How to design the photos to be taken?

Joseph Cassie, a famous Canadian photographer, is known as a master photographer because of his outstanding achievements in photography.

During his life, Sika took 15000 photos of accomplished people, many of whom were famous world celebrities. Among them are heads of state, famous scientists, writers, artists and so on.

Kathy is in Ottawa, Canada, taking photos for fun. His portraits can be vivid, fully reflect a character's character, and even show the spirit of the country and nation represented by some celebrities.

There is one thing that best illustrates Cassie's photography style.

194 1 In winter, then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill visited Canada. On the eve of Churchill's arrival in Ottawa, Kashi, then only 33 years old, asked his friend, Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King, to help him take a portrait of Churchill. King Mackenzie agreed to his request.

That night, Kathy stayed up all night. The next day, after listening to Churchill's sensational speech, he hurried across the hall to the speaker's room, where he set up a floodlight and made all the preparations. Soon, he heard footsteps, and Mackenzie King welcomed Churchill into the speaker's room. Kashi also immediately turned on the floodlight.

Churchill asked with a cigar in his mouth, "What is this for?" Everyone around us laughed, but Mackenzie King didn't. At this time, Kashi quickly bowed to Churchill and said, "Sir, I hope I can take a photo for you to commemorate this historic event." Churchill frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" But he finally agreed to Kashi's request.

Kashi was about to press the shutter when he had a brainwave and approached Churchill and said, "I'm sorry, sir!" " "The words sound just fell and he tore down the cigar in Churchill's mouth. Churchill suddenly flew into a rage. Just then, with a click, a world-famous masterpiece was photographed. It only took two minutes to shoot this masterpiece.

When this picture of Churchill was developed in the darkroom, I saw him holding a cane in one hand and a fork in the other. He is angry and aggressive. After seeing this photo, Kashi said confidently, "This is a masterpiece." Later, it turned out that this photo was widely circulated all over the world, and some people said it was the most widely circulated photo since the art of photography. At the same time, this photo was printed on stamps in seven countries. The whole world thinks this photo is a symbol of British wartime spirit. Kashi also wrote in a later published article: "Churchill in the film is a symbol of wartime Britain, holding his head high and indomitable." Since then, Kashgar has become famous all over the world. According to his own statement, "since then, I have no time to rest."

Designing the photos to be taken is a very nerve-racking thing. Kashi is also often worried that the photos will not be ideal. Therefore, before an important shooting task, he often stayed up all night and was tired and nervous the next day. But strangely, the more so, the better the photo is taken. So Kashi said, "I often judge the success of that photo the next day by the length of insomnia at night."

To do a good job, it is not enough to have a will, but also to use your head, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
