How to shoot a high-level feeling in still life shooting

Still life shooting gives people a feeling of high quality:

1. Subtract the scene

Still life sketch photos usually pay attention to the cleanliness, neatness and overall prominence of the picture. Many times, the scenes we see are messy. For photographers, how to filter out unnecessary things is a problem that must be considered in the early stage of taking pictures. After determining the subject, we should continue to "do subtraction"-reduce redundant elements in the picture and reduce the interference to the subject picture, so as to better highlight the subject.

Step 2 look for light and shadow

Photography is the art of using light, and it is "painting" with light. Light and shadow can add vitality to images. In addition to highlighting the level and three-dimensional sense of objects, expressing the texture and details of objects is also the specialty of light and shadow, such as lighted glass bottles, or petals or leaves under backlight. Shadow is an imaginative element, such as the silhouette of backlight, which is often mysterious, while the shadow falling on the wall gives people a sense of leisure.

3. Unusual shooting angle

Because of its small size and selfie stick, mobile phone photography has more possibilities in the choice of shooting angle, which can be said to be the "killer" of mobile phone photography.

4. Find the laws of straight lines and geometry.

It is also a necessary condition for sketch photography to simply match lines into an aesthetic composition according to geometric laws. Life is full of these interesting lines, such as square architectural design, streamlined car outline, slender beanstalk sprouting strips and so on.

5. Make good use of contrast and conflict.

When there are contrast elements in the image, it will have a strong visual effect, and the focus of attention can add a lot of visibility to the photo.

There are two kinds of contrast here: formal contrast, that is, contrast on the screen, such as size, light and shade, cold and warm, color and so on. Make the picture expressive and attract readers' attention; The contrast in connotation means the contrast in content, such as war and peace, man and nature, sadness and joy, etc. , make the photo full of dramatic tension and arouse the viewer's thinking.
