IPPA Global Film Awards winners teach you how to take a picture
From photography white to the global Iphone photography contest award-winning, May teacher to work, read books outside the time to manage the art. For every amateur photographer and hobbyist who are trapped in trivial daily life and work and cannot travel around, the best photography practice is everything in her life. In fact, most people who love photography are just as passionate about life as poetry. May tell you with his own personal experience. It is a kind of experience that makes life into art.
First, the inspiration in life
In fact, life has inspiration everywhere, just as the famous Japanese photographer Araki had said: to go to a certain photography school, absolutely does not work Oh, after all, the daily life of 'love' is not there, but around us This is the best photography school and photography teacher! From the accumulated experience, can let us learn how to photography. Therefore, photography is life, 'photographing' and 'living' is the same. So rather than complain about the triviality of everyday life, it is better to use a cell phone to find and find the ordinary beauty of everyday life that we often turn a blind eye to.
It can be said that mobile photography has changed the way I watch the world. Friends who like mobile photography will all have the same experience. As long as the phone is in hand, we will consciously look for the pictures that can be taken, observe the lines of a building, the color of a flower, the shape of a cloud, the expression of a strange passerby , A reflection of a bursting of water, slowly, this conscious search will become a habit, unknowingly mobile phone has become an important teaching aids, church, I do not shoot when to watch the world . Too many new things, too much excitement and too fast tempo in modern life can make us become flippant or indifferent, and mobile photography can make us slow down to observe and feel to record, to build the heart Feel the connection with the outside world.
The first step in learning photography is to pick up the phone in your hand at any time, ready to take a photo of the attitude, so that this teaching aids with us in the forgotten and neglected corner digging out new beauty. Over time, hope we can also practice a pair of photography eyes, with the magic of ordinary magic. Below, I send out some of the pieces I shot in my daily life, most of them at home, on campus or on the way to and from work. Learning photography before walking is not stoop, hurriedly, after studying photography in addition to looking around, will often look up, look down, and even waiting on the side of the road.
Second, the main style of choice
1, shoot your favorite and familiar things
Piece photography is characterized by a small see the big, see the micro-know, a successful piece of photography should be extraordinary subject matter shot extraordinary. So I think almost everything around you can become the subject of the filming. But I suggest choosing your own favorite things. In fact, we are somewhat tired after getting off work every day. If we force ourselves to face something we do not like to complete a task, photography will become particularly boring. For example, I especially like flowers and trees, each time facing the beauty of these nature, the process of shooting a particularly happy, often feel that time slipped away unconsciously. Often, my friends want to learn photography, but they are worried that they will not be persevere. They will not be persevere. I will reply that in fact photography does not need perseverance and hard work requires perseverance. Photography is to get along with beautiful things. You only need to feel and love these beautiful things, enjoy the photography process, and do not need to persevere at all. Photography is actually shooting us. For example, I am a more sentimental person who often has a lot of sentimental feelings about the withering and impending life, so in addition to the flowers, I am the dead leaf of another of my frequent subjects.
I do understand skit photography shooting some inanimate objects, the photographer to give the subject the emotion and life, and when shooting your favorite things more easily into the emotion, to shoot the soul of the main body. Home decorations, dolls, toys, glassware, tea sets, vegetables, fruit, etc. can be used as the subject, a word from the shooting of their favorite things to start
2, shooting impress your moment
Sometimes, a scene in life will suddenly touch us some moment, reminds us of the poem I read, the song I sing, the picture I have drawn, the movie I've ever seen, or even the dream I've made. Try the camera to capture this feeling. Andrea Curtiz once said: Just watching is not enough. You have to go to feel the object you are filming. Photography is by no means meant to mechanically copy the objective world, but more to express our feelings and thoughts.
Photography Church we pay attention to our inner feelings. We must keep aware of the life and the external world at any time. This awareness will make us sensitive and insightful, so that we can make the photos touched. Everyone's life experience is not the same, like the character is not the same, not the same feeling, thinking perspective is not the same, others tell you what is not important, it is important to follow your heart, pick up your phone shooting impress your moment.
3, proposition shooting
Weekly give yourself a topic to shoot training, such as this week special attention to life in a variety of lines, the next week is the shape or color or light and so on, keen observation is not born, is by long-term conscious Training, I still insist on doing such training.
The other is asking yourself to shoot the same object from different angles. It is also a very good training to develop photographic thinking. When developing the habit of watching from different angles, even in the scenic spots being slaughtered can make distinctive work. We often say that photographers should have a pair of good eyes to discover. This eye is not born, is to train up and exercise. For example, I bought two red calla lilies two weeks ago and took the following photos of different angles and different styles.
In addition to realistic practice, I will do creative shooting, this is a slow shutter with longest shot a blurred, and then combined with another clear picture, photography is a mirror, but not just the map In fact, it should reflect our inner feelings and imagination. The two pictures taken in my heart are flowers that are non-flowers, foggy, midnight, and dawn.
The above is the subject of the shooting for everyone to some suggestions: shooting their favorite things, shooting impress their own scenes, and then do some proposition shooting training.
Third, build their own scene
Why practice the scene?
Painting and photography are complementary, and many of the best photographers I know learned painting. Many years of painting practice make them feel good about light and shade, shades, hues, lines, shapes, textures, balance, rhythm and sense of space, so they can easily and intuitively pick, up the camera. Unfortunately, I have never learned any kind of painting, so it is very important for me to practice the scene with the scene. The three major themes of the sketch I learned are to learn from the filming of.

