Teach you 18 creative photography skills without looking at the camera.

First, don't look at the camera, don't look at the camera, don't look at the camera.

If your friends like small and clear photos, but the photos you take are always unsatisfactory, it seems that something is missing. Don't worry, after reading this mobile phone photography skill, you can easily take small fresh photos that satisfy her.

Usually, small and fresh pictures give people the feeling of being thoughtful and light. As long as the photographer looks at other parts of the lens, he can achieve this picture effect.

You can try it when shooting, let your friends look at the sky, or lean forward, or think thoughtfully, and the picture will be different.

1, look at your hat:

Step 3 look at the phone

3. Go straight (back killer)

4. Oblique ahead

If you don't stare at the camera, the subject will relax and express his emotions more naturally, which is in line with the theme of shooting small and fresh pictures. It can be seen that changing the shooting mode will produce different picture effects.

However, it should be noted that it is necessary to leave room for the direction of the photographer's eyes, so that the picture will look very comfortable, which not only avoids the occlusion of the line of sight, but also creates an imaginary space. After shooting, you can also use the filter effect in your mobile phone to create a different picture atmosphere.

Second, see the big from the small, and show the whole from the local.

In many pictures, we can often use the technique of "seeing the big picture from the small" instead of the big scene, especially in wedding photos, for example, shooting the bride's bouquet and some small objects in the venue. Through these details, we can reveal the joy of the wedding. Sometimes the description of details is often more touching. And the local performance will reveal the hint of the story behind the photo.

Shoot the vicissitudes of hands, forgotten shoes, umbrellas put aside, etc. , can convey a feeling of time passing, so, in addition to shooting the whole picture, you can also try to shoot locally.

1, clap your hands

Step 2 shoot shoes

Third, in fact, you can't see the head.

When taking portraits, you can be bolder. Although your friend is beautiful, you can also show his charm through his body parts, and you don't have to shoot a beautiful face. By showing the body parts of the subject, you can also show his personality, such as wearing leather shoes or slippers, and having a simple and natural manicure or manicure. These details are interesting. Although you don't usually pay much attention to them, you can show the personality of the subject by showing these details in the picture.

1, take an umbrella

Step 2 open the book

When raising your hand, you can also draw up some environments, for example, in schools, offices, playgrounds and other places, or holding a book and a cup of coffee. Different environments can show the wonderful life of the subject.

Fourth, beauty lies between half-covering and half-covering.

In order to make the people in the picture look better than ourselves, we need to carefully observe each other's facial features when shooting and find her most beautiful and expressive angle. Sometimes a certain angle of the face may not be suitable for being photographed, so it needs to be covered by some means. For example, a big forehead can generally be decorated with bangs, and a wide face can generally be decorated with hair hanging down from both sides.

You can also use props to shoot portraits, which can beautify the picture and create an atmosphere, such as shooting young women in literature and art and using guitars; You can shoot a lady with a paper umbrella, a fan, a coffee cup, etc.

1, guitar

2. Paper fan

3. Coffee cups

Fifth, shoot the emotions of the characters.

A plain portrait looks meaningless, but taking a portrait with a mobile phone can make the other person not particularly nervous, which is also a very convenient place to take a portrait with a mobile phone.

Expression is the most direct reaction in a person's heart. Happiness, sadness and loss can all be conveyed from facial expressions. If you want to capture the emotions of the characters, it is best to capture the most relaxed expression of the other party. When shooting an expression, you can give the other person some tips when shooting, or you can use props, such as holding an ice drink on your cheek and closing your eyes to look comfortable; Holding a doll can be happy or sad; Holding a glass of red wine at night looks very thoughtful; Sitting by the piano, sad or happy.

1, pretend to be drunk

Step 2 pretend to play the piano

Sixth, make people smaller.

