What are the characteristics of a good photo?

Good composition is an essential skill for a good work, whether it is trichotomy, parallelism, guiding line, etc. It can not only highlight the subject, but also increase the readability of the photo, making it easier for people to understand the content of the photo.

Capture emotions

Emotion is a powerful language for communication between people. The more you can capture emotions, the more you can touch the hearts of the audience. For example, the excitement of the bridesmaid on the left, or the laughter of the father and daughter on the right, all make the work look better. So always observe the emotional changes of the subject, such as hearing funny jokes and laughing all over the room, which is a good time to shoot.

3. Pictures tell stories

Works that can tell stories are always excellent works. You can refer to many documentaries or photos of news photographers to bring out people's motives, behaviors, backgrounds, interactions or feelings at that time. (It is usually easier to do photos with action or interaction)

4. Keep your imagination.

Photos can provide enough information to tell a complete story, which is a good method. However, just like a novel to a movie, it is often more fascinating not to show all the contents and reserve space for people to supplement the content of the story with imagination.

Capture iconic moments

Just like some famous scenes in movies, every activity or event will have some symbolic moments, or some actions will have strong symbolic significance, and these works will be impressive.

Shoot something special.

Special things always attract people's attention. To make photos interesting, look for something different. For example, in Beijing, Chinese and western weddings are very common, so let's shoot Indian weddings.

7. juxtaposition and opposition

Shooting things that are conceptually opposite together will have a strong effect and make the photos interesting.

8. Unique light and color

Excellent light is an essential element of all photos, and finding good light and color is an important job for photographers.

9. Show subtle differences that have been ignored

This is an era of fast food and haste. People who shoot well and have good activities often pursue the way of "reaching the standard" and "being quick and accurate" and only pay attention to "key points". Therefore, some scenery that can only be seen after leaving people's focus often becomes excellent works.
