Characteristics and main points of mobile phone photography

1, the dichotomy should be kept in mind.

Three-point composition is the most basic and practical composition method, which can make the picture structure look harmonious and comfortable. For example, taking a picture of a person can be placed in one third of the left picture.

2. Eyes can talk

When we take people as the main body, the eyes are definitely an element that cannot be ignored. As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. If you capture the changeable eyes, you capture the artistic conception of the picture. As for how to capture, we need to practice more at ordinary times.

3. Use light and shadow to create dramatic tension.

From the facial contour shaped by side light to the silhouette effect formed by backlight, the tension of the picture can be strengthened and the story sense of the play can be greatly increased. In short, learn to use light and shadow, and you are not far from becoming a master.

4. simplicity is beauty

It is enough for a photo to have a clear theme/protagonist. Simple photos often have more visual impact, and the popularity of minimalism is not groundless. A few lines or a clean cup can be used as the center of the whole picture, leaving the rest blank, so that the viewer has room for imagination.

5. Make full use of depth of field

Nowadays, many mobile phones can achieve a "blurred" depth of field effect, so that we can continue to take satisfactory photos in a messy background. You can also add foreground and then open the aperture, so that the picture of the combination of reality and reality will not be the same.

6. Shutter speed is magic.

Everyone has seen the floating girl under the high-speed shutter, or the water flow, light graffiti and crowd traffic under the slow shutter. The secret of this photo operation is to slow down the shutter speed. If possible, it is recommended to bring a bracket to help the mobile phone keep stable. As long as you dare to try, your photos are the embodiment of magic.

7. Change your point of view from an angle

Why are most people's photos so boring? Because most photos are the same angle and look the same, but as long as you change the angle, the photos will become more exciting. Shoot from above, shoot from behind, squat down and even shoot on the ground. A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets, and taking pictures is the same.

8. Contrast is a big move.

Whether it's black dialogue, light versus dark, red versus green, big versus small, hard versus soft, good versus evil, as long as there is contrast, photos are easy to show contrast. This contrast will be more eye-catching in plain monochrome photos.

9. Close shot, a little closer.

The lens of mobile phone is very small, but its trend is that it can be shot at close range or even macro, especially when shooting flowers or still life, which will have a good depth of field, and the effect of rational use of mobile phone will be better.

10, use the manual focus in the mobile phone.

Nowadays, many mobile phones have manual mode, which is rarely used, especially when shooting macro. Sometimes autofocus is not the effect you want, you can use manual focusing, which may have unexpected effects.
