A photo is not just a photo, it is a story, or a wonderful moment. Therefore, the choice of items and the way they are placed should serve this story or moment. If the theme is not prominent, then no matter how many items are put, it will appear cumbersome.

1. Use a cooler photography application.

Please remember that all high-quality flat shots need help in the later stage, and don't directly po the repaired pictures, okay? A powerful flat shooter only needs one or two apps and a few simple steps to release the texture. Their favorite applications (and ours) are Vsco Cam (rich in filters and extremely easy to use), Instagram (even with walls, it can be used as a pure retouching tool), Afterlight (suitable for creating a retro feeling of movies) and SnapSeed (produced by Google). Which one is the most handy, different people have different opinions, so just try it.

Change your mind

Using the same shooting method every day will inevitably feel a little boring. It is better to try different placement methods, follow your intuition and move the position of items at will, add or subtract some items, and try more, and you can always find a composition that makes you feel satisfied. Like changing the angle? Leave more space, and then add another sentence? Put it anywhere? Put things in different containers and suitcases?

You need a treasure chest to add icing on the cake.

If you often pat yourself flat, you'd better collect some props consciously. If you like to shoot delicious food, then beautiful plates, cups and cups are essential. All kinds of trinkets, magazines, English newspapers, books, stationery and dried flowers are all omnipotent photogenic kings, which can be used at any time and often play the role of finishing touch.

4. Stand tall and shoot beautifully

If you put things on the ground, it is not difficult to take a completely horizontal overhead shot at the height where you are standing. But if the object is shot on the desktop, you need to stand on a stool or ladder and shoot it completely horizontally. In short, the higher you stand, the easier it is to shoot perfectly, and the greater the cutting space.

5. Learn to use the square box in the camera

If shooting with iPhone, it is recommended to directly select the square box in the camera or in the App to ensure that everything is in the picture. Although instagram can cut long pictures, it is more intuitive to shoot directly with boxes, closer to what you want to present most, and easier to shoot a stable and coordinated composition.

In addition to being neatly arranged, if you learn to compose a picture and leave it blank wisely, the picture will be more comfortable to "breathe" and the shooting theme and the story behind it will be more prominent. Learn the following composition methods to make the picture more tense and beautiful.

A. Triangular composition: Select three objects with primary and secondary points on the screen and place them in a triangular relationship. Triangle is a very stable but not boring structure.

B. Centered composition: Like wes anderson's film composition, put the subject in the center and strive for left-right symmetry.

C diagonal composition: the picture is diagonal, so that the subjects are distributed diagonally, which can create a sense of stability.

D. 1/3 composition rule: placing horizontal lines below 1/3 or 1/3 will make people feel that the picture is harmonious and full of beauty.

Please remember that a photo is not just a photo, it is a story, or a wonderful moment. Therefore, everything should serve this story or moment from the choice of items to the way they are placed. If the theme is not prominent, then no matter how many items are put, it will appear cumbersome. As for the theme ... travel, fashion, beauty, food, your day, the things in your bag ... can you shoot for a month without repeating the same theme every day? Just try it. Challenge it?

Mobile Portrait Photography-Color Matching

As I said before, you not only need to set the theme, but also consider the overall color system to ensure that the main body or small objects used for matching will not exceed this range, such as earth tones, black and white gray, different shades of blue ... Of course, on this basis, you can also add a small amount of contrasting colors or black, white or metallic objects to light up the picture.

Mobile Portrait Photography-Background

Choosing a clean and simple background is the first step to shoot a high-quality plane Lay. The responsibility of the background is to set off the subject, not to steal the limelight of the protagonist. Therefore, try to choose clean, simple but elegant materials with good texture as the background, such as wooden materials (wood floors, wooden countertops), marble or some white, light gray cardboard and high-quality linen. This is the easiest way to improve the texture of your photos by more than ten times! Of course, you can also try some special backgrounds, which may have unexpected effects.

Mobile portrait photography-natural light

Natural light is the best tool for repairing ability. Have you found that high-value Flat Lay uses natural light? The biggest advantage of natural light is that it is natural, soft and real, and there will be no shadow of you or equipment in it. You might as well choose morning or afternoon, and take a shot when there is enough light. Since I really don't understand the world of artificial light, if you are not a professional photographer like me, I suggest you don't challenge easily ... The main reason is that lying flat is easy to shoot, so if you shoot at night, there will be heavy shadows of photographic equipment and the color will be difficult to adjust.
