Four skills of how to shoot indoor photography well

Lead: If you are a photographer, let me share some skills I have learned with you, hoping to make you more handy when shooting indoor spaces and buildings. If you are just a photographer, I hope these sharing will make you more interested in photography. Let's have a look!

1. Use natural light

One advantage of still photography is that nothing is moving. You can use this function to set camera values, especially shutter speed. By placing the camera on a tripod or a table, you can slow down the shutter speed very slowly to capture the ambient light to the maximum extent, even when shooting in a corner with poor light or indoors at night. If there are lights and lights, it will warm the overall atmosphere of the room, including their use to slow down the shutter speed and long exposure. You can also lower your ISO, so that you can get a clear and noise-free photo.

It is important to remember that for interior decoration, you should pay attention to balanced lighting. This means that there are no shadows too deep or highlights too bright. You want to see the details of the dark area, but the object has not completely brightened. Because we are talking about natural light, think about which day and time can best express the characteristics of indoor space. The light in the morning and evening is soft, cloudy days produce soft light, and bright super sunny days produce intense light, especially at noon, so you may want to consider the dazzling external light generated inside the shadow. Compared with photographers, I usually use these shadows as elements of an artistic photo. But the indoor space is different, not all of them are suitable.

Don't forget your 50 mm lens.

Not only is the 50mm lens closest to the human eye, but also some areas and details of a single space are not perfect. To some extent, it is an excellent space? Portrait? Lens. When using a longer lens, I found that I had to correct quite a few distorted photo edges. 50 mm, this is hardly a problem. The result is pleasant, it evokes a very natural scene and makes you feel that you are really in the scene.

3. Get the correct white balance

This is a thorny problem and has become the bane of many photographers. Most non-professional photographers ignore the white balance. This becomes especially obvious at weddings. The bride's dress looks blue, and people's faces turn magenta, but few people notice it.

Personally, I prefer the warm feeling, and all my photos tend to this direction. But note that white is still white, not yellow or cream. Remember, what attracts people is often an image, a feeling or emotion. Your photos are strong enough to make the audience emotional or resonate with them. White balance is the key to help you achieve this kind of contact with the audience.

Close shot

You may want to touch and feel the wall, flip some switches, or sit on the soft sofa. These things you want to approach, touch and feel, it is not just a visual connection, it becomes a concrete thing. The audience wants to really touch it. That's why close-ups and details are important.
