Photography skills Knowledge points and skills of photography

1. Highlight the key points by size ratio: The effective way to highlight the main body is to make it look different in size. The heroine in the huge advertisement in the picture above is much older than the real-life hero. By contrast, the black man in the corner is so humble. Breaking the normal proportional relationship, whether narrowing or enlarging, can achieve the ideal effect of highlighting the key points.

2. Highlight the theme by framing the frame: imagine a child behind barbed wire. His eyes are clear and transparent, and no matter what restrictions, he can't be free. Such creative frames are everywhere, as long as you observe them carefully before shooting. But you should know that this picture frame composition is just a "gimmick", which is used to change the taste and cannot be abused. Of course, you don't want people to look at the frame more than the main body.

3. Highlight the key points through lines: the converging lines point to the protagonist like arrows. These intersecting lines form a long corridor, which keeps people's eyes on this figure. Wide-angle lens enlarges the real space of foreground, reduces the relative size of human body and strengthens the sense of distance.

4. Highlight the theme with light: Remember, at any time, photography is about your use of light. It is not only a technical problem such as obtaining accurate exposure, but also a creative means. Whenever you look at the viewfinder, you should first look at the light, observe the effect of the light and experience the essence of the light. Highlighting the key points with light is one of the most powerful means.
