Photography is constantly looking for order, but what is order? Many people may not know. Some people who know it say it's a relationship, but where is the relationship reflected?
How to find and determine relationships? Many people are confused.
The most important thing in real estate is the lot, the lot, the lot, and the most important thing in photography is the main body, the main body, the main body!
Only with the subject can there be an accompanying body, only with the accompanying body can there be a relationship, and only with the relationship can there be the order of photography!
The following eight points give you a comprehensive understanding of the main body:
First, the most important thing is that the main body is clear!
This subject is not the other subject!
If you want to shoot a group of pictures with similar scenes, the subject and scene should be relatively close to you, and you can go there from time to time to step on a spot, have a meal or something.
Like a building, pillars, people or whatever you like.
Maybe you are an otaku OR otaku, but photography allows you to pick up yourself again and throw yourself into the outside world. Then think about it carefully, have you seen any place that is particularly suitable for photography, such as plenty of natural light, or the ground is so smooth that you will fall at any time...
At that time, when I returned to this place from time to time to remember my life and youth, I would find the best shooting spot of this place and predict what might happen. Familiar places have a sense of prediction.
You may use the perfect angle you know in your mind to shoot and frame until you are exhausted and get carried away. Change the angle,
It may really be just changing the degree.
If the popularity is good, or there are a group of small models waiting in line for your favor, don't hesitate to bring them one by one for the pilot.
Although the scenes are the same, the effect of the film is guaranteed to be different. Believe it or not, just try it!
Second, if the main body is stylish, it will be even better!
People are a tired species, so when you are bored of going somewhere to take pictures often, find a similar scene instead.
By photographing a series of related things, you can easily find the similarities and differences.
It's like writing a paper, finding a topic you like, and then frantically searching for various categories of literature to support your point of view. Doesn't it feel great
The subject can be a series of similar places, or seemingly independent pillars with similar shapes.
There is a saying that a coin has two sides. We always emphasize the differences between these two sides, but we forget that they coexist on the same coin. Therefore, anything can become a series, as long as it is good at discovering.
Third, the subject should have certain significance
It is recommended to find some subjects around you. But no matter what it is, there must be a concept, what the meaning or purpose of shooting is.
For example, everyone likes fallen leaves in autumn, but can't they enjoy them in a different way? Make a rule for yourself, like, just shoot one leaf?
Once you restrict yourself, you can look at the fallen leaves of this tree with a new eye, because in this pile, there may only be one piece, which is the treasure in your eyes ~
May find yourself wanting to give more white space to the photo, or just let a clean landscape be the background of the leaves.
The so-called self-discipline has freedom. Only by giving yourself certain restrictions can your brain run quickly and look for infinite possibilities within the restrictions!
Fourth, your subject should be 360 ° without dead angles
If the subject of a group of photos is a certain fixed thing, such as a building or sign, please give full play to your imagination, and it will be different from another angle.
After all angles have been photographed, think about whether there are other ways to shoot. Anyway, don't stop thinking!
Direct 90 ° up and down? Is it close enough? Is it too far? Would it make a difference if you made a border?
Multi-angle exploration can improve composition ability and promote more creativity.
Fifth, place the subject in different contexts
If the subject is easy to carry, such as the chair below, you can place it in a variety of backgrounds for shooting.
Or your object is small enough to fit in your pocket and carry with you anywhere. In this way, every time you go to a department, you can take it out for framing and shooting.
Letting the subject take a series of photos in different environments will stimulate the search for more unexpected places.
Don't care about other people's eyes. Look, I have traveled all over the place with this little red chair. Please remember, take good photos, and you can flex and stretch!
Sixth, experience the four seasons with the main body
Another great way is to visit a shooting scene or subject repeatedly throughout the year.
When there is no creative inspiration, returning to the previous shooting location is like revisiting an old friend. Might find this old friend's family making bacon...
Pay attention to the state of the subject in different seasons, or the subject has never changed, only the scene around it changes with the four seasons.
The body of the season class can be a tree, or a certain location.
In any case, paying attention to the different states of the subject in the four seasons can provide inspiration for your creation.
Seventh, have a story with your subject
If you follow a certain subject for a long time, you need to make proper description to tell a story. Especially when the subject is a human.
Different methods of photographing the person may need to be considered, or even the location.
For example, it is possible to fix the movement of the object, such as the back-to-face pose. Then any of the attractions he faces
Will become a photo with a story. For more hot ones, you can look at the hand-in-hand couples on INS.
When uploading to social networks, you can add a series of hashtags to organize and edit this group of photos.
Eighth, let's talk about the distance
You can also tell a story without people, set off the scenery and make it full of story.
Maybe this place is beyond imagination, so it is necessary to use a set of photos to tell a story.
Taking a group of photos of a certain place will give the viewer a sense of completeness, and it will also lead to more creative shooting methods.
If you want to capture the feeling of the moment, try to make the picture express the emotion that doesn't make sense.
Try to shoot with or without objects at different times of the day, and observe the effects of different natural light.
No matter what shooting location you choose, be sure to remember to shoot the subject from different angles, so as to capture the true emotion of this scene.
