Hi, friends.
In yesterday's post I talked about composition. So many options and rules, and so difficult sometimes to quickly understand all the nuances and especially to apply them in practice. After all, we often take pictures of a moment, emotion, and sometimes there is no time to build a frame, observing all the rules and canons of composition. but ignoring them, we get shots that we regret and are forced to put the camera on a distant shelf.
Although other newcomers for some reason more quickly learn to make good shots. And they do everything so easily and simply. What is their secret? Maybe they're geniuses? In fact, really, there is a terrific technique that will help you at the beginning of your training to make decent shots. And I will tell you about it in this post.
In the process of any training, there is a danger of overloading the brain with new and new knowledge. A large flow of information pours out on us like a waterfall. And instead of the expected growth of our skills, we can see the reverse process. Work gets worse. So and in photos. Today you learned about the composition, tomorrow you realized that the light in the photo is important no less, and the color combination and on and on... And you need to not only properly configure the camera, but also take into account all the components. Ugh. This is complicated.
So what to do? How to simplify the perception of new knowledge? The answer is simple.
Look at the works of outstanding photographers.
Every day. Analyze and consider them in General and in detail. Create a folder on your computer and fill it with the works of professionals who touched your heart.
Can anyone write an interesting book without reading the great writers before? Or create a melodic song without listening to the creations of other musicians? So and in photos. Surround yourself with beautiful visual content. There are many sites that present the work of talented and skilled photographers. Watch their work, analyze them, take their work as a boost to your inspiration.
You can use some moments of their work in your photos. The location of the models, the tone of the photo, a good place to shoot. I do not encourage you to repeat other people's ideas, no. Copying someone's work is stupid and smells like plagiarism. But no doubt, you can draw inspiration and gain experience of "seeing the frame" by looking through the photos of professionals.
I hope my advice will be useful to you. Thanks for reading. See you soon! @ANNA-MI
