Generally speaking, concise photos are "simplified", and there should not be too many picture elements, and there should be a clear picture subject.Through a small number of elements to convey the rich emotions of the photographer。
For example, the following photo with the theme of "Looking" has three elements: characters, sky and paragliding. The character holds slippers in his hand and looks at the paraglider in mid-air, which is the yearning for a free life.
This photo of "Picking Up Shellfish by the Sea" depicts the harvest scene of "coastal fishermen stepping on the tide to pick up shellfish on the side at the ebb and flow of the seaside". Its long coastline and empty vision make people's eyes consciously fall on the silhouettes of characters.
Pursuing simple pictures, it is easy to form a sense of high-endMinimalist style, the simplicity and purity of all beauty.
Among them, a large area of the screen is left blank, combined with the mobile phone's『3:4』、『4:3』Horizontal and vertical frames bring the simplicity of this picture to the extreme.
When the concise picture collides with the black and white tone, in addition to the sense of "blockbuster" déjà vu, the story atmosphere of the photo will become stronger, arousing people's thoughts.
