Do models need to wear shoes to take pictures by the water?

No need. If you don't wear shoes, the picture won't look good.

Water is the source of life. Where there is water, we can also take many beautiful photos. Photography self-study class, this course, is to introduce to friends what photography skills can help you take beautiful photos by the river and the sea.

Starting from Formula 4 of Waterfront Photography Skills:

It is cloudy after the rain. There are rocks and cliffs.

Coloring and adding words are more colorful. Compare the depth of the branches.

Explain the corresponding photography skills through specific photos and formulas:

1, cloudy after the rain, take pictures in the morning and evening.

If the water's edge is relatively empty, there is no specific scenery nearby except water, or there are only distant scenery above the water, this situation should be shot like this:

(1) enrich the scenery: check the weather forecast before shooting. Because there are few scenes on the ground and water, and the scenery is too empty, you should choose to shoot before rain, after rain, or under other cloudy conditions. At this time, the sky and water will be richer because of clouds.

(2) Grasp the shooting time: the clouds are white, but in the early morning or evening, the clouds are colored. Master the local sunrise and sunset time from online search. Within half an hour before and after sunrise and sunset, the color of the seaside light is the last, which is suitable for shooting at this time.

(3) If there is a scene far away from the water, it can be centered or located below, not close to the top frame of the photo, and at the same time ensure that the horizontal line is horizontal, so that the waterscape photo is more stable and not crowded.

2. There are rocks and cliffs, and follow the trend.

Some beaches or rivers have cliffs, reefs, aquatic plants, ships and so on. We should make good use of these scenes:

When the lines are not obvious: If these scenes and lines are not obvious, pay attention to the close shot, middle shot and distant shot in the photo, which are located on one side of the photo and the water is on the other side, so that the photo has a layered feeling and a contrast between "full" and "empty", and the tension is stronger.

When the lines are obvious: when the lines of the shore scenery are obvious, make good use of these lines when shooting, and shoot along the line so that the lines point to the distance. These lines can play the role of guiding the viewer's line of sight and make the photos have a better sense of depth and directivity. Common routes include cliff stone carvings, bridges and so on.
