Pure visual photography skills

The key point of snapshot is to capture the image and capture the moving moment of the real subject. Different from painting, the image obtained by shooting represents the object that actually existed in front of the camera. This kind of real "existence" visual shock is irreplaceable by artificial visual content. Capturing images requires the photographer to have a keen reaction, and of course appropriate skills are also essential.

1. Interesting modeling coincidence

This is related to the "visual connection" we talked about in the section of composition skills. Any interesting modeling coincidence is worthy of attention, because all kinds of modeling coincidences are visual search systems of images. With coincidence, there is a connection. Once this connection is established, the image you take will have a performance beyond the subject itself.

2. Move the light and shadow atmosphere

Light and shadow are always the first element that photographers should pay attention to. Light and shadow can be used not only to shape your subject, but also to shape the subject itself. In the field of art, only photography can fully show the beauty of light and shadow. We should always pay attention to the beauty of light and shadow. Light, light beam, smoke, wet and reflective ground, special lighting equipment, etc. Are objects that are easy to create light and shadow effects.

3. Power contrast and interesting repetitive relationship

Contrast is also a coincidence or connection, but the connection of this contrast is more tense. Contrast can be purely visual or emotional. The repetition of visual elements in the picture can sometimes increase the interest of the picture.

4. Happy moments

Examples are more important for photo photography. Because in film photography, we pay more attention to action than moment. The moment of "freeze-frame" is the way to express the action in photo photography, and the expressive force and appeal of a wonderful moment sometimes exceed the action itself.

5. Capture the status of the role

Photo photography captures the state of the characters, but actually captures the moment. People's casual state is often ignored in daily life, but once it is "solidified" in the image, it may have special appeal.

6. Theme snapshot

Thematic snapshot is a more active snapshot. Plan a performance theme in advance and make full preparations to capture it in order to achieve the best image effect. Novices can discuss and communicate the shooting theme and shooting plan with the instructor in advance. The success rate can be greatly improved by carefully predicting the shooting environment and the lighting of the shooting site and making preparations.
