Please note that this is not an unordered list of apps, but an article on learning photography step by step.

From the principle of photography to the later stage, you will learn the core elements of taking good photos through this article.

I classify these applications as follows:

The essence of aesthetic photography.

Top-level retouching software

Tuning is a very useful gadget.

Special effects amazing special effects

appreciation of the beauty

Photography is essentially to show the world in your mind through equipment. Therefore, your thoughts, your feelings and your aesthetics are the decisive factors for taking good photos.

For most people, the best way to cultivate aesthetics is to appreciate the best works and develop the good habit of looking at pictures every day. Before long, you will be surprised.

My own beauty of images comes from a large number of movies. More than ten years have passed, and I have watched more than 10,000 movies. Excellent movies not only have good stories, but also beautiful photography, from which we can learn various elements of photography, such as composition, light and shadow, color and so on.

Most importantly, movies can teach you to tell stories with pictures.

basis

TheGreatPhotoApp many people are often confused by aperture and shutter, and they haven't figured it out for a long time.

With TheGreatPhotoApp, you can easily master this knowledge.

This is the most effective photography learning software I have ever seen. You can learn the basic knowledge of photography intuitively and interestingly. You can directly simulate various aperture sizes and shutter speeds on your mobile phone.

light

Rizon photography is the art of light.

The period after sunrise and before sunset is called the prime time of photography.

At this time, the light angle is low, which can create an extremely wonderful light and shadow effect.

When you shoot in these two periods, you can take amazing photos relatively easily.

Rizon is an application that reminds you to take photos in prime time.

A photo taken at a prime time one day.

Of course, it's not that you can't take good photos at other times, just have better technology.

composition

Impression InterPhoto has a variety of composition tutorials, such as trichotomy, S composition, Z composition and so on. But no matter what composition you use, remember the purpose of composition: to highlight the subject.

Impression InterPhoto is an APP launched by the well-known Impression magazine.

It contains many classic composition patterns and is a good choice for learning composition.

shoot

If you pay attention to convenience and speed, it must be a mobile phone native camera, but if you want to have more professional or special effects, you need a third-party camera.

Procam4 is quite powerful, with manual mode, and you can take photos in RAW format with your mobile phone.

RAW format records the original information when shooting to the maximum extent, which can give you more room for adjustment later.

Of course, the disadvantage of the RAW format is too great.

Camera+old APP, very professional.

The late shooting is very powerful.

Various parameters can be adjusted when shooting, exposure and focusing can be separated, and different image quality can be selected.

SlowShutterCam slow shutter camera If you want to take a slow shutter photo like a SLR, like the atomized gurgling water, the trajectory of fireworks in the night sky and the lights of the city at night, it can help you achieve it.

I shoot running water in slow motion.

The effect of this application is still good, and you can also study some creative gameplay yourself. For example, when I take a picture of the scenery below, my phone shakes a few times and I get a blurred picture. After coloring in vsco, it has amazing effect.

People who love mobile photography in VSCO must know this APP, and its filter is really great.

VSCO has the most basic adjustment function, and the recent update adds a text description under each function, which is clear and clear.

Basically, this APP is the one I use the most. If you can master this app, you can meet your needs most of the time.

VSCO contains several basic filters, and other filters need to be purchased, which can be purchased according to individual needs.

But I suggest that you must be familiar with the basic skills and don't set the filter at the beginning.

When you use basic functions to bring up wonderful photos, using filters will make you better.

Snapseed is a very powerful and comprehensive photo editing tool, which can edit RAW format and adjust curves.

If you use IPadpro with Applepencile, the experience is very good.

I also use this application frequently.

Pixelmator can be said to be the PS on iPhone, exquisite, good experience and full-featured.

It can be used not only for retouching, but also for design. This is definitely a productivity tool.

I synthesized the photos with Pixelmator.

The Mac version of Pixelmator has always had an excellent reputation, with extremely exquisite interface, compact size, basic tools and conscientious price, and it has continued this style after being transplanted to iOS.

This application is a good choice when I need to design on my mobile phone or edit pictures more finely.

Enlight is powerful, with curves, filters, masks and so on.

When you need advanced functions, you will basically use this application to solve them.

adobe Photoshop lightroomforphone/Android

As a mobile version of the famous Lightroom, Lightroom is very powerful. It can edit the Raw format, adjust radially, partially process photos, and cooperate with Adobe.

Creativecloud can be seamlessly connected across platforms and devices, which is very easy to use.

To use advanced functions such as editing Raw photos, you need to register as a member of Adobecreativecloud, but you can try it for 30 days for free at first.

The advantage of Lightroom is that it can work with other software in Adobe family, which can greatly improve work efficiency.

Provocative retouching domestic excellent software.

It is really powerful, with many adjustment tools, exquisite design, rich filters and wide platform coverage, including mobile phone version and computer version.

MaxCurve's powerful curve function.

All-round curve retouching tools are often recommended by APP officials.

Extremely professional and powerful, can handle photos in RAW format.

Composite samples in UnionAPP

Use powerful image synthesis tools.

You can create a creative double exposure effect.

adjust

TouchRetouch is a very useful photo restoration tool.

If you want to delete unwanted objects in a photo and make the main body stand out, retouching is a very good choice.

For example, when I photographed this tree, the chain and chopping block interfered with the picture. After being deleted by retouching, the picture was cleaner and more concise.

Before deletion

After deletion

SKRWT lens calibration tool.

Sometimes, due to the problem of lens and angle, we will tilt or deform when shooting buildings or other objects. At this time, we can use SKRWT to correct them.

However, as more and more full-featured software also includes error correction function, the future of such small apps should be more refined, such as using AI and automatic error correction.

Waterlogue can turn your photos into amazing watercolors with excellent results.

Once a short film was shot, and it was necessary to draw a landscape map by hand, so it was used to generate watercolors. A friend saw it and asked me who painted it, so I showed it to her I still remember her surprised expression.

When I first used it, I was fascinated and lamented the progress of science and technology.

The fun part of this software is that you can see the process of image rendering, which is very wonderful, while many other apps just show the progress bar of processing.

Prisma is very popular recently. It can transform your photos into various artistic styles, and the effect is amazing.

In the introduction of the APP, it is said that the pictures are processed by artificial intelligence and neural network technology, and their official website domain name is very interesting, prisma-ai.com.

Artificial intelligence is developing faster and faster. Maybe one day, anyone's creation will no longer be limited by skills and physical conditions. Ai can do anything you can think of.

VOUN's favorite photo plus photo frame application can produce many photo frame effects.

Elegant, realistic, excellent material and texture.

VOUN generated photo frame

Intentional developer, this APP itself is like a work of art.

Trigaphy: For a while, I was fascinated by the pictures in the lowpoly style, but it was hard to make them myself, so I went to find an APP that could generate this style.

So I found Terry Garfield.

It can not only produce works with low deformation style, but also produce many other strange but fascinating effects.

With good use, matter can definitely create works with a sense of science fiction.

It has built-in various 3D models with rich effects and can be rotated at various angles. If you are creative and have ideas, you can really synthesize amazing works.

You can also generate videos.

At that time, when shooting this sunset, the light and water were particularly beautiful, so a cube with substance was added, and immediately there was a sense of futurity and technology.

The criteria for choosing these apps are not only function, but also design and experience. Although some apps are powerful, the design is really ugly, and some fees are really pit, so it is not recommended here.

APP is really a great invention. In a way, it frees you from the office.

With the help of artificial intelligence, the APP will become more and more powerful and will subvert more and more inherent rules. It will give everyone more ability, so that everyone can change themselves and the world with ideas.
