What is sugar water tablets and how to make the effect of sugar water tablets?

The so-called "sugar water slice" is actually not a derogatory term, but a general term for the kind of scenery pictures that look sunny. Because it is "folk" and oral, there are many ambiguities in understanding, and no authoritative organization can give it an accurate and scientific statement.

The following will be divided into five pages to explain the production process and efficacy theory of' sugar water tablets' respectively.

Let's take a look at the following renderings first. Is it refreshing and charming? This is the typical "sugar water slice" effect.

Let's talk about the effect of' sugar water tablets' in detail:

About "sugar water tablets":

"Sugar-water tablets" refer to photographic works as sweet as sugar water, which is another name for those "pleasing to the eye, but not pleasing to the eye" photos in the photography circle.

Another way of saying it: "Sugar Water Slice" is a title of "New and New Humanity" satirizing the works of traditional photographers. A typical saying is: "Good visual sense, dull psychological sense".

* * * universality of sugar water tablets:

Perfect skin: The skill of grinding skin plays a very important role. How to eliminate the facial defects after MM dermabrasion while ensuring the clarity of facial features and retaining as many details as possible to reflect the layering (in fact, in order to pursue "perfection", the consequence of excessive dermabrasion is to make the skin lose its texture at the expense of details);

Embodiment of makeup color: Sugar water is nothing more than the word' vain', which makes people feel vain, so don't think too much about how to adjust the makeup effect of MM's original skin color (consequence: due to excessive color development, a large number of colors overflow, which is a taboo for printing);

Tone: I have seen a lot of PP, and many groups think it is' green', but it is this color that gives viewers comfortable enjoyment, and it is also this color that makes people pleasing to the eye (sugar water tablets adopt a large-scale coloring method similar to web design, which is very suitable for online viewing, but not suitable for printing because of color distortion).

Objectively evaluate sugar water tablets;

1, only technology-no art

Many sugar tablets are very technical in photography, such as aperture, focal length, white balance, sensitivity, exposure, color, color temperature, saturation, light and shade, depth of field, level, contrast and so on. They are also very particular about the cameras, lenses, films and other equipment they use, and have higher requirements for PS Kung Fu. But their understanding of "beauty" is actually more about technology; At the same time, these PS films made by various technologies are mistaken for works of art.

The basic feature of art is "imitating reality-refining reality-surpassing reality", and three stages are indispensable; And the higher level is "thought is art". Sugar water tablets mostly stay in the stage of "imitating reality". Although a few of them can reach the level of "practical reality", they have never been "beyond reality". Many sugar water tablets often mistake "beautifying reality" for "beauty" or even "surpassing reality", which is actually the biggest crux of sugar water tablets. Beautify is not beauty, but false whitewash.

The photos taken by the city's "photo studio" are typical "beautified" sugar water tablets. This kind of photo is not an artistic amplification or outstanding performance of someone's advantages, but an effort to cover up someone's shortcomings, such as making small eyes bigger by painting eyebrows or eye shadow, and covering up wrinkles on someone's face with the effect of soft lens when shooting. A man's eyes are big, but they are not hers; Although the wrinkles on the man's face are gone, the flesh-and-blood face is gone ... and the final result reflected in the photo can only be a fake face of the man!

However, the studio is also very helpless. What customers like is "truth". Here, art is inferior to money.

2, only composition-no intention

Everything in plane vision consists of diagonal lines, parallel lines, triangles, trapezoid, symmetry, asymmetry, area, volume, distance, reality, primary and secondary relations, light and heavy relations and so on. But these are only visual factors, which are part of a good photo, not all, and not the point. The important thing is what do you want this photo for? What do you want to express? If the photographer only regards composition as the most important thing in a photo, its composition is the intention of taking this photo, which is also mistaken for "beauty" and at best "formal beauty". Besides, you can't see anything in that photo. But the sensory beauty of sugar water tablets is really indelible.

3, only sensory beauty-no spiritual beauty

In fact, it is easy to achieve a superficial "beauty" to human senses. It's like showing you a "beauty", nothing more than a beautiful face and a devil's figure. Sugar water tablets really lack ideological and artistic quality. However, the existence of sugar water tablets also has its inevitability, especially like pop songs, which make many people like it. Traditional photography and sugared water films, like opera, bel canto and pop songs, one is elegant art and the other is "popular culture", which are bound to exist. However, on the issue of sugar water tablets, the studio has played a great role in fueling the flames, which is absolutely not allowed in front of strict photography art and photographers.

Mo Yi (freelance photographer) said: Our present era is actually an era lacking spiritual nutrition! What should we supply at this time? This is what we who have cameras should consider. For example, if the child lacks nutrition, you will never say that you only give the child white sugar water. So is photography. You can't say everything is sweet, just give it to him every day. The "jelly" sold in the supermarket is children's favorite, but parents are most afraid that their children will eat too much!

Some photographers believe that beginners should also learn how to take "sugar water tablets", how to take this photo, from which angle, and what kind of composition to achieve a kind of beauty, and then make a breakthrough.

Generally speaking, if the "sugar water slice" is regarded as the "mass" photography culture, its existence is understandable in a certain period of time.
