Photography light and shadow atmosphere

How to get a sense of atmosphere when taking pictures in different poses?

Photography skills:

1, take the back

The photos behind are lonely and thoughtful, which makes people feel very story-telling.

There are the following points in taking back photos:

(1) Black and white photos are a shortcut: because the color is dark, the color itself seems to tell a long story. For example, the picture above.

(2) Contrast: Even if the whole picture is not black and white, it will make the whole picture darker, and the main characters will be more lonely when they wear bright clothes. For example, the picture below.

(3) Character posture: only the back is photographed, and the protagonist bows his head and thinks about things, or looks at the distance.

Step 2 take a shadow

Shadow photos are like a shot in a movie, which seems to be paving the way and stating, so it will make the photos look more atmospheric.

Take shadows for example, there are the following points:

(1) When you take a silhouette of a person, you should take a profile: because of the profile, the outline of the person is clearer. If people are walking, leave a blank in front of them

(2) When taking shadows, the shadows in the photos should not be too big and dense, and there should be light: this will make the photos more mottled and interesting.

3. Eyes are the key.

If you shoot people and they show their faces, let the eyes of the people in the film have stories. Because of the existing photos, the audience will pay attention to people first, and people will pay attention to people's eyes first.

Take a look, there are the following points:

(1) Guidance: Eyes with stories don't come casually. If you are not a professional model, you need a photographer to guide you. You can ask the photographer to take his eyes away from the camera, look at the distance, be quiet for a while, and guide him to think about things, remember and miss old friends, and those eyes with a sense of story will come out.

(2) Be natural: For example, in the picture below, the trace of posing is too obvious, and no one will suddenly turn back to do this action when walking. It's unnatural, the traces of man-made are obvious, and the sense of story is gone.

4. Shoot some small corners of life.

Corners in daily life will also remind others of similar scenes, and photos will resonate with the viewers, and the sense of story will come out.

Pat the corner, there are the following points:

(1) Take a corner with a sense of time: with a sense of time, a sense of story and atmosphere will come out, and with light and shadow, photos can be more beautiful.

(2) Shooting details: Shooting some small details, so that the viewer seems to be in the shooting environment, increasing the sense of environment, and the sense of story will come out.

5. Depth and blur

Photos with a sense of depth and blurred prospects have a stronger sense of atmosphere. The vague prospect is like the foreshadowing before telling a story. When the story is told, the clear subject can look forward along the depth.

Using depth and blur to take pictures has the following points:

(1) The distance between the foreground and the subject of foreground blur should be enough: the distance is enough, the blur effect is good, and the depth is long enough, and the story will increase with the increase of guidance time.

(2) Clarity: the blurring of the foreground is the foundation, the visual subject must be clear, and the main points of the photos are prominent, so that the story with a sense of story has a foothold.

Step 6 compare

There is contrast and tension in the picture. Some people's photos have a sense of story, and combining with contrast will make the photos more emotional. Using contrast to take pictures has the following points:

Contrast between light and shade: There are many contrasts in photography, but the contrast between light and shade can best reflect the sense of story.

7. Pat the lamp

Some photos emphasize shadows, while others emphasize light. The above photography techniques can be used together.

Photos with a sense of atmosphere and stories are basically inseparable from these shooting techniques introduced above. You can practice against them at ordinary times, which is of great help to improve your photography skills.
