Practical and simple mobile phone photography skills portrait article

1, light: foster strengths and avoid weaknesses

Simple and smooth light, transparent side light and gorgeous backlight give different life pictures. Making good use of different light is the basis of taking good photos.

When shooting with a mobile phone, you should pay special attention to the light and shadow effect and exposure control ―― in these respects, it is difficult for a mobile phone to compare with a professional camera, so we need to develop our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

For example, when shooting in sidelight, it is easy to leave a shadow on the character's face, so be extra careful when shooting MM, at least don't let the shadow hit her face.

For another example, in the backlight position, it is difficult for the mobile phone to take a "normal" backlight portrait. After all, the tolerance of mobile phones is low, and it is difficult to completely solve it with HDR.

In this case, it is better to take a silhouette of strengths and avoid weaknesses! Low tolerance of mobile phones? Just what I want!

2. Human-landscape interaction

Let the characters become the focus of the picture, bring people into the scene, and the scene moves with people.

Reflection is also a weapon to improve the style of portrait photography. I will pay special attention to moonlight puddles and lakes after the rain.

When you approach the ground at an ultra-low angle. People, trees, rain and fallen leaves are all mysterious as if they were all in the inner senses.

3, the brain hole is wide open

If you want to add some fun, you can try to re-expose it. Take pictures in real focus and in virtual focus. Let the almost transparent you float in the center of the scene.

Post-App, it is recommended to use a picture synthesizer.

In fact, long-term posing is far less interesting than instant snapping. Do a triple jump. Make up a comic book. Dynamic you may be more delicious than static.

Tips:

1, this mobile phone is not shallow depth of field and high quality for SLR, but it can bring wonderful inspiration and stories;

2. How to present the narrative sense of the scene, the state of people and the interaction between people and the scene just right is the essence of the mobile phone blockbuster sense;

1, black and white silent film

If words can chant affection, then photos can tell the heart. Good photos have souls. You can describe the life you want in words, or record the lonely hell you see with your eyes.

So, how to take good-looking black and white photos?

1. Finding a scene suitable for black and white and simple composition can make the black and white tone more pure.

2. Emotion is the atmosphere. Explore the emotions in black and white photos. Gao Fancha and large dark corners can be used.

2. Inner feelings

In a good photo, it is not the equipment or PS that plays a decisive role, but your perspective and brain.

If the original film is flat, it is best to rotate it and be symmetrical.

Make good use of various lines in real life. Straight line, diagonal line, s line, radiation. Their existence will make the picture avoid being straightforward and look neat and nervous.

3. Minimal aftertaste

Minimalism is the only rule of mobile phone photography. That is, a large area of blank space, and a meaningful theme.

Please note that "space" does not mean "blank". Relatively monotonous scenery or regular lines can also make you shoot attractive minimalist works.

In addition, the so-called "large-scale blank space" does not mean that you have to shoot "big scenes" such as blue sky, grassland and sea.

As long as you have a passion for life and a keen eye for photography, some small details in life can still form an excellent minimalist picture after being enlarged.

1, beautiful scenery

Use natural light to shoot food and stay away from artificial light sources in restaurants.

If the light is asymmetrical and half dark and half bright, white objects such as paper towels and cardboard can be placed opposite the light source to reflect and fill the light. Clean and elegant materials with good texture are suitable as background. For example, logs, marble, white cardboard or light gray linen.

Of course, the protagonist is always food. It is best to finish shooting in a short time to keep the original taste, color and freshness of food.

2. The temptation to eat color

How to stimulate appetite with images? The best way is to make the food "look like it's going to be eaten".

If it is chicken soup, it is definitely more mouth-watering than a pot of cooking; If it's pizza, the pizza dipped in sour seafood sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds is definitely more attractive than a nine-inch disk and pie.

A Shuang Mu chopstick, a spoon, and intensive calories are enough to stimulate appetite and taste buds.

Don't forget, those small and exquisite chopped green onion, garlic cloves, barbecue scorch marks and crystal clear white rice are also worth recording.
