Photography is an activity that requires imagination and creativity, not only in the final picture, but also in the process of taking and thinking.

Reasonable use of props is an important manifestation of photographic imagination and creativity.

In everyday shooting situations, there are many common and practical props that we can make good use of when shooting:

1. Mirrors In addition to the traditional sense of "mirrors," water surfaces, glass, smooth surfaces, etc. that reflect light can also be regarded as "mirrors," all of which can provide reflection effects and bring different effects to our photos.

Using specular reflection, we can easily construct symmetrical compositions that make ordinary scenes aesthetic;

Mirrors can also incorporate different angles of scenery into the picture, which can produce wonderful effects at the right angle, especially when shooting portraits, the characters in the mirror make the photos more attractive.

Some photographers are used to carrying a small mirror when they go out to shoot. Using its reflection function, you can get a lot of interesting pictures.

Sprinkle water droplets on the mirror, can also create a fantastic effect.

2. Water A bottle of water can play a big role in shooting.

Water not only quenches thirst, but if we pour it on the ground, it forms a reflective surface, a natural "mirror," so that we can shoot creatively in many places (be careful not to pour freely, not to affect others).

On rough ground, water may not form a reflective surface, but it can also make the ground appear dotted reflection effect. When shooting at night, it can play a certain ground supplement effect and enhance texture.

3. Lighting in the evening and night shooting, the most troublesome thing is the lack of light, and roadside light boxes, signs and so on is a very good light source.

If you are shooting portraits, you can get people close to these light sources, which may produce very good results; many outdoor artificial light sources will have a variety of colors, and reasonable use can also get cool pictures.

We can also carry an led light line when we go out, although the brightness is not strong enough, but it can create a sense of atmosphere, very practical when shooting outdoors.

4. Mobile phones are also very good shooting aids.

First of all, the mobile phone screen is a very practical reflective mirror, we can use its smooth performance to build symmetrical, reflective effects;

Secondly, mobile phones are also a good light source, whether it is screen lights or flash lights, can be a practical fill light device.

There is also a very practical trick: when we have difficulty focusing in low light, we can turn on the mobile phone flash and place it near the focus point, waiting for the camera to complete focusing with its brightness before shooting.

In addition, we can also use the camera of the mobile phone to include the screen of the mobile phone in the picture, so that we can take the "picture-in-picture" effect, and the ordinary scene looks more interesting.

5. Lens UV lens, glasses, etc. of the camera lens can also play an interesting function when shooting.

First, they can form a framing effect, providing interesting foreground for the picture;

Secondly, glasses with degrees can form a wonderful blur effect when placed in front of the lens.

Sunglasses, colored glasses, etc. can act as "filters" for the lens, and can also get different pictures.

Many of the items we carry with us can be used as shooting props. When we go out to shoot, we might as well make good use of these items.
