Many people will say that it is necessary to "subtract" in the photography process.

This is reasonable, whether in the early shooting or in the post-editing process, through "subtraction" can remove the irrelevant elements in the picture, looks more concise and generous, the theme is clear.

In our usual shooting, we can also learn from "subtraction", especially for beginners, we can try more concise style, which is conducive to technological progress and promote our understanding of photography.

In "subtraction" during shooting, we need to pay attention to these aspects:

1. To clarify the relationship and highlight the key points, we usually shoot around a certain theme, and the main body of the picture is usually an important element that can well express this theme.

Therefore, whether we are in the composition or in arranging the tone relationship, it is best to work around the subject.

In other words, let the subject as the focus of the picture, analyze the primary and secondary relationship between each element and the subject, highlight the sense of existence of the subject in order to better express the theme.

For example, when we shoot ancient buildings, we want to show a sense of history and vicissitudes, then if there are modern buildings or other obvious modern elements nearby, because these modern elements can not interact with ancient buildings or even have side effects, we had better not include them in the picture, but to highlight the ancient buildings.

Of course, if you want to express the comparison between the past and the present, it is a different way of thinking.

two。 Removing irrelevant elements is very similar to the example we just mentioned, that is, elements that do not match or have nothing to do with the subject of the photo are removed from the screen, or clipped later.

In order to ensure the simplicity of the picture, we can also reserve a certain "negative space" for the picture.

To put it simply, "negative space" means leaving blank, such as a large cloudless sky and an empty background wall. "negative space" can not only make the picture appear concise and clear, but also make the picture have a "sense of breathing", that is, it looks free and flexible. There is no sense of pressure caused by too many elements.

3. Highlight the essential characteristics of the subject this is a bit similar to makeup, good-looking makeup is not necessarily heavy makeup, makeup, combined with personal characteristics of natural makeup sometimes looks more attractive.

The same is true of photography, where too many decorative elements or too much later stage may be counterproductive in order to find an effect.

Therefore, we should use all kinds of skills appropriately, and it is not advisable to use skills in order to use them. In addition, we should also learn to analyze the essential characteristics of the subject, and then show it during shooting.

For example, when we shoot pets, "cute" and "understanding of human nature" may be more in line with the characteristics of family pets, then we can analyze their anthropomorphic characteristics, and we can shoot through snapshots, interaction and other ways.

Combined with the essential characteristics of the subject to highlight the focus, can better express the theme in a concise way.

That's all for today.
