How to shoot Japanese small fresh (serious)

About Xiao Qingxin, there was a wonderful tutorial before, and this time I brought a serious article to introduce the typesetting and shooting skills of Japanese Xiao Qingxin photos. What's unique about the photos taken by Japanese photographers? Generally speaking, it has the following characteristics: more natural light, more white background, simpler, lower chromaticity and contrast, and softer. In Japanese style shooting, "how to view the scenery" plays a very important role. Please remember a key point: harmony. The photos look harmonious, and Japanese style will naturally appear. This time, the author aims to shoot still life, including food, groceries and indoor space, which can be shot at home. Indoor shooting skills 1, using natural light window light is the most important element, you can shoot natural colors. Pay attention to turn off other lights when shooting. If the light source is insufficient, you can use a reflector to increase the aperture. (White cardboard, pearl board or cloth is also acceptable. ) If necessary, please use a tripod instead of a flash, because the hard light of the flash makes the object look incongruous. 2. Pay close attention to the change of sunshine. The color temperature is different when shooting at different times. You might as well pay attention to the change of sunshine all day, and you will find a heavy blue color before sunrise and after sunset, which is a cold color temperature; It's warm in the morning and afternoon in Huang Tiao. Avoid shooting at noon, the sun is soft. If you shoot in the early morning or before dark, don't have a flavor. If the background is too messy, the photos will not highlight the theme, so please keep the picture simple and clean. If you have difficulty, you can cover the extra objects with cloth. Composition and framing skills 1, there should be enough white space, keep the picture simple, separate the objects slightly, and use the white space technique. A clean wall, floor or dining table is a good background choice. If it is too monotonous, you can spread a patterned tablecloth or hang it as a background. 2, the style and color of unified items As long as the style is unified, it will not be too messy to put more items. In order to show a sense of harmony, the color of the object need not be too strong. You might as well use a series of similar tones and then add some decorative colors, such as white furnishings with brown objects. 3. Think about the shooting angle, and shoot something that can show a sharp plane from directly above; Things with height can be shot obliquely from above or from the front; A close-up of a close-up part. Different angles have different feelings. You can hang up the object and shoot it if necessary. Making up a short story is not simply to put it in a good position. If we can make the image story through arrangement, then the work can add artistic conception. Every object has its meaning. Think about what objects you need to use in this painting to express your feelings. Of course, you can also take continuous or a series of photos to tell a story. It is very important to take the time to set the style scene. Below I suggest several styles as a reference: 1. Simple style is mainly monochrome, avoiding using too many colors. Don't think about how to add things, think about how to subtract things. The key is to strike a balance in collocation, because an overly simple picture will make people feel lonely. Recommended gadgets: old cloth, wooden boards, paper with seals or old stamps, old things 2, cute style is quite suitable for taking pictures of food and desserts. Not limited to western style, you can try any combination as long as it makes you feel cute. Different patterns of fabrics are good, but we should pay attention to the balance between patterns and objects, and the size of patterns should be the same as objects. If you want to put feminine decorations, one is enough. Recommended small things: flowered cloth, plaid cloth, lace and ribbon. 3. The natural wind is based on the tone of the earth, creating a proper sense of life. The material should be simple, among which wooden items are the most commonly used props, and flowers can also be inserted. Shooting with a little yellow sunshine in the afternoon can create an atmosphere. Recommended small things: wood products, creased or unfinished linen, old things? 0? 2 actual comparison examples Finally, the author shares different examples for your comparison. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to decorate carefully, but the author only shoots in daily life, and the effect of not deliberately creating a layout is not bad for your reference. ? 0? 2 Different perspectives, different feelings and emphases? 0? 2 Different color temperatures not only feel different, but also present a safe and beautiful angle in time. The simplest angle is changed, and the background is completely different. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to shoot Japanese style. Take some time to find simplicity and beauty! Make good use of natural light and use reflector to assist.
