Most of the time, the place where we live is visible to the naked eye, ordinary and ordinary.
However, it is also an ordinary scene, but some people only use a mobile phone to take creative photos through unique shooting techniques!
Photographer from the United StatesKesl AleksandrIt's such an image creator. He used the iPhone, like magic, to create a cool world.
Today's aesthetic notes, let's learn togetherKesl Aleksandr，How to take all kinds of cool photos with iPhone, and take a unique and advanced visual sense of ordinary life scenes?
1/.
Frame the visual focus
Shooting changes in thinking often leads to photos with unique visual effects.
Among them, the application of foreground framework is a highly practical trick. InKesl AleksandrIn the mobile phone lens, you can always see various foreground frame elements.
Like a curved iron pipe, the gap formed is like a door, framing the characters in front of you ~
When shooting urban buildings, know how to use the appropriate foreground frame in the scene, and then put the shotSubject Object--BuildingFramed, the picture is like a "picture-in-picture", which then focuses people's attention.
Like, all kinds of regular hollow things on the roadside...
Or some irregular holes and barbed wire holes. Through these foreground frames, the scenery of a corner of the city can be captured, and the whole also gives people a sense of prying.
Even the iron chain handrails we see every day, when they become the foreground frame of shooting, the picture forms a unique landscape, and ordinary scenes instantly become interesting.
These are allKesl AleksandrCommonly used foreground frames, their appearance, not only clarify the theme, but also enrich the layering of the picture. This is the charm of the foreground frame.

Capturing mirror reflections
People who observe carefully can capture different kinds of scenery even in ordinary scenes. No, have you ever noticed the scenery hidden in the rearview mirror?
Kesl AleksandrI like the world reflected by the rearview mirror very much. He often uses the lens to record the scenery he passes by.
He keeps the mobile phone lens at a certain distance from the rearview mirror. When shooting, he willLandscape with focus point placed in rearview mirror。
The virtual rearview mirror world, intertwined with the real scenes of real life, exudes wonderful visual charm and attracts attention.
When the rearview mirror meets the beautiful dusk scene, the photo looks particularly dreamy and romantic, which is probably the blushing and shy look of the sky! Press the shutter button and freeze the moment,Kesl AleksandrCollect this beauty and tenderness of the world in the lens ~

Close to take a reflection on the water surface
We often say:"Beauty is all around."For example, occasionally look down at the vast land beneath our feet.
The puddle next to the corner produces a wonderful reflection due to the reflection of the water surface.
Kesl AleksandrAlways lower the shooting angle and shoot symmetrical urban scenery with the help of the water surface.
Because the picture hasUpper and lower symmetryThe beauty of this symmetry makes the overall photo look more stable and has a more three-dimensional sense of space.
This creative shooting method of reflection, as long as you encounter a suitable shooting subject, then carefully observe the characteristics of the shooting scene, and lower your mobile phone to get a good view, will have far more visual impact than shooting the landscape on the ground flat alone.
Occasionally, I try to invert the ground scene upside down below and the reflection of the puddle above. This is a brand-new visual experience in terms of viewing effect. The picture seems real but not real, mixed with reality and full of fun.
In addition, the more abstract reflection shooting method is to only shoot the phantom in the puddle. Because there are no surrounding scenes and physical objects in the mirror, the picture has a more spatial imagination and a hint of mystery.
This is alsoKesl AleksandrThe usual reflection creative shooting method makes the photos look intriguing.

Skillfully use lines to shoot blockbusters
Skillful use of scene lines is also a big trick with high film production rate.
Due to different manifestations of lines: orStraight lineOrPolylineOrCurve... has a certain visual beauty, coupled with itsDirectionality, capable of producingVisual guidance, and then guide the viewer's line of sight.
InKesl AleksandrIn his works, lines are also his creative inspiration elements.
Like this wire ring circling forward, from near to far, the wire ring gradually becomes smaller, creating a strong sense of spatial depth untilConverge into a point, drawing people's attention to the Golden Gate Bridge.
With the traction line of the ship as the foreground of the line, becausePerspective effect of "near big and far small", the lines gradually thinner in the visual experience, and even feel like they are about to disappear.
The low-angle upward shooting further amplifies the tension of this vision and makes it magnificent.
Sometimes, encountering some road scenes, they are good line elements in themselves. When you know how to use it for picture composition, it is actually not difficult to take high-end photos.
Therefore, we should always learn to open up our own thinking of viewing objects, explore more shooting perspectives from different dimensions, and try to capture those alternative scenery that have been neglected.
Taking beautiful photos is not a "talent" that everyone is born with, but the accumulation of shooting experience the day after tomorrow can make us make a qualitative leap.
So, when you really want to take good photos, take more photos, and don't let the "conventional" perspective limit your shooting thinking. Maybe every time you make a bold attempt, you may find a "new world of photography"!
