photography veterans know that increasing the sense of space of the photo can make the vision more impactful and infectious, bringing a better visual experience.
However, the photos taken by many friends seem too peaceful and without characteristics. When you look at the works of many excellent photographers, their photos are very spatial and layered, and they can always feel the gap.
How to make the picture more spatial and layered? Here, let’s discuss the 2 dimensions and 6 major skills that increase the picture space and levels! Let’s take a look together! 1, comparison method of shooting objects This method is to think about the layout of the subject in the picture when shooting, thereby creating a visual sense of space and depth. Specifically, the Poison Master believes that there are three commonly used ones, namely, size comparison, virtual and real comparison, and front and back comparison. . Size comparison
Near, far and small is the basic visual feeling. In a two-dimensional plane, when there are things that are big and small in the picture, visual conflicts are easy to occur.
Therefore, we can use the contrast of sizes of different objects in the picture to create a spatial hierarchy of the photos. For example, photographing a group of camel caravans in the wilderness and desert, a few seabirds on the vast sea, etc., the smaller things seem to have become farther away visually, and on the contrary, they appear closer.
. Comparison of virtual and real
We know that when there is foreground, medium scene and long scene in the picture, it will present a strong sense of space.
In photography, the foreground or back view is incorporated into the picture through framed scenes or compositions, and the foreground and back view blurring introduces the viewer's vision into the subject, so that the picture space and depth are available.
The so-called near reality and far virtual are everyone's visual feelings, so it is easy to create a sense of space by deforming the background. Of course, the contrast between virtual and real does not necessarily mean the background of virtualization, but also the prospect, or both are virtualized. The key is to create a sense of visual layering through the objects being virtualized.
. Before and after comparison
There is no harm without comparison, and there is no space without comparison in photography. Adding the foreground to the subject can well highlight the visual expression of the subject and increase the sense of space in the picture. There are many specific ways to add the foreground.
Like a plant scene, it is to look for drooping branches, layered flowers or sparse and dense vines when framed. Using the shading of plants to create a sense of depth and create a mysterious atmosphere, the so-called often-called trick to fool the eyes.
can also create prospects through building frames. Try various angles when shooting. Frame composition can be generated through windows, door cracks or building shape gaps, adding space and depth to the picture.
Compared to taking a single thing or character, the clever use of the foreground makes the picture produce a spatial relationship between the front and the back. Let the original two-dimensional plane show the three-dimensional sense of three-dimensionality, and the photos will also have layers.
2. Comparison of visual intuitive feelings
This method is to think about the layering brought to vision by imaging techniques during shooting, and use tone or geometric elements to create a sense of jumping and extension in the picture, and then produce a three-dimensional visual effect on the two-dimensional plane.
Specifically, the Poison Mage believes that there are three commonly used ones, namely light and dark contrast, color contrast and dispersion comparison.
. Comparison of light and darkness
The light and darkness of light can also create a sense of space. Bright objects are more visually attracted, while dark objects automatically become the background.
When shooting, the main subject is placed in the bright area of the picture, while the secondary subject is darkened. This light contrast will make the entire picture full of texture.
However, using light and shadow to increase the layering of the photo can also be done the opposite, which is to create dark shadows in front of the bright subject. This not only shapes the three-dimensional layering of the entire picture, but also makes the story and atmosphere of the photo stronger.
There is another visual rule that the greater the contrast between light and dark, the closer and more prominent it is to us. Therefore, when shooting, you must control the light position and light quality to create a sense of space.
If under side light or backlight, the three-dimensional sense of the photographed scene is stronger, and similarly, the sense of space generated by the hard light at noon is also stronger.
. Color comparison
We know that colors can be divided into cold and warm colors, and the visual feeling of cold and warm can also produce a sense of layering. Generally speaking, warm colors look closer to the audience, while cold colors are farther away from the audience.
During shooting, you should be good at observing the color warmth and cold in the scene, arrange the composition and picture reasonably, and at the same time, apply white balance or color temperature to adjust.
In addition, the difference in color saturation can also create a sense of layering. The colors in different areas of the picture are thick and light, which can also produce a rich visual experience and create a sense of space.
. Scattering comparison
Points, lines, and surfaces can be said to be the most basic presentation rules of all things. Points and lines are more likely to produce a sense of rhythm and rhythm. When the points and lines you see gather at a certain point, or disperse in a certain direction, the depth of the space is created.
So in photography, we often create a sense of space by grabbing point-like objects and lines. We can regard lights, cars, pedestrians, etc. in daily scenes as points, and roads, tunnels, stairs, etc. as lines. We should be good at observing the characteristics of these things in shooting to create a sense of space.
For photography, showing the scenery in two-dimensional plane photos a sense of space and depth is a basic cultivation and a practical skill. Learn it quickly!
