Stereo shooting skill

The most painful thing about photography is that when you see a wonderful three-dimensional scene, you can only record it in a two-dimensional picture and can't really show its charm.

So, what should we do to better show the soul of the scene?

We can create a three-dimensional sense of the photo by adding foreground ~

When we observe and take pictures, our attention is always focused on the subject, thus ignoring the subject. Elements before the theme. But these elements are sometimes used as foreground, which can deepen the depth and three-dimensional sense of the picture, guide the viewer's line of sight and improve the visual impact ~

So, what are the prospects?

When we see a magnificent scene, we can actually divide the whole scene into three parts: foreground, middle scene and background.

As shown above, the foreground is a stone, the middle scene is a river, and the distant urban buildings are the background ~

Of course, it is more likely that in the scene we see, the foreground, the middle scene and the background are not necessarily so distinct, but they must be interrelated. Every time you conceive how to take pictures, you can imagine the scene as a stage, and the background is the set of the stage. Its function is to set the tone for the whole stage and create a corresponding atmosphere. The middle scene is the positioning and key of all stories; The foreground is the connection point between the stage and the audience, which is equivalent to the position of the band, through which more details can be displayed.

However, the reality is that not all photos have these three points, and some even have no front and back at all, only a simple plane.

So, how do we make use of the prospect?

The foreground must contain some interesting elements, such as people, flowers and trees, sails and so on. After adding it, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that your picture is much deeper and feels a little "three-dimensional".

In addition, warm reminder, we add foreground because they can increase the impact of photos. If you can't meet this requirement, don't impose prospects for the sake of increasing them! Because inappropriate or chaotic prospects will destroy our harmonious picture and distract the audience, don't gild the lily at this time. Remember, everything in the photo is for the subject.

In fact, the prospect need not be too complicated. Sometimes a simple figure or line can create unexpected effects.

Generally speaking, think about the composition before taking pictures and boldly join the foreground. This is a way to make the photos unique and let the audience be there!

Come on!
