How to take Japanese photos in Japanese style

People from different countries have their own unique tastes when taking pictures. Today, I would like to introduce a simple style that I like very much-Japanese style. What's unique about the photos taken by Japanese photographers? Generally speaking, it has the following characteristics: natural light with white background, simpler chromaticity, lower contrast and softer. In Japanese-style shooting, "how to view the scene" plays a very important role. Please remember a key point: harmony. The photos look harmonious, and Japanese style will naturally appear. This time, the author aims to shoot still life, including food, groceries and indoor space, which can be shot at home. Indoor shooting techniques use natural light. Window light is the most important element, which can shoot natural colors. Pay attention to turn off other lights when shooting. If the light source is insufficient, you can use a reflector or turn up the aperture (white cardboard, pearl board or cloth can also be used). If necessary, please use a tripod to assist. Don't use flash, because the strong light of flash will make objects look out of harmony. Pay close attention to the change of sunlight, and the color temperature is different at different times. You might as well pay attention to the change of sunshine all day, and you will find a heavy blue color before sunrise and after sunset, which is a cold color temperature; It's warm in the morning and afternoon in Huang Tiao. Avoid shooting at noon, the sunshine is almost soft at other times. Shoot in the early morning or before dark, don't have a taste. If the background is too messy, the photo will not highlight the theme, so please keep the picture simple and clean. If you have difficulty, you can cover the extra objects with cloth. There should be enough white space in composition and framing skills, keep the picture simple, separate the objects slightly, and use white space skills. A clean wall, floor or dining table is a good background choice. If it is too monotonous, you can spread a patterned tablecloth or hang it as a background.

Unify the styles and colors of articles. As long as the style is unified, it won't be too messy to put too many items. In order to show a sense of harmony, the color of the object need not be too strong. You might as well use a series of similar tones and then add some decorative colors, such as white furnishings with brown objects. Think about the shooting angle, and shoot something that can show a bright plane from directly above; Things with height can be shot obliquely from above or from the front; A close-up of a close-up part. Different angles have different feelings. You can hang up the object and shoot it if necessary. Making up a short story is more than just putting it in a good position. If the image can have a sense of story, then the work can add artistic conception. Every object has its meaning. Think about what objects you need to use in this painting to express your feelings. Of course, you can also take continuous or a series of photos to tell a story. It is very important to spend time creating styles on the layout. From the perspective of harmony, the layout of the scene is very important. The author suggests several styles as a reference. Simple style is mainly monochrome, avoiding using too many colors. Don't think about how to add things, think about how to subtract things. The key is to strike a balance in collocation, because an overly simple picture will make people feel lonely. Recommended small things: old cloth, wooden boards, paper with stamps or old stamps, old things and cute styles are all suitable for taking pictures of food and desserts. Not limited to western style, you can try any combination as long as it makes you feel cute. Different patterns of fabrics are good, but we should pay attention to the balance between patterns and objects, and the size of patterns should be the same as objects. If you want to put feminine decorations, one is enough.