When shooting outdoors, in order to make the characters better integrate into the environment, we can make their proportion in the picture smaller. When shooting, we should pay more attention to framing, angle, light application, composition, and the relationship between people and the environment. Taking this kind of photo can avoid the same situation, because it incorporates the photographer's own ideas.

Although the proportion of people in the environment is very small, or just taking pictures of the back, it can make them better integrate into the environment. This kind of shooting is varied and interesting. Because there is a lot of blank space in the picture, you can also use the post-photography APP to add some favorite words to better express the theme of the picture.

Seven, some people are just suitable for profile shooting.

Everyone is used to frontal shooting, but some people with obvious contours are still very suitable for side shooting. Usually, people with well-defined facial contours, soft lines, strong facial three-dimensional sense and high nose bridge are suitable for shooting at this angle. When shooting, it should be noted that because the face turns to one side of the picture, it is necessary to leave space in front of its line of sight as much as possible, which will be more comfortable visually. In order to make the subject stand out in the picture, you can choose the angle of the side backlight.

Eight, only shoot the second face of people-hands.

When shooting portraits, you can also use the technique of "seeing the big from the small" instead of the traditional shooting method. When you are happy, the details are often more touching. For example, photographing the mottled bricks of the Great Wall may better reflect the sense of historical precipitation than photographing the whole Great Wall. Therefore, when expressing the theme in details and parts, it will give the audience more imagination. When shooting a couple, you can only put your hands together and wear the same ring. The picture has completely conveyed the feeling of happiness. There are many scenes that deliberately hide the face, and they can also accurately convey the theme you want to express. For example, the mother holds the child's hand, the pianist's hand, the hand on the straw hat and so on. It can also convey affection, comfort, leisure and other feelings, and such a picture can better reflect an artistic beauty.

Nine, just pat your feet and mobilize your fantasy.

It may sound a little difficult to just pat the feet, but the feet can really convey people's emotions, and the pictures taken are relatively fresh. Because the shoes will be photographed when you pat your feet, what kind of shoes you wear will also express a different life, and your living environment can also convey the personality characteristics of the owner of your feet from the side. Therefore, the signs conveyed from the details can well mobilize the imagination and sense of participation of the viewers.

Ten, don't let go, don't pretend is the best state.

Many unforgettable natural moments are often not posed, but captured instantly. Such photos can reveal the emotions of the subjects more naturally and have more flavor. The advantage of mobile phone photography is that you can record beautiful moments as long as you press the shutter of your mobile phone. When friends are having fun, you might as well try to capture it with your mobile phone, which saves communication before shooting and makes the shooting process more relaxed and natural.

Impressive pictures have nothing to do with beauty and ugliness. Perhaps the most memorable expressions are those that are grinned, cried in pain, or accidentally captured with great intoxication and devotion. This shooting technique is also very suitable for shooting children.

Eleven, flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water

Taking people in the mirror as photos is very interesting and innovative. After the rain, a figure was reflected on the water in this area. It is also interesting to use symmetrical composition to take people and reflections together in the picture. If you only shoot the reflection in the water in the area, the picture will look more visually impactful. In addition, as long as it is a mirror, metal and other reflective media, it can be used to express portraits. If it is a reflection from the uneven metal surface, it can present an interesting picture of exaggerated deformation.

In this way, the shooting range can be expanded by using the reflected light. After careful observation, good reflection pictures can be taken by using lake water and glass mirrors. And these reflective media can be found. With the creative composition form, you can take very novel portrait photos.

Twelve, amorous feelings, only in an instant.

If you want to take a dynamic picture, you can take a picture of clothes flowing instantly when you turn around, which requires good communication with the subject in advance so that he can make a big turn when he is in the same place or when he walks by. If the subject is shy, you can let him look at the ground or outside the camera, so the picture will be more natural. After the shooting is completed, you can use the late APP of the mobile phone to make dark corners or mention a small word to add some artistic conception to the picture.

