How to shoot a sketch with a dog's head

The key to good sketch photography lies in the cultivation of photographic eyes, that is, the observation of details around life, such as light, shadow, color and line, which are all good themes that can be played. How to put your thoughts on these elements and form a moving image depends entirely on your own aesthetic quality and imagination to explore the humorous side of things.

Looking for light and shadow

Light and shadow can add vitality to images. In addition to highlighting the three-dimensional sense and layering of the subject, expressing the texture and details of the subject is also the specialty of light and shadow, such as lighted glass bottles, or petals or leaves under backlight. No matter what subject matter you shoot, if there is light blessing, you can always add a lot of color to the photo. Shadow is an imaginative element, such as the silhouette of backlight, which is often mysterious. The shadow sprinkled on the wall gives people a sense of leisure. The contrast between light and dark parts can not only guide the viewer's sight, but also be the biggest weapon to shape the atmosphere.

Geometry and lines can be the presentation of abstract ideas, and through their own emotions and imagination, they can become a photo with a story. You can also simply appreciate beautiful things and create a unique image through different composition, tone and light and shadow. For example, black-and-white photography is one of the methods to highlight geometric beauty, or to turn reality into emptiness by out-of-focus method, forming unknown geometric figures or color blocks. Elements of geometry and lines abound. As long as you observe them carefully, you can find them in your life and mine.

Contrast and conflict

When there are contrasting elements in the image, it will feel particularly strong visually. With the focus of attention, photos will increase visibility. For example, color contrast is a common expression, and the phrase "a little red in the green" has become the best interpretation. In addition, when opposing concepts appear in the picture, the aesthetic feeling of conflict may be shocking, or it may have some symbolic significance, which is worth pondering by the viewer.

The happiness and sadness of the characters in the photo will attract the attention of the viewer, and the atmosphere revealed by the image will infect the viewer's mood. If you want to shoot the wonders of nature, you need to have basic knowledge of meteorological observation, and sometimes you need a little luck, such as lightning or many sky anomalies. These are rare moments.
