The shooting method for enhancing the aerial perspective effect comprises the following steps

The shooting methods to enhance the aerial perspective effect are: smoking, backlighting and side backlighting.

1, smoke

Under normal circumstances, morning and evening are often the time periods with good aerial perspective effect. Because, at this time, the air humidity is relatively high, and the sunshine is oblique and soft. Especially the morning fog, can better reflect the ideal perspective effect.

However, because the shooting cycle is short and fleeting, some photographers must take the method of leaving early and returning late, and wait patiently for the opportunity to capture the shooting. In the scene without fog, you can also shoot with the help of smoke and steam, or use image software to atomize the local part of the picture to create an aerial perspective effect.

2. Backlighting

Backlight shooting in the morning can effectively improve the aerial perspective effect. At this time, the air humidity is high, and the sun shines obliquely and softly. Due to different media in the air (such as rain, snow, fog, etc. ), the color composition has changed from far to near.

Mainly manifested in the dark foreground and bright background; The foreground color saturation is high and the background color saturation is low. In this way, the whole picture is from far to near, and the color is from shallow to deep, and from shallow to deep, forming a subtle sense of spatial depth, which is conducive to expressing spatial depth and spatial position of objects.

3. Side backlight

When the light comes from the back of the subject and forms an angle of about135 with the shooting direction, this light is a side backlight. This kind of light makes the dark part of the subject bigger and the light receiving area smaller, so it has strong expressive force.

This kind of light can adjust the proportional relationship between the light receiving surface and the shadow surface of the subject by choosing the shooting angle and time to achieve the desired effect. Taking a portrait with side backlight will get a beautiful outline and the face will be too dark, so you need a reflector to fill the face.

Brief introduction of air perspective

The so-called aerial perspective refers to the visual phenomenon that people can see a significant difference between the nearby scenery and the distant scenery due to the influence of air media (such as rain, snow, fog, smoke, etc.). Photography creation with the help of air perspective is conducive to expressing the spatial depth of the picture and the spatial position of the object, and plays an important role in creating artistic conception and enhancing the value of the work.
