When we take or analyze a picture, we often use the word "sense of atmosphere".

To put it simply, the sense of atmosphere is a kind of immersive feeling brought to us by the photo, which contains not only the characteristics of the shooting scene, but also the author's own emotion. The strong atmosphere of the photo often infects the viewer.

So where is the sense of atmosphere of the photo? How should we show the sense of atmosphere in the shooting and post-adjustment?

Let's analyze it from these angles:

1. The color of the photo itself contains certain emotional characteristics and special meaning, such as red can represent enthusiasm, joy, blood and terror; green can represent nature, serenity and gloom.

Rendering the atmosphere through color is a means often used in early shooting and late color blending. For example, if we want to take a group of romantic and soft photos, we usually choose to shoot in the evening, when the light is soft. The sky and the ground will have a feeling of blue and pink, and these colors will give people a romantic and soft feeling.

If the scene does not meet these characteristics, we can make later adjustments, such as warm colors close to orange and pink, cool colors close to cyan, so that the environment shows a soft feeling.

Understanding the characteristics and meaning of various colors and using them reasonably in shooting and later stage can help us to better express the atmosphere of the photos.

two。 The light and shadow of light and shadow photos can also show a sense of atmosphere, which is mainly achieved through tone and tone span.

This goes back to the tone we discussed earlier. If you are not familiar with the tone, you can read this article:

If you want to have a better understanding of photography, you must know the "Top Ten Shadows".

(1) the low, medium and high-profile images can be divided into low-key, middle-key and high-profile, and the low-key photos are generally dark, which will give people a negative feeling, such as depression, darkness, etc., which is suitable to express a negative emotion.

The overall brightness of the mid-tone photos is medium, that is, the "normal exposure" photos we usually take, which are suitable for intuitive representation of the real scene.

The high-profile photos are generally bright and well-exposed, which will give people a positive feeling, such as sunny weather.

(2) the short, medium and long tone refers to the span of the tone, and the short tone refers to the short span of the tone, which is shown in the photo that the contrast is weak and the brightness is very uniform. The contrast of this tone is very small, which gives people a soft, leisurely and cozy feeling.

The middle tone refers to the moderate span of the tone, and most of the photos we usually take are relatively close to this tone, so there is more room for later adjustment.

Long tone refers to a wide range of tone, covering all from low-key to high-profile, that is, the light and shade contrast of photos is very strong, this tone has a strong visual impact and emotional appeal, suitable for the performance of strong emotions.

3. Virtual and real contrast is also suitable to show the sense of atmosphere, the most intuitive performance is that many people like to use large aperture lens and telephoto lens when shooting portraits, because they can make the background obscure or highlight the sense of air cut. thus through the virtual and real contrast to show the special texture.

A clear and sharp image will give people a sense of sharp edges and firmness.

And vague texture can also bring hazy feelings, both of which have their own characteristics.

4. Different compositions will highlight different elements and form different atmospheres, which is the influence of location. If we want to strengthen the sense of atmosphere in the photos, on the one hand, we can give more display space to the elements of atmosphere. On the other hand, we can put these important elements of atmosphere in an important position.

Strengthening the environment and weakening the characters (light and shade, size contrast, etc.) are very suitable for shaping the mood and atmosphere. In addition, the arrangement of the foreground and background will also affect the atmosphere of the photo, especially in street photography, if we want to show a certain atmosphere, and do not want it to affect the performance of the subject of the photo, we can arrange some atmosphere elements in the foreground or background:

Pedestrians, sunsets and streets form a strong street atmosphere. This article comes from the official account of Wechat: play some Photography (ID:wakexiao). Author: AGER
