How can architectural photography produce large-scale architectural films with aesthetic feeling?

Look at a beautiful and eye-catching architectural photo. What do these architectural photos usually have in common? We can see that the elements used by photographers in photos are very important and are the key points to make images stand out. Let's take a look at seven ways to create beautiful and eye-catching architectural photos.

1. Select a theme and use the bisection method to determine the position of the focus in the image.

Trigonometry is the basis of composition, and all types of photography usually rely on this rule of thumb in composition. Once the theme and the presentation method of the picture story are selected, the image positioning can choose to put the subject at the intersection, or in the middle or one third of the picture, which will help us decide where to put the interest point.

2. There are guiding lines to determine the direction of movement and the position of eyes.

We already know that guiding the journey of the eye responsible for drawing and routing to the position we want will draw to the focus of the image, and vice versa, focusing on some lines can also keep the line of sight away from the focus. So be sure to choose the lead that leads to the picture.

3. Leave a blank at the top of the main body.

Leave some space at the top of the subject to create a feeling of less claustrophobia or pressure, which is similar to leaving some space at the top when shooting a portrait, because it makes the image look more space. So when we take photos of urban buildings to determine the theme, we often leave some space on them to make it look spatial.

4. Create a frame to set the focus and choose the appropriate size for the image.

Create a frame, set the focus and convey some ideas to the audience. By limiting the field of vision to only the points needed in the picture, we can use the bridge structure, tunnel or foreground frame to observe the buildings or angles we want to see immediately when looking at the picture.

5. Use negative space to separate the theme from other elements and enhance the uniqueness of the theme.

Paying attention to the structure, shape or design of the building to be presented can release the photo space, and using negative space photography technology can help to isolate the structure and force, and emphasize the viewer's concern for the subject, because there are no other elements in the whole picture that can divert attention from the building or the building.

6. Pay attention to the horizon arrangement of the image to avoid the sense of photo imbalance.

The horizon, in addition to the lines and directions of the image, can also stimulate the viewer's senses. If the horizon is tilted or the image is tilted

(Intentional tilt) usually means imbalance, and tilting the horizon must be avoided, because it will lead to the wrong way of the image, unless trying to shoot some creative angles is another topic.

7. A strange and brand-new perspective makes the picture look very eye-catching.

This may be a way that requires more effort and creativity. Because watching an image that looks beautiful for a long time or often will become a habit. Looking at the pictures from the same angle and the same perspective, the photos we take may look the same as those of other photographers. Imagine there are several pictures on the wall, all of which look the same from the same angle. If an image looks different, we will immediately attract our attention and focus on it.

So trying to present this place with different lights from different angles may change the standing angle, from the head-up angle to the bending angle, and use the depression angle or high angle or other elements to help make the image look different, which will attract the attention of the audience.
