Highlights of Casablanca shooting: exotic customs, gorgeous patterns and religious buildings.

There are mosques in almost every city in Morocco, and the most obvious sign is the high tower for preaching. The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is particularly prominent. One third of its area is built on the sea, making it the only temple in Morocco open to foreign tourists.

The mosque is dominated by ivory white and mint green. The exquisite mosaic on the wall is original, and the marble on the ground shines. It is foggy in the morning and the visibility is low. It is suggested to arrange a visit in the afternoon.

Shooting guide

Symmetrical composition:

The door with complex patterns is like a curtain, facing the door, and the photographer can play freely in front of this "curtain" or record a Muslim figure passing by accidentally;

The large window inside the mosque is symmetrical up and down due to the reflection of the marble floor, and the figure standing in front is more mysterious;

The cloister of the mosque is also a good location, and the pillars on both sides divide the picture into two sides. Frame composition

No matter inside or outside the mosque, you can find a "framework" to make a prospect. This composition makes the building more layered and focused.

Forward-looking shooting

The bank next to the mosque has always been a photographer's dream place. Here, you can intuitively capture the wonderful artistic conception of the intersection of mosque and the sea. When the tide ebbs at night, the lights of the mosque will light up and the night scene will have a different flavor.

Dress advice

Islamic buildings such as mosques and seminaries in Morocco are very complex and gorgeous in appearance. Before large-scale flower arrangement, you can try purple, pink and blue with high saturation, which is in sharp contrast with the white and green tones of the mosque. Or choose a solid color top+color background, which has a high degree of integration with the background and is exotic. A white dress is also a good choice, adding a touch of coolness to the hot weather in North Africa.

Similar building recommendation

There are many such buildings with Islamic characteristics in the local area, and elegant decoration and structure are a must-see sight when you come to Morocco.

The Ali Ben Yosef Theological Seminary in Marrakech is also a holy place for online celebrities to punch cards. Its colors are mainly khaki and turquoise. Abu Inan Theological Seminary in Fez is similar in architectural structure, but slightly different in decoration style. It is suggested to choose either one for sightseeing.

Chev Shawan's Shooting Highlights: Blue Town and Street Cat

Many people's first impression of Morocco comes from the blue alleys of Chev Bay. At first, the town was painted blue to prevent mosquitoes. Later, local residents spontaneously painted doors, steps, stairs, window sills, flower stands, mailboxes and even all the places that the eyes could see.

Shooting inspiration:

Chev Shawan is surrounded by a strong fairy tale atmosphere. Blue walls, doors and windows allow people to take satisfactory photos without painstaking efforts. They can slowly sculpt themselves, or they can record a local passing by an alley and a cat wandering in it. These are good shooting subjects, and even newcomers will come here to take wedding photos.

Recommended wear:

Yellow and orange are contrasting colors with blue, which stand out particularly against the blue background.

The pure white and blue background is more gentle, and with bright items, it adds a sense of liveliness;

Using red in a small area will become a bright spot in blue cities.

Highlights of Marrakech shooting: zigzag structure, local customs, detail design.

Breakfast at B&B is also one of the highlights. You can learn from the local people and have a leisurely breakfast.

For a homestay with a swimming pool, it has a different artistic conception to keep the camera close to the water and take a reflection.

Take some local style details in the hotel, such as candlesticks and teapots that can only be bought locally, and record the daily furnishings of Moroccans. B&B suggestion

The dyehouse is not a scenic spot to collect tickets, and you can only visit it through the balcony of the leather workshop next to it. If you don't spend money in the store, you should discuss with the owner before visiting. Generally, you will charge a tip, about 10 dirhams is more appropriate.
