How to shoot the shadow in the sun

Everyone knows that where there is light, there is shadow, and everyone knows that photography is a game to capture light and shadow. Learning to use light and shadow can actually make our photos look more artistic and creative. How to shoot the shadow in the sun? Let me introduce you to the shooting skills!

1. Try to adjust the ratio of shadow to theme: If you want to change the ratio of shadow to specific objects, you might as well make specific objects look like shadows of shadows. This "mismatched" way can arouse our audience's thinking more than normal shooting.

2. Pay attention to the pattern left by the shadow: many people don't pay attention. Shadows are not all parallel. Even in the same place, the shadows will be different because of the different light receiving surfaces. Sometimes all kinds of shadow patterns are superimposed together to form artistic photos.

3. Try to interact with the shadow and take parent-child photos: When taking a baby, sometimes the child does not cooperate. The photos taken at this time will make us feel bad, either the figure is too exaggerated or the child's expression is not ideal. At this time, we might as well try to interact with children from another angle and shape the intimate relationship between parents and children with shadows.

4. Self-portrait: Some people want to show themselves, but they are worried that self-portrait will not be photogenic. At this time, choosing self-portrait is a good way to meet your needs of showing this without photogenic.

5. Add "tattoos" to the scene to make it more interesting: sometimes taking pictures alone will make the appearance of the scene boring. At this time, you can try to add "tattoos" to the scene with shadows.

6. Silhouette of the shooting scene: Strictly speaking, silhouette is not a shadow, but an underexposed scene under the backlight. However, when the silhouette of the scene is added with the shadow it casts, it will also form an interesting picture.

The above is about how to shoot shadows in the sun. If you like shooting, you can refer to the shadow shooting method above, and you can definitely take beautiful and creative photos. I hope I can help you!
