Photographers, how to improve their creative inspiration?

It can be difficult to find inspiration for your own photography project. Sometimes you can even feel that all the sources of inspiration are used up. However, creative people in the world are creating artistic "resources", which we as photographers can use as the basis of our work.

Literally, it can explain the result of another art project. You can create completely abstract photos, which will be based on the idea of a single element or another work.

Movie inspiration Many photographers get inspiration from movies. Photography and movies have a lot in common, so in terms of visual images, it is meaningful to let the eyes evaluate the scene of the movie like the lens in the photo. Elements such as light and color will make you particularly interested. By monitoring the operator's work, we can know how the film creator controls the above two parameters under different conditions.

Inspiration can be found not only in the use of lighting and some color schemes, but also in the positions and characters displayed in movies. Try to stop the film at a specific position and observe the still picture. By analyzing the elements that affect the formation of the picture, it is rated as a photo. This will give you an opportunity to evaluate how you will get similar results when creating photos.

Artistic inspiration In both cases, you should pay attention to visual elements, so artistic inspiration can be compared with movies. Once, I read an article by a photographer who suggested that young colleagues learn how to draw before picking up the camera.

Instead of simply trying to prolong this process, he emphasized the importance of understanding the image structure, lines, perspective, lighting, angle and proportion-the combination of all these elements is not only pictures or illustrations, but also photos and works of art.

You may find images that have a great influence on you. You can try to recreate the photos in the painting, or you may be interested in individual aspects of the artwork, such as specific lines, colors or any proportions.

Books are inspired by novels, which helps the imagination to improve the abstraction of "thinking". In this case, everything depends largely on the reader's imagination. It may be that any scene in the book is described so well that people imagine it very vividly and then try to show it in the form of photos.

However, for me, the most important thing is that reading novels will stimulate the photographer's imagination, and imagination plays a very important role in thinking about pictures (especially in pictures created for some advertising activities or some publicity). The ability to use imagination to construct clear visual images will enable photographers to generate new and attractive ideas.

Musical mood "detergent" Music is similar to novels, because its concept is very abstract in nature, and we can't see any visual elements that will prompt us to create specific photos. However, this does not mean that music cannot be used as a source of inspiration.

Connect your imagination with this process, and you can sit down and listen to music to present any plot that can be filmed. In the case of listening to music, due to the lack of ready-made visual materials, your brain can't generate images, and your personal perception of the world will be very small.

If all this seems out of reach for you, why not try wearing a camera and headphones and let music affect your mood and perception of the world around you? As an option, you can imagine the song fragment you are listening to and try to convey the image you have with the help of photos.

The trick to try it yourself is to find the source of inspiration and pick up the camera to find the photos. Start with your familiar inspiration. Favorite book or movie. Something you are very familiar with. Based on facts that you can easily remember and imagine. In this way, you can find an object for your photos, and it is possible to open up a brand-new theme world for your photos.
