Change the shooting skills of the picture from the perspective

Being on the road is a state of life, and photographers should reflect this state in their shooting. The choice and change of shooting angle is one of the magic weapons to win by surprise. Different shooting angles have different visual effects, and different scenes also have different perspectives, especially when shooting on the road. "The side view of the mountain is the peak, and the distance is different" can be understood as depicting the change of the viewer's angle. Let's use several different groups of works to analyze the changes that angle changes can bring to the image.

Street at night

The street at night is a unique location environment, with bright neon lights and blurred street lamps. Everything is so dreamy and magical. In this portrait shooting at night, I highlighted the change of angle and adopted the perspective of "looking at the mountain side into a peak" to select the angle of the characters. "Looking sideways" is actually a positive angle, which is true, natural and direct. It is the most commonly used observation angle in our daily life, that is, frontal shooting. Frontal shooting will make the night scene environment and people overlap, and the three-dimensional sense of space is not strong, but people can be used to block unnecessary parts of the background environment. And through the change of depth of field, the bright performance of the night scene is more intuitive and clear at a glance.

"Side Bian Feng" is the choice of side angle. In our ancient garden design, we pay attention to changing scenery, that is to say, when the position we observe moves, the corresponding scenery will also change, which is the angle change in photography. When we take a step from the front to other directions, our shooting angle becomes a side shot, which can reduce the area of the characters and exaggerate the height. Sideshots can basically be divided into three angles: front, front and back, changing the scenery at night. The front is the most commonly used angle of change, which can make people and scenes have appropriate perspective changes, people become smaller and taller, and the night scene with blurred light and shadow has a sense of space. When using the front corner, we should pay attention to whether the outline and curve of the person are reasonable and beautiful.

The positive angle has a strong sense of oppression in perspective, and the two sides of the figure basically overlap, but the curve fluctuation characteristics of the figure will be more obvious. At night, you can choose distinctive windows to set off the three-dimensional sense of the characters. The angle of the back is basically two-thirds of the angle of the back and face of the character, which is more suitable for highlighting the story of the night scene and the implicit sense of the character. It is required that the waist curve of the characters should be beautiful, which is conducive to the echo description of the scene and the characters and easy to deepen the theme.

street crossing

Walking in the city, the zebra crossing carries our hurried figure. Using zebra crossing to express the emotions of our subjects is the focus of this shooting, and it is also seeking change from the angle. The zebra crossing is composed repeatedly and orderly, but it doesn't change much, so I try to change the distance and seek to increase the composition of the surrounding environment to participate in the picture and complete the performance with * * *.

The change of distance refers more to the change of distance and scenery. Telefocus can show the big scene and explain the characteristics of the big surrounding environment. The proportion of foreground characters will be small, but it must be the focus of the picture as the finishing touch. Close-ups focus on the expressions and demeanor of the characters, and the scenery is more used as a base map. Therefore, we can sum up two kinds of composition forms when we shoot zebra crossing with the change of distance, one is to compose the scene, the other is to compose the characters; When we use a long lens to compose a composition, we should use more contrast factors to highlight the characters and make them the main body; When the close-up is dominated by people, the bodies and expressions of people in a hurry are the most wonderful places in the picture, and the background slightly illustrates the environmental characteristics.

Urban rail transit system

Subway is a typical symbol of modern city, bearing the mood and state of everyone walking in the city. When I was shooting, I chose the Beijing subway with brighter light and fewer passengers to shoot. The subway is relatively small in space, so its operation is limited. Therefore, the subway used is long and narrow, with a strong sense of perspective, so we can start from the perspective of high and low shooting.

The change of high and low angles will make the picture have a completely different visual experience. High is overhead, low is overhead; High-angle overhead shots and wide-angle lenses can compress the height of characters, produce a strong sense of perspective, and highlight the environmental characteristics and strong sense of perspective of the city railway; Low-angle backhand can exaggerate and highlight the height of the characters, showing the change of the smaller space of the city railway; Both of them are three-point perspective and belong to strong perspective. When shooting with a wide-angle lens, the narrow space will produce great exaggeration and deformation, which can produce strong visual effects.

There are many shooting methods of environmental portraits, and it is convenient to change the angle and get the results quickly, which also shows that when we shoot, different perspectives will have different perspective characteristics, which is also the characteristics of environmental portraits.
