Why don't the photos you took look good?

Mobile phone photography used to be a bad topic for us, but some photographers still said, why don't my photos look good? Except for others who have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering the beauty and artistic talent brought by nature, others may know more about the connotation of photography. The following mobile phone photography tips may give you some help!

1, keep your background simple: photography is subtraction, the simpler your background, the more prominent the subject. Before you press the shutter, you should think about what you want to shoot. If the background is too messy and complicated, you have to choose. Photography is not a hodgepodge. You don't shoot everything you see, but choose the corresponding background and theme, better combine your feelings, and then shoot it. This is a successful work.

2, no composition: learning composition is not to let you show off how awesome your photography knowledge is, but to let you know how to present a good picture better and more comfortably in the shooting process. Golden section and symmetrical composition are the most commonly used composition methods for beginners and photographers. Try these two when you can't compose music!

3. Start to understand the depth of field: When it comes to depth of field, beginners may look awkward, but you must understand this term. Baidu Encyclopedia's explanation of depth of field refers to the range of the distance between the front and back of the subject measured by imaging in front of the camera lens or other imagers. Generally speaking, the scene is clearly displayed and does not fall into the range of fuzzy areas, which is called depth of field. In mobile phone photography, the farther the distance, the greater the depth of field and the clearer the subject background; The closer the distance, the smaller the depth of field, the clearer the subject and the more blurred the background.

4. Understand the relationship between subject and companion: All arts have subjects and companions. Understanding the relationship between subject and companion can better balance the picture. The subject is the core of your photo, and the partner is mainly used to highlight the subject and deepen the connotation of the subject, but try not to usurp the role of the master in the shooting process. Making good use of the relationship between subject and companion can effectively make the picture more impactful and readable.

5. Start learning manual focusing: Although most mobile phones can focus automatically, manual focusing can make us focus more accurately, and of course it can also reflect your constraints. By learning manual focusing, we can better grasp the relationship between foreground, middle scene and foreground, and make the picture layered and textured. Of course, if you think the photos are too ordinary, you can lower the angle appropriately, adjust the plane position and take more interesting photos!

6, close-up: If you want to shoot a person and feel that the overall shooting is really not good-looking, then try to shoot a part! In fact, many photographers will choose the parts that can reflect the characteristics of the characters when taking portraits, so you can take any close-up of your eyes, nose and mouth that you think is good!

7. Make good use of mobile phone software: ps, one of the four major witchcraft in Asia, is really not blowing. Of course, mobile phone retouching software is not as magical as computer PS, but it is also very powerful. If one can't meet your needs, then install two, so there is always a tool for you! Of course, Bian Xiao will still tell you which one works, such as provocative retouching and snapseed, which is super easy to use ~ ~ ~
