What is the basic skill of photography?

The basic skills of photography are some basic skills and methods that photographers must master. The basic skills of photography mainly include the following points:

1. light control: the most important element in photography is light. Understanding the characteristics of light, mastering the direction and intensity of light, and how to use light to set off the theme are one of the basic skills of photographers.

2. Composition ability: Composition refers to the method of putting the theme on the screen and expressing the characteristics of the theme through reasonable composition layout. Photographers need to master various visual composition skills, such as symmetry, inversion and distortion. And can flexibly use various composition elements to improve the appreciation of the image.

3. Use equipment: Photographic equipment includes cameras, lenses, tripods, etc. How to use these equipment reasonably in the process of photography and obtain good photographic results is also a basic ability that photographers must master.

4. Grasp the depth of field: the depth of field refers to the range of the scene in the photographic image in spatial depth. Photographers need to master the expression method of depth of field and choose the appropriate aperture and focal length to control the depth of field.

5. Shutter control: Shutter control refers to the selection of shutter speed during shooting. Adjusting the shutter speed can control the motion blur of photographic works and also determine the brightness of images. At different shutter speeds, the captured images are different.

6. White balance adjustment: White balance refers to the color perceived by human eyes under white light irradiation, and it is also the basis of color in photographic works. Photographers need to adjust the reasonable white balance according to different environments and light sources, and use color filters, HDR and other methods to improve the color reproduction of photographic works.

7. Post-processing: After shooting, post-processing the photos is also an important link in photography. Photographers need to learn to use various post-processing software to process and modify images, such as cropping, color adjustment, exposure, contrast and sharpening. To improve the completion and artistry of photos.

The basic skills of photography can help photographers better understand the photography process, enhance their photography skills and improve the quality of shooting. At the same time, we need constant cultivation and practice, constantly hone our own perceptual factors and aesthetic ability, and improve the taste and artistry of photography. In addition to basic skills, you need to exercise your awareness and aesthetic ability in actual shooting to improve your photography level.

Matters needing attention in photography

1, perspective selection: Photographers need to choose a suitable shooting perspective, and different perspectives can interpret different themes. For example, low-angle shooting can highlight the majesty and strength of the theme, and high-angle shooting can present the lightness and femininity of the theme.

2, light mastery: light is the soul of photographic works, photographers need to be good at mastering the intensity, direction and color of light under different light sources to determine the shooting effect. For example, when shooting indoors, you need to control the direction and intensity of light, while when shooting outdoors, you need to pay attention to the change of light and choose the right time and place to shoot.

3. Pay attention to composition: composition is the key to the appreciation and beauty of the lens. Photographers need to pay attention to various composition skills, such as subject position, composition proportion, form symmetry, color matching, etc., in order to make photographic works have high visual appeal and style.

4. Fully prepare equipment: Photographers need to fully prepare the required photographic equipment, including cameras, lenses, tripods, portable bases and other necessary equipment. The quality of photographic equipment directly affects the quality and style of their works.

5. Rational use of post-processing: post-processing refers to some operations such as modification and retouching of a photographic work after completion. This work can optimize the color effect, contrast, sharpen or eliminate defects. But post-processing should not be the "lifesaver" of shooting quality, it is just a means to embellish already good works and add more value.

The key to photography lies in continuous practice and trial, being good at observation and thinking, and combining technology and perceptual factors through continuous study and practice to create more attractive and responsive photographic works. At the same time, we need to pay attention to personal cultivation and courtesy, and abide by social morality and professional ethics in order to become an excellent photographer or professional photographer.
