How to shoot documentary photography well

1. Take your camera and don't miss any shooting opportunities.

We find that the success of many documentary works lies not in photography skills, but in the timely recording. But it is precisely this that many people have not done. Think about it carefully, in fact, there is a very common situation: when we see a picture worth recording in the street, we find that we don't have a SLR camera. Although we can still take these scenes with our mobile phones, the quality is not guaranteed. So it is a very important good habit to carry a SLR camera with you when you go out.

2. Show different cultures or reflect social phenomena.

Excellent documentary photography must have depth. Through it, it can reflect the humanistic atmosphere and let the audience know the living conditions of different regions, cultures and people. Or it can show social phenomena and cause people to think. Just like any form of artistic creation, the best works must not only stay on the surface, but also have profound connotations.

Recording different cultures can broaden people's horizons. We are often used to living in the surrounding environment, but we never think about what other people in the world are doing and what kind of environment they are in. The works that truly reflect these contents can make us suddenly realize that there are such a group of people in the world with such a lifestyle and culture! And these are often very fresh and interesting to us.

Reflecting social phenomena refers to reflecting social hotspots through the side of works: what problems people are concerned about, how their living conditions are, and why. Let's think.

3. Highlight the touching elements in the picture.

Good documentary photography must have prominent themes and themes, and the pictures are clean and concise. In other words, it is necessary to highlight the touching or unique parts of the picture, while other contents will not distract attention.

4. use? Continuous shooting+Jiao Jiao? Increase the chances of success

Because wonderful moments are often fleeting, it is suggested to use the continuous shooting function of the camera and adopt the artificial intelligence servo autofocus mode to pursue the focus when shooting documentary works. Especially when shooting moving people or objects, focusing is very important. Because, if you use a single focus, it is very likely that the subject will shift during the shooting process, which will lead to the situation of virtual shooting. Therefore, we found that professional photographers who shoot documentary works generally use EOS 1DX or EOS 5D Mark III, which has strong focusing and continuous shooting abilities.
