Art photo shooting skills

There is a lot of stress in taking art photos. Here are the techniques I shared for taking art photos. Let's have a look.

(1) Move your camera

It is a very important skill to "take clear photos" when learning photography for the first time, but sometimes it is better to deliberately slow down the shutter and move the camera purposefully, so as to take more artistic photos! But when shooting, you need to pay attention to:

If the shutter is too slow, it will cause overexposure. If you need to lower the aperture and reduce ISO movement, you'd better move by "track" (such as vertical or circular), otherwise the photos may become too messy in the same scene. You can try a faster or slower shutter to get different effects!

(2) Shooting moving objects

Similar to the first point, we also take art photos by "moving", but instead of moving our own camera, we take pictures of "moving objects", such as walking cars and playing dogs. The shutter of the camera can be adjusted according to the moving speed of the object. If the moving object is fast, the camera shutter doesn't have to be too slow, otherwise the whole photo will be blurred (unless you do it on purpose). If the camera (you) moves towards the object at the moment of pressing the shutter, the background will become blurred and the subject will become clear. This is the way of "panning"!

(3) Take a clean photo

It is also a good way to take artistic photos, remove unwanted things from photos and take very clean photos! One of the most useful techniques is to shoot a small part of the big environment with a telephoto lens, such as a small spray on the whole beach or a small area of other common objects, which can achieve the same effect. It would be better if the shooting is simple, monochrome or with interesting textures!

(4) Shooting through other objects

"Shooting through other objects" is also a common skill, which can be plastic bottles, glass, even leaves, grass, liquid and so on! Let your creativity play freely!

(5) Make good use of multiple exposures

Now many digital cameras also have the function of "multiple exposure". As long as you turn on the relevant options, shoot two or more objects in a row, and let different pictures be exposed on the same photo at the same time, the combination will become more abstract and artistic! However, it should be noted that when shooting, attention should be paid to keeping black/dark places to expose the next photo!