This shooting technique is very suitable for girls to look shy and timid. It should be noted that when you look back, you should look at the direction of the sun. Turn in the wrong direction and your face will be black. Pay attention to the movements of your arms when you turn around and avoid covering your face.

Thirteen, lie down and shoot

The biggest feature of mobile phone photography is convenience. As long as you find the right angle, you can easily shoot by lifting your mobile phone. When shooting, the choice of angle is very random, there is no need to follow the script too much, you can try from multiple angles, and you can shoot a lot of personalized pictures, which is also the embodiment of the open thinking of playing mobile phone photography. To avoid the most commonly used shooting angle, that is, standing shooting, it is better to simply change the shooting idea, lie down and shoot, and take advantage of the vertical position difference between the photographer and the subject to shoot a visually novel picture. This method can also "shoot" the jumping partner higher.

Fourteen, "trapped" her in the middle of the box

Frame composition is to create the feeling of frame with the help of the surrounding environment, and focus the viewer's attention on the subject. When shooting, it is not necessarily a specific frame, but also an abstract frame ",and it is not necessarily closed. In addition to typical frame structures such as doors and windows, it can also be branches and shadows. Open and irregular frames will make the picture more novel and beautiful. The application of frame composition can enrich the layering of the picture, strengthen the sense of space, guide the viewer's line of sight to the main body, and is decorative, which can beautify the picture and increase the formal beauty of the picture. Therefore, we should pay attention to the aesthetic feeling when choosing the frame. In addition, the frame composition can also block the messy background.

Fifteen, shooting portraits or half-silhouettes

Mobile phones can also take silhouette or semi-silhouette portraits. Shooting silhouette portraits requires not only proper lighting, but also technology and creativity. First of all, it is very suitable when there is a big gap between light and shade, such as dusk light. At this time, the sky is bright and the scenery on the ground is a bit dark. It is the easiest to take a picture of the sky as white as paper. In fact, as long as you click on the position of the sky on the mobile phone screen when focusing, you will get a picture with rich sky layers and silhouette effect. If the light gap is not so big, you can take a penumbra portrait. If you want the silhouette effect to be obvious, you can set the exposure reduction compensation on your mobile phone. It should be noted that the characters should not overlap with other scenes when shooting.

Sixteen, the use of backlight to win

Backlight photos with glare often give people a beautiful and romantic feeling, so everyone likes to take portraits with backlight. Usually backlight can shoot two kinds of pictures, one is a common silhouette picture.

Another kind of backlight portrait is that the face is properly exposed, and there is glare in the picture, which looks very romantic. When shooting this kind of pictures, you usually click on the part of the face on the mobile phone to make the portrait exposed locally and the background overexposed. When shooting, you should find the light angle until the picture appears glare. If you don't want to overexpose the background, you can also reduce the exposure compensation. In order to avoid blackening the face, you can fill the face with a reflector or white paper when shooting, so that the background will not be overexposed and the face will be brighter.

Seventeen, funny portrait shooting

Playing with friends and shooting at the same time can also inspire many interesting ideas. Sometimes it is very interesting to use some props and sometimes cooperate with some later creative stages, such as pushing a creative suspension photo and taking a group photo in front of many people.

Eighteen, take creative photos with the wrong perspective.

In addition to being beautiful, photos can also be interesting, which requires creative composition, which requires photographers not only to have a unique observation ability for the things in front of them, but also to seize the fleeting interesting coincidences in life, and give full play to their imagination and explore more creative composition.

For example, we can find and find creative and interesting compositions by borrowing photography and changing the shooting direction and perspective. The most common way is to "capture" a big scene by hand in a staggered way, or change the shooting angle to make the street lamp "grow" from the head. If you want to shoot a still life far away, the distant scenery will be "smaller" because of perspective, so you can "capture"

When taking a portrait, sometimes the shooting angle is changed, so that the subject overlaps with the still life behind him, and the still life in the shot picture seems to be "far away" from the subject.
