What are the elements of photography?

Do you know what the elements of photography are? Many people in life like photography, and they like to hold up beautiful things. But many people don't understand photography, and even the elements of photography are not clear. The following is the introduction of photographic elements I collected for your reference, hoping to help friends in need.

What are the elements of photography? 1 1, luminosity.

Brightness is the general name of the luminous intensity of light source, the illuminance of light on the surface of object and the brightness of the surface of object (the luminous intensity and irradiation distance of light source affect the illuminance; Light intensity and surface color affect brightness). In photography, luminosity is directly related to exposure. In terms of composition, exposure is closely related to the reproduction effect of hue or color.

Rich hue and accurate color reproduction are based on accurate exposure. Conscious overexposure and underexposure should also be based on accurate exposure. Therefore, mastering the basic skills of luminosity and accurate exposure can actively control the tone, color and contrast effect of the subject.

2. Brightness level

Light level refers to the position of the light source relative to the object being photographed, that is, the direction and angle of the light. The same object has different light and shade modeling effects under different light levels. The light levels in photography can be ever-changing, but they can be summarized into seven types: front light, front light, side light, back light, back light, top light and foot light.

3. Light quality

Light quality refers to the gathering, scattering, softness and hardness of light. Spotlights are characterized by coming from obvious directions and producing clear and heavy shadows; Astigmatism is characterized by coming from several directions, resulting in soft and unclear shadows. The hardness of light depends on several factors, and a narrow beam is usually harder than a wide beam.

What are the elements of photography? 2 1, light.

Light type refers to the role of all kinds of light in shooting.

2. Light ratio

The light ratio refers to the difference in light reception between the bright part and the dark part of the subject, usually referring to the difference between the main light and the auxiliary light. The greater the light ratio, the greater the contrast, which is beneficial to show the "hard" effect; The light ratio is small and the contrast is small, which is beneficial to show the "soft" effect.

3. Light color

Light color refers to "the color of light" or "the component of colored light". The color of light is usually called "color temperature". Light and color are very important in expression and technology. The color of light determines the cold and warm feeling of light, which can cause many emotional associations. The significance of light color to composition is mainly manifested in color photography.
