How to create a sense of atmosphere when taking photos with different postures

Photography skills:

1. Take photos from the back

Back photos make you more lonely , lonely, meditative, this state makes people feel very story-telling.

When taking back photos, there are the following key points:

(1) Black and white photos are a shortcut: because the color is gray, the color itself seems to tell a long-lasting story. For example, the picture above.

(2) Contrast: Even if the photo is not black and white, the overall photo should be darker. The subject wearing bright clothes can make the photo appear more lonely. For example, the picture below.

(3) Character posture: just take a picture of the back, with the main character lowering his head to think about something, or looking into the distance.

2. Take photos of shadows

Photos of shadows are like a shot in a movie, as if they are foreshadowing and making a statement, so they will make the photos appear more atmospheric.

When taking shadow photos, there are the following key points:

(1) When taking photos of people’s silhouettes, take photos of the side: Because of the side silhouette, the person’s outline is clearer. If people are walking around, leave some space in front of them.

(2) When taking shadow photos, the shadows in the photo should not be too big, not too dense, and should have light: this way the photo will be more mottled and interesting.

3. Eyes are the key point

If you are photographing people and their faces are shown, you should make the eyes of the people in the film tell a story. Because there are existing photos, when viewers look at photos, they will first pay attention to people, and when paying attention to people, they will first pay attention to people's eyes.

When photographing eyes, there are the following key points:

(1) Guidance: Eyes that tell a story don’t just happen. If you are not a professional model, you still need photography. With the guidance of a teacher, the subject can be asked not to look at the camera, but to gaze into the distance and be quiet for a while, leading him to think about things, memories, and old friends, and the story-telling look in his eyes will appear.

(2) Be natural: For example, in the picture below, the traces of posing are too obvious. No one would walk and suddenly turn around to do this action. It's unnatural, the artificial traces are obvious, and the sense of story is gone.

4. Photograph some small corners in life

The corners in daily life will also evoke memories of similar scenes in others, and the photos will resonate with the viewers and create stories. The feeling comes out.

When photographing corners, there are the following points:

(1) Photographing corners with a sense of age: with a sense of age, the sense of story and atmosphere will come out, and at the same time, it will be combined with light and shadow , the photos can be more beautiful.

(2) Photograph details: Photograph some small details to make the viewer feel like they are in the shooting environment, increase the sense of environment, and create a sense of story.

5. Depth and blur

Photos with a sense of depth and blur in the foreground will have a stronger sense of atmosphere. The blurred foreground is like a foreshadowing before telling a story. The story is told slowly, and the clear subject can be seen along the depth.

When taking photos with depth and blur, there are the following key points:

(1) The distance between the distant view and the blurred subject in the foreground must be sufficient: if the distance is sufficient, the blur effect will be Okay, the depth is long enough, the lead time will increase, and the sense of story will also increase.

(2) Clarity: The blurred foreground is the foreshadowing. The subject of the distant view must be clear, so that the key points of the photo are highlighted, and only the story in the sense of story has a foothold

6. Contrast

The pictures have contrast and tension. Photos of people have a sense of story. Combined with contrast, the photos will be more emotional. There are the following key points in using contrast to take photos:

Contrast of light and dark: There are many contrasts in photography, but the contrast of light and dark can best reflect the sense of story.

7. Shooting with light

Some photos emphasize shadows, while others emphasize light. The above photography techniques can all be used together.

Photos with a sense of atmosphere and story are basically inseparable from the shooting techniques introduced above. You can practice them regularly, which will be of great help in improving your photography skills.
