1, light: foster strengths and avoid weaknesses

Plain and smooth light, transparent side light and brilliant backlight endow different life images. Making good use of different light is the basis of taking good photos.

When shooting with a mobile phone, we should pay special attention to the light and shadow effect and exposure control ―― in these respects, it is difficult for a mobile phone to compare with a professional camera, and we need to develop our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

For example, when shooting in sidelight, it is easy to leave a shadow on the face of the character, so be extra careful when shooting MM, at least don't let the shadow hit her face.

For another example, in the backlight position, it is difficult for the mobile phone to take a "normal" backlight portrait. After all, the tolerance of mobile phones is low, and it is difficult to completely solve it with HDR.

In this case, it is better to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and take a silhouette! Low tolerance of mobile phones? Just what I want!

2. Human-land interaction

Let the characters become the focus of the picture, bring people into the scene, and the scene moves with people.

Reflection is also a weapon to improve the style of portrait photography. I will pay special attention to moonlight puddles and lakes after the rain.

When you approach the ground at an ultra-low angle. People, trees, rain, fallen leaves, as if all in the inner senses, are mysteries.

3, the brain hole is wide open

If you want to add some fun, you can try to re-expose it. Take pictures in real focus and in virtual focus. Let the almost transparent you float in the middle of the scene.

After the App, it is recommended to use a picture synthesizer.

In fact, posing for a long time is far less interesting than taking a snapshot in an instant. Do triple jump. Make up a comic book. Dynamic you may be more delicious than static.

Tips:

1, mobile phones are not shallow depth of field and high image quality for SLR, but can bring wonderful inspiration and stories;

2. How to present the narrative sense of the scene, the state of people and the interaction between people and the scene just right is the essence of the mobile phone blockbuster sense;

1, black and white silent film

If words can chant affection, then photos can tell the heart. Good photos have souls. You can describe the life you want in words, or record the lonely hell you see with your eyes.

So, how to take good black and white photos?

1. Find a scene suitable for black and white and simple composition, which can make the black and white tone more pure.

2. Emotion is the atmosphere. Explore the feelings in black and white photos. Gao Fancha and large dark corners can be used.

2. Inner feelings

In a good photo, it is not the equipment or PS that plays a decisive role, but your perspective and brain.

If the original piece is flat, it's better to rotate it and be symmetrical.

Make good use of various lines in real life. Straight line, diagonal line, S line, radiation. Their existence will make the picture avoid being straightforward and look neat and nervous.

3. Minimal aftertaste

Minimalism is the only rule of mobile phone photography. That is, a large area of blank space, and meaningful themes.

Please note that "space" does not mean "blank". Relatively monotonous scenery or regular lines can also make you shoot minimalist works with charm.

In addition, the so-called "large-scale blank space" does not mean that you have to shoot such "big scenes" as blue sky, grassland and sea.

As long as you have a passion for life and a keen eye for photography, some small details in life can still form an excellent minimalist picture after amplification.

1, beautiful scenery

Use more natural light to shoot food and stay away from artificial light sources in restaurants.

If the light is asymmetrical and half dark and half bright, white objects such as paper towels and cardboard can be placed opposite the light source to reflect and fill the light. Clean, elegant and good texture materials are suitable for background. For example, logs, marble, white cardboard or light gray linen.

Of course, the protagonist is always food. It is best to finish shooting in a short time to keep the original taste, color and freshness of food.

2, the temptation to eat color

How to stimulate appetite with images? The best way is to make the food "look like it's going to be eaten".

If it is chicken soup, it is definitely more mouth-watering than cooking in a pot; If it's pizza, the seafood sauce dipped in sour sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds is definitely more attractive than a nine-inch dish and pie.

A Shuang Mu chopstick and a spoon, the intensive heat is enough to stimulate appetite and taste buds.

Don't forget, those small and exquisite chopped green onion, garlic cloves, barbecue scorch marks and crystal clear white rice are also worth recording.
