How to take photos with a black background using your mobile phone

How to take photos with a black background using your mobile phone: use a large light ratio, choose a black background cloth/board, and shoot directly in portrait mode.

1. Use a large light ratio.

Point meter at the brightest part of the subject. Under a large light ratio, the background will be completely darkened. Lower the focus frame appropriately according to exposure compensation. For the small sun on the right, reduce the exposure appropriately to make the background black.

2. Choose black background cloth/board

The black background can be black velvet, black clothes, black cardboard, black reflective boards, etc. By placing the subject in front of a black background, you can directly take photos with a pure black background.

When shooting, the focus frame of the mobile phone should be aimed at the main scene, and at the same time, the small sun on the right side of the focus frame should be appropriately lowered, so that the background captured will be darker and the main scene will be brighter and more prominent.

3. Shoot directly in portrait mode

In portrait mode, the portrait mode of Apple mobile phone uses the "stage light" effect. For the portrait mode of Huawei mobile phone, you can click " Theater light" effect. If the focus frame is aligned with the main scene, you can directly take a photo with a pure black background. It should be noted that you must be in focus when shooting. If the main scene is not in focus, you will not be able to shoot a pure black background.

Notes on taking landscape photos:

Select the shooting time: before and after sunrise and sunset, natural light has color. In most cases, evenings tend to be warmer. In the morning, sometimes it's warm and sometimes it's cold.

Parameter settings: When taking pictures of landscapes, if you want to take clearer pictures, use a small aperture. The number after the aperture must be greater than or equal to 8. Take a silhouette shot and use spot metering. If you are not shooting silhouettes, if you want to shoot with backlight and want the brightness to be even, please use matrix metering (also called evaluative metering).
