Five forms of simplifying pictures in photography

Five forms of simplifying pictures in photography:

First, the contrast between reality and reality: the contrast between reality and reality is to use "virtual body" to set off "entity", which is often manifested as blurred depth of field, virtual shadow and slow focus. 1, blur the depth of field: blur the background with small depth of field, the subject is "real", the background foreground is blurred, the contrast between reality and reality is obvious, and the subject is prominent. Because the depth of field is small, the content of the picture is relatively simplified, which further highlights the main body.

2. Virtual shadow: Virtual shadow here generally refers to illusory things such as shadows and reflections. You can use the shape and posture of the shadow to represent the figure, or you can use the figure itself to represent the shadow. Of course, reflection is a common form of shooting. The water, river, lake or mirror on the roadside, combined with reality through reflection, makes people daydream.

Slow-door focus: Slow-door focus shooting uses a slow shutter speed to make the subjects such as bicycles, cars and motorcycles clear, while the background will be blurred because of the rotation of the lens, so as to contrast the reality and highlight the subjects.

Second, size contrast: size contrast is to set off "big" through "small". For example, in landscape photography, people or other objects that can be used as size reference are used to contrast and highlight the magnificence of the landscape, and the picture effect is more visually impactful.

Third, the contrast between light and shade: photography is an art of using light, and the contrast between light and shade will make the picture stronger. We use bright parts to set off dark parts, such as silhouette shooting, and use bright background to highlight the silhouette of dark parts. You can also use dark parts to represent bright parts, especially light projection, where the shadow area is dark and the light projection is bright, and then put the main body in the bright area to highlight the main body.

4. Static and dynamic contrast: Static and dynamic contrast means that there is a moving subject or a static subject in the picture, and the moving subject is represented by static, or the static subject is represented by motion. The combination of motion and static will make the picture more interesting.

Five, color contrast: color contrast, through intuitive color differences, hierarchical division, etc. To express the picture. The classic color contrast is to express a small area of color blocks through a large area of color blocks, such as bright flowers with surrounding green leaves to highlight flowers.
