Sean Shaw's photo, Sean Shaw's Japanese photo is such a chicken thief in color matching.

You should see Sean's new photos of Japan. In the photo, Sean is dressed in blue and white, loose and soft. He is a clean and delicate teenager, and the overall color of the photo is light blue. The background is simple, and it looks clear and comfortable.

Although it is sunny, the photo is still a quiet, comfortable and even cool atmosphere, which is in harmony with the color of the sweater.

Japanese-style photo seems to have always had a magic power, which makes people real, natural and beautiful. It is very suitable for Asians, and almost whoever shoots it looks good.

After all, for Asians, European and American styles are not easy to control for many stars, because they are exaggerated in shape, strong in color and high in saturation, and are originally suitable for Europeans and Americans with three-dimensional structures.

For example, a retro bob like Jelly Lin, even though she looks superior, can't hold up the structure, so it's not suitable for Europeans and Americans to keep.

Japanese photography is more suitable for our study and application, whether it is modeling or color tone. However, people's understanding of Japanese photography mostly stays in cool colors and light colors. For example, I mentioned the melancholy of Japanese girls before, but there are actually other different colors in Japanese photos, which are natural and easy to operate. Today we will talk about photos of different colors in Japan as a whole.

Japanese photos

From the color point of view, Japanese photo is characterized by simple and elegant colors. When shooting the original film, you usually choose a relatively simple background, and the makeup of the characters will not be particularly exaggerated, so the line of sight will not be attracted by some messy colors, and you will focus more on people.

The shooting weather looks like a cloudy day, and the light is diffuse, so the contrast between shadows and highlights is not too great, and the contrast and saturation are low, which will not cause great burden to the eyes and look very comfortable.

In the traditional cultures of Japan and China, the expression of emotions tends to be implicit, and if there are few colors, the emotions will not be too strong. Therefore, such photos are in line with our thinking habits in a sense, and it is not surprising that many people like them.

Generally, exposure can be added first to make the picture brighter, and the contrast or highlight shadow can be adjusted to narrow the gap.

Then reduce the saturation and have a softer and lighter feeling.

This picture is more suitable for cool colors, so reducing warm colors and increasing cool colors are basically close to the style of Japanese photos.

Japanese photos are mostly cool colors, which are more popular, because everyone is Asian, and their skin color is much yellower than that of Europeans and Americans, while white is still very nice in Asia. Cool colors have the effect of removing yellow, which can make the skin whiter.

Moreover, the sense of coolness increases the sense of distance, and the sense of distance increases the aesthetics. The colder the goddess is, the more popular the cool color system is.

Although Japanese photos are cold and dull, they often have some small details, such as creating an overexposure effect and adding a little visual impact, so although there are few colors in the picture, they will not look dull.

Or there are some vague foreground, although the color is simple, the contrast between shadows and highlights is not strong, but there is still a sense of hierarchy.

Of course, it is also good to change the picture through tonal music. After all, not all photos are suitable for Japanese cool color filters. For example, stroking a powerful dog is a very warm and quiet picture, and blue is an enhanced peace, but the theme of the photo is not to express indifference, there is a love interaction between people and animals, so I personally think it is better to look at the right.

Sometimes some people's looks and styles will suit different colors. For example, Qin Li looks colder and more suitable for cool colors, but some people are more suitable for warm colors, so I will talk about both.

cool tone

1. Blue

You should be familiar with the blue tone. The left side of the original film may be like this. If you change the hue to blue, the shadow of the background will also turn blue, and people will look much colder.

The blue tone mainly gives people a clean, melancholy and ethereal feeling. The mood is very light and simple, and the faint expression and cool clothes will be very suitable for this tone and complement each other.

Indoor photography with dark light is also suitable for this color tone, which can remove the dirty feeling of the picture brought by dark light, and it will also appear sad and deserted, and the small space is also very quiet.

Very suitable for the sky, sea water and lake water, which is naturally blue and open and simple, but involves lakes and streams, and sometimes the color will be green.

2. Green (surname); green

Next, let's talk about green. Green is the superposition of blue and yellow, so it will be warmer.

So compared with blue, green actually looks a little more relaxed, with the feeling of sunshine, not as depressed and calm as blue.

Green is also the color of grass, trees and other plants, which can represent nature, vitality and vigor. Photos in green tones are more suitable for the theme of forests and nature.

warm tone

1. Yellow

Of course, photos of Japan also have warm colors. Young girls are a favorite type in Japan, and photos with yellow tones can create such an atmosphere.

With sunshine, sunset and other effects will be very good, plus some backlighting, the picture looks warm, and the expressions and movements of the characters can be very open and dynamic.

You can also use props to make different shapes of light and shadow.

Moreover, because white photographic paper will turn yellow if it is left for a long time, when the picture has a yellow tone, it will also have a retro nostalgic effect.

2. Red

Red is also a very important color in Japanese culture. Anyone who has seen "The Evil Woman" with flowers as the theme should be moved by the large piece of red inside, which is strong, glamorous, desperate and full of emotion.

But the photos in red series are usually done by costumes and props, not by color matching, because it is easy to bring out an atmosphere that is too ambiguous.

Red clothes and props stand out in many scenes. It will be better to occupy a large area of the picture, and a cold filter will reduce the intensity. Since red is chosen, it's better to be brighter.

If the contrast saturation is increased, the retro effect is also possible.

Neutral tone

1

Black, white and gray are neutral tones, neither hot nor cold. The overall tone is neutral and there is no interference from other colors. The whole picture is cleaner and gentler than blue.

It can highlight the characters and create a sense of obscurity.

Perfect for shooting snow scenes. The surrounding snow itself brightens the picture and acts as a reflector, and the skin will appear very white. The disadvantage is that it is easily overexposed.

2. Black

When it comes to black, it is usually backlighting at night, or taking photos at night. Backlight photography blurs many details and gives people room for imagination, so it will be more artistic.

The night scene really means lights and fireworks, black night curtain and ten thousand lights. What could be more romantic than this?

Or just a partial appearance, holding fireworks, night lights and the like, which is more mysterious.

Ok, now everyone is going to take a Japanese photo, which can be very ethereal, energetic and powerful, and it is very suitable for Asians and easy to operate. If you are excited, just shoot it quickly ~
