Give you a mirror, what can you photograph?

For everyone who loves beauty, they will take one with them when they go outSmall mirrorWell, people who like to take pictures also like to use mirrors as shooting props.

 

Let's let you learn something special today, which needs to be combined with early shooting and post-adjustment ~ Take you with meExplore the fun world in the mirror。 GOGO

 

 

1/. Pre-shooting

We like to take pictures with mirrors because we want to see the mirror reflect the other side. The sense of one virtual and one real picture is always impressive.

If there is a scene in the mirror that is not in reality, it needs to be retouched later (very simple). AndThoughts on early shootingIt's also very important (highlight).

 

01

In order to enhance the visual effect of the picture, we take photos, which will create a contradictory relationship for the photos. This photographic technique is called"Contrast method"。

AndThe contrast between cold and warmIt is a way of expression that is widely used in photography.

A clean wall, when there is sunlight, just shooting light and shadow is slightly monotonous. We can hold a small mirror in our hands, put the mirror in the palm of our hand, and let the warm sun shine down. The picture is warm tone. Put a cool tone photo in the mirror, and the overall picture willrichGet up.

On the contrary, if we have rainy weather. The grey sky felt that the colors of the world were monotonous.

But it doesn't mean you can't take good photos. If you are careful, you will find that some tall buildings will melt into the fog. We can squat down and shoot upward, and use the ultra-wide angle to extend the visual sense of the picture.

 

We can be in the gap in the middle of the building, V-shaped hands holding small mirrors. You can put photos of warm colors such as rainbows and colorful clouds in the mirror. This picture feels like a feeling that warms your heart.

 

02

As an indispensable element of color photography creation, in photography, besides composition and light and shadow, color is the most important thing that affects the beauty of photos. ThenColor contrastThe most obvious are black and white and color.

There will be many puddles and puddles on the streets on rainy days, and we can use these to take reflections. The color of the stone tiles in each street will be messy, so the early idea can adjust the photo toBlack and white。

Place the mirror on the ground, and the colored umbrella can be placed in the mirror. If you have a friend holding an umbrella around you, then the umbrella in the mirror can be associated with the friend's umbrella, with a unified direction or opposite positions, etc., making the picture feel betteramusing。

Secondly, you can also use a mirror to block the part where you take pictures with your mobile phone, and you can put a walking person in the mirror, creating a kind ofStory senseThe atmosphere of. The picture in the mirror is rich in color to attract attention better.

 

03

In the early shooting stage, we can alsoThe environment at that time and the posture of holding the mirror, to change the photo in the mirror.

 

Because the photo is also black and white, the sky part is very bright. And I hold the mirror with two fingers, so I thought that the photo in the mirror can put a person's silhouette, which is related to the position of my hand, and the sense of the picture will cause a lot ofImagination spaceYeah, I've got it. Of course, you need to choose according to the photos you take.

Sometimes holding a mirror in your hand is like exploring the world with a magnifying glass. Changing the photos in the mirror into colorful clouds can satisfy our curiosity better.

 

04

When you go out in spring, you will definitely see a lot of green plants. Facing some tall trees, we can hold a small mirror in our hands and blur the green leaves as the background to make it look cleaner. Put photos of other seasons in the mirror to form aContrast of seasons。 The sense of picture is also imaginative.

If the background is a still scene, and you hold a small mirror in your hand, then you can put some photos of snow or rain in the mirror.One quiet and one moving, like two different worlds. Very ordinary scenes can also produce a special feeling.

If you want to take creative photos with a mirror, you still need to plan the early shooting by yourself, and conceive what the overall picture feel will be like in the end. But there is no shortage of later retouching ~

 

2/. Late adjustment

To replace the photos in the small mirror, the app I use is Awakening Picture. According to the picture sense you want, you can adjust the color of the photos you have taken first. Then import it into the wakeup map.

Find the far rightImport pictures,After finding the photos you need, click Confirm directly; Move to the mirror, adjust the position,Click on the imported image ➟ Reduce transparency ➟ Eraser pen, erase unwanted content according to the border of the mirror.

 

Some details can be enjoyed with two fingersEnlarge the pictureTo erase. Remember to adjust the transparency back after erasing, so this is how a creative mirror photo comes from ~

ˇ

Is this mirror trip fun? We don't have to envy other people's creative photos when we see them on the Internet, and we can make blockbusters by learning the methods ourselves. And this kind of small mirror is easy to carry.

For photos in the mirror, you can use your favorite/favorite photos, or you can use your own photos. Sometimes, waste films can also be used in the same way. Of course, in the early stage, you need to think about what kind of photo you will finally present. We can think about it from the contrast between the background and the photo in the mirror,Cool and warm contrast, light and dark contrast, color contrast, seasonal contrast...