Look at this white vase, you can very intuitive understanding of bright, gray, dark side, highlight, light and dark junction and reflective, etc., you can observe the relationship between light and shade, hand move the screen, change the metering point, you can also understand what High light over exposure, the dark death of black, over time you can see at a glance the exact exposure of the photos, the time in the film can also pay special attention to the details of high school and low key parts and light and shade coordination. I think photography in the sketch is like painting in the sketch, are very important basic exercises. The story that Frojkiow had only painted his eggs in the early years of drawing by Leonardo da Vinci was enough to illustrate the importance of basic skills.
By building a simple scene, we can most intuitively experience the magic of light, let us focus on what is usually ignored, such as the source of light, strength, astigmatism or condenser and so on some issues. Only by paying attention to and understanding these problems can we control the light. The essence of photography is to paint with light. No matter how many advanced books you read to learn the light, none of the hands-on experience you get is intuitive and impressive.
And when our basic skills are well-trained, we can calmly capture when we travel to distant places for beauty and moments.
Fourth, light art
We all know that photography is a light art. There is no grand scene for sketch photography. There is no spectacular scenery and no story. Therefore, it is more important to control the light. Light is used to make light and shadow, highlight the main body, create atmosphere and contrast emotions to achieve the artistic effect.
Understand the light according to the classification of light can be divided into natural light, scene light and artificial light.
Natural light: The light provided by the sun's rays.
Sunlight is one of the best and most magical things in the world, and often has the power to turn things into something magical. Learn to observe, find and wait for light is a compulsory course of photography.
The same flower, the feeling of light and no light is completely different.
2. Scene light: The light encountered in the indoor area is called the scene light, including the sunlight coming in from the window and the indoor lighting, etc.
3. Artificial light: in photography which specifically refers to the photographer in order to achieve creative intent and artificially set the light source, fill light, flash and photo studio strobe lights are artificial light.
Light in accordance with the orientation is divided into a positive light (shun light), side light, backlight and top light and bend light.
1. Shun light: refers to the projection of light and camera shooting direction consistent or basically the same. Shadows are hidden behind the characters in the composition of the screen there is no obvious relationship between light and shade. Shun light so that the uniform subject brightness, but also easier to block the skin blemishes, but at the same time will also lack the three-dimensional sense of shape and shape, Shun Guang portraits easy to make cake face. When shooting natural scenery is not enough beautiful color is not recommended to use the light to shoot.

2. Blacklisting: The direction of the light and the camera shooting direction are the opposite. The edge of the body has a clear light contour. The screen has an obvious contrast. Backlight is also known as the 'contour lighting' is the most elegant way of using light, the picture effect is very vivid, and full of modeling features. When shooting scenery can also be used to shoot silhouettes.

3 side light: is an excellent shooting scenery, sharing the light of the texture. Often will form a strong shadow, when shooting people will create a more profound, dark and dramatic personality. Still life shooting often uses side light,

Photography and light are inextricably linked. If we compare the camera of a photographer to a brush, then the light is his oil paint. The first step in learning to take a good picture is to learn how to use the light. To develop their own sensitivity to light, ask yourself before pressing the shutter which is Shun Guang or backlight, the light is too hard? Will it be too bright or too dark? Where should the light shine? If the light is not good enough, then how to improve it, adjust the settings or adjust the angle?
Fifth, the late creative steps
Proficient use snapped basic repair
Repairing ideas
