How to make your photos more colorful than others'?

Dear friends, what I want to share with you in this issue is color matching, how to shoot a visual blockbuster with a mobile phone! This issue is short, keep your eyes open and don't miss it!

1, simple color-the simpler the more attractive.

Solid color means that the color of the picture is relatively single, and it looks basically only one color, such as desert, a leaf, a small flower and so on. These scenes also have their unique charm.

As shown in the picture, this photo was taken at Sydney Opera House. This painting is basically made up of black and white. The grotesque buildings form a strong contrast shadow, which makes the picture composition more perfect. The young man in the distance acts like a golden rooster, as if this is his big stage, where beautiful and magical chapters are being staged. Have a strong sense of form and play a guiding role.

When shooting a solid color scene, you should first set the white balance mode of the mobile phone camera to avoid the failure of the automatic white balance mode. In addition, the photographer can simply modify the color in the later stage through the retouching APP to make it simpler and richer, as shown in the figure.

2. Adjacent colors-make the colors of the picture more harmonious.

The color wheel is a color table that studies the addition and mixing of colors, and the relationship between various tones can be displayed through the color wheel, as shown in the figure. Adjacent colors are colors close to each other on the color wheel, such as green, yellow-green, and yellow.

As the picture shows, the purple sea of flowers and the blue sky are adjacent colors. When shooting, matching these two colors can not only increase the layering of the picture, but also make the picture look more harmonious.

3. Complementary colors-enhance the visual impact of the picture.

Complementary colors refer to two colors that can produce white light after mixing in a certain proportion. Common complementary colors are red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange.

As the picture shows, the sky in the picture is a complementary color composed of blue and orange, which can make the picture more colorful and reduce the sense of jumping between colors.

Because the lens of the mobile phone is small, it is doomed that its imaging quality cannot be too high, so we can use complementary colors to enhance the visual impact of the picture and make the color of the photo more eye-catching. As shown in the picture, it is a complementary color of red and green.

4. Contrast color-make the picture more eye-catching and bright.

Contrast color is mainly through selecting several contrast colors in the picture, and juxtaposing these colors with relatively large hue, saturation and lightness will produce a strong sense of jumping, which is a common color processing method in mobile phone photography.

For example, yellow and blue are warm and cool colors respectively, and their relative positions on the color wheel belong to two colors. Using these two colors in mobile phone photography can form a strong contrast and increase the visual impact of the picture, as shown in the figure.

When creating mobile phone photography, you should learn to use the contrast color in the picture to shoot. As the picture shows, the red classical architecture and the yellow lion statue are matched together, and the two contrasting colors set off each other, which increases the sublime feeling of the picture.

5, APP color matching-easy to get dazzling color effects

Of course, if the weather is bad, or the color of the scene itself is not good, then we can take photos with our mobile phone first, and then adjust the color of the picture through various apps in our mobile phone, so that we can easily get various dazzling color effects.

For example, as shown in the picture, the original picture taken for the mobile phone has low brightness and insufficient color.

Do you still remember several Meitu apps that you shared in Composition Jun 19? After shooting, open this photo in Baidu Magic Map APP, and then select the edit and tone options. By adjusting its brightness, contrast, saturation and other parameters, the color of the picture can be more vivid, as shown in the figure.
