shooting works, if we don't effectively integrate artistic techniques and photography skills, we will increase the composition research of news photography, so as to enhance the appeal of photographic pictures and highlight the artistic value and news value of news works. In addition, photographers can also integrate news events with photography art through shooting adjustments from different angles to show the final effect of news photography works.

2. Requirements:

News photography should have "five essentials", namely novelty, truthfulness, life, pleading and meaning.

This requires news photographers to go deep into their lives and strive to shoot news photos with both news value and artistry under the premise of strictly observing the rules of news photography, which has both strong news value and high artistic appreciation value.

News photography requires the unity of truth, goodness and beauty in content and form, and it needs to use artistic techniques to grasp typical moments and let the image "speak". Only in this way can we have a strong ideological and infectious nature and have a more shocking effect.
