Everything that is natural is beautiful, and there is no deliberate manipulation. Daily life photos can really reflect a story, but of course it contains technology, which is as necessary as posing portraits. The difference lies in the different technologies needed, from the aspects of production, organization, time arrangement, reaction and so on. These are understated in the picture, and as a result, nothing looks deliberate and complicated. The characters in the picture just appear in this position, showing a certain expression and making a certain gesture, and the camera just took a picture. That may be the case. Or, the photographer can easily set up the dynamic relationship in the scene, and then retreat behind the scenes and observe it from one angle, which can more or less increase the naturalness of the picture. The key to all this is to have full confidence in your ability to quickly compose and focus, which can be improved through practice. Make a quick estimate of the general environment according to the lighting and background, and start from now on. How long can they last like this? Is it suitable? If not, consider changing venues, especially when your subject is going to walk around. Check the camera settings: sensitivity, white balance, shutter speed and aperture. In a small engineering workshop in Athens, I waited until the welders finished their work. They looked up at me, and one of them grinned. This is a good time to shoot, so don't hesitate. The simple and direct style of this portrait of trapp monks is just similar to the environment of the Belgian Orval monastery famous for its beer where monks live. Father Luther, who is in charge of beer brewing, stood calmly in the corridor of a thousand-year-old building. Harvest In a rose valley near the Bulgarian town of Kazanruk, ninth-grade students in a nearby school are harvesting the most expensive roses in the world. These are Damascus roses, which are used to determine the standard of rose oil in perfume industry. One of the girls stopped what she was doing and talked to one of her friends. In reporting photography, street is a broad stage for human activities. As we all know, street photography is one of the standard working procedures. With the least equipment-a backpack, a camera, one or two lenses (or a zoom lens)-explore on foot and shoot people on sidewalks, open-air coffee bars, supermarkets, parks and other venues. Without planning in advance, you can only rely on your own observation and prediction, as well as luck, to find interesting pictures from ordinary environments. This is city life, which is always the same, even if the characters are different. There are three points to emphasize-don't force others, find the potential picture in advance, and then shoot quickly-these technologies were originally designed for snapshot, and you can also use them to take free-style portrait photos. In order to make a change, you can even pose for a portrait, or let your subject walk around, buy something, have a cup of coffee, or do something natural. Not forcing and attracting the subject's attention means that the characters in the picture should not see the camera and interact with themselves. This is a very simple goal to achieve. Don't bring too many conspicuous equipment, dress in a low profile, don't stand in the middle of the road, and keep walking. When you find a good shooting subject, you should always pay attention to the potential pictures and be familiar with the methods of focal length used in different shooting scenes. A shopper in Nice Morning Market is laughing with a stall owner outside the photo. The camera is on the elevated sidewalk, and I am looking for this kind of interactive moment when chatting with a medium focus lens. Three Peruvian children in Cuzco walked to the side of the road and were about to cross the road. Watch them closely. I have a few seconds to prepare when they take these steps. Morning coffee is in the small town of Aix in Provence, and the tables in the surrounding cafes are full of this ancient square. The purpose of shooting is to take a panoramic view, so I used a wide-angle lens (21mm). The man's lifelike action and his friend who leaned back and looked at the sky constituted this moment. Focal length and distance Familiarity with the combination of focal length and distance will enable you to master the basic composition technology from full-length to close-up. This can speed up your choice of focal length, so that you can easily lift the camera and take pictures. Finally, a little hint, you must have a quick response at any time. Of course, this is when the settings such as autofocus, automatic exposure, matrix metering (or multi-mode metering) and automatic white balance in the camera are ready.
