Shandong photography bug

? What I bring to you this time is an article about improving aesthetics.

Many friends who have been exposed to many photo groups before will take out a photo of their mobile phone and ask how this is in the group. Of course, because many are novices, there won't be many excellent photos jumping out.

In the process of contact with them, I gradually found that aesthetics is one of their shortcomings.

For example, a photography group, a student who has taught in Tibetan areas, posted a lot of natural scenery in Tibet, but due to the lack of certain aesthetics, the photos taken are a pity.

This example is just to illustrate the importance of aesthetics, because later we will gradually discover that aesthetics is a very important ability.

So, today we will introduce some photography websites that can improve our aesthetics.

First, the aesthetic photography website guide

I believe everyone has heard of this website more or less. This professional photographer's photography community was established in Canada in 2003, bringing together outstanding photographers and photographic works from all over the world.

Believe me, this website can definitely improve the aesthetic level. When I don't know what subject to shoot, I often go to this website to search for inspiration and collect some excellent works to enhance my aesthetics.

Here are some photographers worthy of attention:

Max R.

Natural scenery photographer. Max Rive's works give people a strong sense of visual impact.

Johannes Hulsch is a travel photographer and a curious explorer.

Yang Andi

This is a photographer who shoots architecture in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is really a very suitable city for filming. The photographer took a camera and photographed his understanding of Hong Kong.

Thumb's slogan is "The best photographer is here".

Tushu is a great photography platform in China, founded by a group of senior photographers, providing the most professional photography community service for all photographers. There are many excellent photos here. There are also large and small photo competitions on the website every month, which is also very interesting.

Here are some photographers I personally like:

Thomas, look at the world.

A very good landscape photographer often shares his photographic experience selflessly.

Teacher Lao Piao Piao's works are full of strong appeal, both photographic works and later works are full of imagination.

An organization founded by Mr. Han Song publishes mobile phone photography, which can be collected by friends who like minimalist and storytelling photos.

Uncle Tu also recently launched a short video channel, which also has very high-quality video resources. Every video has its own story, and every frame is a blockbuster.

3、IPPA

IPPA is a mobile phone photography competition initiated by Apple only for Apple users. This website has excellent mobile phone photography works over the years, with more than a dozen categories. As a mobile phone photographer, this website is highly recommended. Just find the category you are interested in in in the gallery.

4. Weibo

There are also many excellent photographers in Weibo. Compared with other platforms, Weibo may be the most commonly used app, and it may be more convenient to enhance your aesthetics through this channel. Here are some photographers:

Lin Chuhan

A popular blogger in Weibo and a photographer in Hangzhou. What I like best is her snow scene of Otarus in the North Sea, just like animation.

Travel photographer, I don't know if you've heard of the profession of travel experiencer (that is, the kind that you can make money by taking photos …). Photographer's Weibo has a lot of beautiful scenery for traveling, which is suitable for improving his own aesthetics.

This blogger created a label on Weibo, called sensory dreaming. If you are a friend who likes portrait shooting, go to his Weibo and have a look. It is very effective.

5. Attic

This is also an amazing photography platform. LOFTER community gathers quality life experts in many fields, including 14 interest channel. Committed to building the most quality fashion life community.

Of course, there are also photo sales websites such as Heluo Creative and 7X, which are cool, so I won't introduce them in detail. After all, the above content spans a lot.

At the same time, in order to take care of overseas fans who have made progress in a week, some foreign photography communities are provided here (scientific internet access is needed).

6、instagram

The well-known picture community mobile phone, where you can see the changes of the whole world, the details of life, the feelings of travel, the scenery with photos and the temptation of food. ...

Of course, to enhance the aesthetic feeling, we only need to search for tags: such as VSCO, iPhone, Photoshop, instagram, photography and so on.

7、Flickr

A very famous photo community website abroad has a powerful photo album function and a rich group exchange community.

Second, the management of aesthetic process.

Having introduced so much, I don't want everyone to just click on the collection in the upper right corner and then stop managing it. What I hope more is that you can add these websites to your favorites and open them every day.

Here is an extension tool called Petals. Just install one in the Chrome browser.

After that, you can collect your favorite pictures or inspirations on any website. Then go to your petal home page to check.

Of course, you can also use a simple and rude right click-save as method to save it locally for folder classification.

In addition, you can also choose some special image management tools for classified management.

Third, thinking about aesthetics.

The improvement of aesthetic ability takes time to accumulate, and there is no such thing as reaching heaven in one step. Even those masters of photography accumulated step by step by studying thousands of books and taking the road of Wan Li when they were young.

Good aesthetics is of great help to photography skills. If you are a beginner in photography, I hope you can develop the habit of improving your aesthetics-contact these photography websites every day, analyze and understand the contents one by one, ask more why, and look at the colors, composition, light and shadow in the photographer's works.

If you have been filming for a while, but haven't developed this habit, I hope you can gain something after reading this article.

After all, the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, followed by now.

I hope I'll be a young photographer when I see my friends next time ~
