How to take good photos like a professional photographer?

On the Internet, you can see that photos taken with smart phones look like photos taken with professional cameras. How to improve the shooting quality, like the shooting effect of professional cameras? In this article, I will teach you how to shoot professional works with a smart phone just like a professional camera.

light

Photography is both simple and complicated. Without light, there would be no photography. No matter what you want to shoot, you must try to keep enough light in the picture, especially in a dark room or later in the day. Find a light source, whether it is a window, a desk lamp or a street lamp, and shoot as close as possible to the light source. This will help to avoid annoying noise and image quality degradation. If you need to shoot in the dark, but the focus of the picture is not clear, you should use manual shooting mode, so please study the settings of the camera application carefully.

If there is no light source nearby, try to make it in a smart way, such as using a conventional flashlight on your smartphone, or looking for a surface that can reflect light. For example, when shooting people, the reflector can be a person's metal surface, metal foil or even white clothes.

form

Try to change the angle, close to the theme or away from the theme, and look at it from different sides until you find the best position.

Novice photographers usually don't pay attention-look at the boundaries of the picture. Try to put only what you really want to capture into the lens. Trash cans, cars, branches and other sundries in the background should not appear in the picture.

Color matching/coordination

Here comes the fun! Creating artistic conception in photos mainly depends on your imagination and what you want to convey with photos.

If you think this painting is boring, please try to introduce a person or any other object into it. You can also create a contrast between two objects and a surface by adding highlights, for example, making the main body brighter while the rest of the objects are in shadow.

Remember, the picture is easily influenced by color, so be careful not to overuse it: try not to introduce too many colors into the picture, otherwise the picture may become a big "color block".

Don't think that black and white images will definitely become masterpieces. Use this effect only when color doesn't work in photography, so the shape and outline of the object are the most important.

portrait

Please don't look up when shooting people. Hold your smartphone at eye level or higher-in this way, you can get the correct proportion of your face and neck.

still life

If you want to shoot something or use objects to convey emotions, the same rules apply. Shoot with enough light to observe the color combination and shape of the object. Add or delete objects, use rich composition and shoot in a unified background to avoid distraction. You can use plain white paper to highlight dark shadows.

build

When shooting buildings and structures, please pay special attention to the vertical lines in the picture to avoid giving people the impression that the house is "upside down" forward or backward. To do this, you should try to move the camera and hold it above the line of sight.

Sometimes, the opposite effect may be interesting: take a close-up shot, delete some details from the picture, or just the most interesting part of the building.

The main purpose of mobile phone photography is to practice. Spend some time in this interesting activity, and you will get better results.
