How to shoot the beauty in your eyes with a camera?

Last night, I listened to Qiqi Mushroom's cool sharing, "12 pictures teach us to shoot delicious food &; Still Life, the opening remarks of July 7th are very touching:

Because we love life, we can't bear to miss the beauty, so we should pick up the camera and aim at life, aim at the dining table, release our understanding of the beauty of life, and take pictures of the beauty in our eyes with the camera.

Yes, when we are faced with sumptuous food at the dining table, or receive beautiful bouquets from our husbands or boyfriends, we all want to take pictures of these warm and beautiful scenes in our lives. If you always feel that your photos are always missing something, or you can't capture people's hearts better, you may wish to take a look at six tips shared by Qiqi next time, which may bring you some thinking and inspiration, making it easier and better for you to take pictures of your heart next time.

There are many filter effects in the current camera app. Many people like to add the dreamy effect of yellow, green and blue. These later stages are understandable in suitable scenes, but the correct white balance is the most important. The closer to the color of the real world, the more real the atmosphere will be, and the easier it will be for readers to have a sense of reality.

Qiqi shared a map of Zhang Qun. You can analyze it yourself.

In fact, it is not difficult to see that these photos are more or less blue, yellow and green. At first glance, the colors look good, but in fact, if you watch them too much, you will feel uncomfortable, because these colors are not the original colors of food or life, which will make readers feel fake. Therefore, in order to truly restore the picture, we should first abandon the color cast and exaggerated filter effect, and don't add colors that are not in the original world to our photos.

However, if you like photos with strong colors, July 7th can greatly improve the saturation of the picture and make the items fuller, brighter and more eye-catching, which can be called "from life, higher than life".

In the textbook of New York Institute of Photography, there are three criteria for a good photo:

1) photos should have a distinct theme.

2) The photos must attract the attention of the subject.

3) Try to be concise.

Qiqi tells us that you want to achieve this effect in the simplest way. You can try to make the picture only the subject you want to shoot and nothing else. Or rudely push irrelevant things aside and fill the picture with the main body.

To be more complicated, if there are really many things to shoot in the picture, we should use the skills of prioritizing and color contrast to make readers pay more attention to our subjects.

Many people always say that they don't know where to start taking pictures. July 7th tells us with three photos of flowers that we should find the starting point according to the characteristics of different things and different scenes.

Qiqi stressed that this is her point of view and angle, because she thinks it is beautiful from this angle. Of course, others don't think so, even if others don't agree, there is no need to worry. This is a world of seeking common ground while reserving differences.

As ansel adams said, what we bring to photography is the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have listened to and the people we have loved. Different perspectives, values and world views will have different photo entry points. Photography is interesting because of such a state of blooming flowers.

In addition, I remember a classmate's doubts in the "Vision of the Heart" photography group a few days ago, saying that I always feel that my photography is limited, because the place where I take pictures at home is a table by the window, so it seems that every time I take pictures, I feel that there are only a few angles, and there is nothing new. At that time, Qiqi's suggestion was to develop the balcony at home, and besides tables, you can also use stools and the like. In addition, it is really necessary to change the topic to be more innovative. She immediately shared a group of photos taken by herself at the same table but from different angles, which is of great reference value, and everyone can feel it for themselves.

Anyone who has experience in shooting knows the importance of light to shooting. The presentation of different textures in photos is not so much the function of acquired PS as the function of innate light.

Soft light on cloudy days, direct sunlight, light passing through clouds, twilight in the evening and silver light on rainy days are all gifts from nature. As long as you can feel the light in different time periods and different weather conditions, you will be able to take photos with rich texture and engraved with real life.

In still life shooting, Qiqi is very good at superimposing different elements to show the beauty of various objects.

She told us with many years of shooting experience that in fact, photography does not need to use too many composition methods to restrain and limit itself. In fact, different compositions present different feelings and are often arranged according to needs.

But in order to make the photos look good, she summed up eight words: airtight and uneven.

Creating a photo atmosphere is to make readers feel immersive. To this end, you can try to add a person and a hand to the photo, which will give the reader a sense of substitution and make the picture more vivid. At the same time, running water and smoking can also give people a feeling of dynamic pictures.

By making good use of these tips, I believe we can all take better and warmer photos of our lives.

The photos are all Qiqi, who shared them at the sharing meeting. Please don't use them for other purposes.
