Hello friends, good vibes to all.
When I say what I say in the title of this publication is because it really is so and there is no doubt about it. This profession has the ability to create, from scratch, different worlds and all of them products of our inventiveness and creativity. In my case I always try to do it with two elements: flowers and toys, because the first ones are incredibly beautiful taken to macro photography and the second ones because just by using your imagination it is possible to have a beautiful photo.
It is very difficult not to be repetitive with some captures but in this small world each photo is totally different one from the other because of lights, colors, etc. Of course, there is a big difference between photos of this style and the typical ones taken of a certain flower and here you have to play a lot with the position of the toy and above all with the light so that the result is as diverse as possible.
By having a professional camera, although many cell phones can do it, we can play a little with the very famous depth of field as it allows us to create captures or scenes that really give another kind of touch and taste to the photos. It's not just putting the toy car in a certain place and that's it, it's taking the picture with your mind first and visualizing it in such a way that you can then proceed to make the click. Certainly it's a job that requires practice and a bit of a trained eye but it's nothing that anyone can't do.
Going back to the photos, we see how a small crane can be in different situations and places and in which we don't have any kind of context. That's what it's all about, to be able to create a story from a group of photos and from there begin to create that universe I'm talking about. That in photography is called a "photographic series."
In other words, the photographic series are the ones that allow us to create a story because they are photos which are linked to each other either by their concept, because of the elements that appear in it and even by the way they were edited. An example of this? - The captures that I show you today. Some pictures that I took thinking about the universe of the movie "Cars" or why not, "Toy Story."
Just imagine that each one of these little cars had life and based on that each photo would be an experience. No doubt we are getting very fanciful but friends, to take pictures like this is very good to have a little bit of that mentality because I assure you that the final product will be much better and of higher quality.
And I tell them that it helps because the very moment they start thinking about what they want to do, ideas will start popping into their heads like never before. And finally, other things that are VERY IMPORTANT besides imagination, is to be aware of the proportionality of the objects. You have to imagine, in this case they are cars but it applies to any other object, how a photo of these objects would look like in real size, but why? - Well, so that the photo is as realistic as possible.
It is useless to make this kind of photographs if we are not going to respect that concept. So if we want to create the perfect universes it is only fair that we keep in mind the two things we touch on today: imagination and proportion. Handling these two terms properly I assure you that you will be able to produce whatever you have in your mind and logically making good use of the device of your choice the photos will be much better achieved.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
