Learn how to build a photographic system of late-stage learning process Photos

Before talking about shooting ideas too much, today to systematically talk about the late learning and methods. First of all, I personally think that the early and late photography, the latter is the essential step of photography, the latter is the effective enhancement of the early filming, but not equal to the changed beyond recognition, the highest state of the latter should be left no traces, that is, so that viewers can not see the traces of your later, everything is in line with the visual and optical effects of the later works So, here we do not do whether the photos should be discussed later, directly to the point, the system to talk about how to establish a later thinking.

The first step: solid technical Foundation

I am doing photographic sharing class often meet the shadow friends to share the later and PS technology sharing confusion, here I personally think can not be confused. If you are going to learn photography later, the first step is to choose a software, whether it is PS or lightroom, the common need to do is you have to learn to use these software correctly, for example, how to adjust the saturation, how to layer, how to build a mask, how to color, how to adjust the colors These beginners to the Internet to search for teaching video, has many great God to share a lot of technical tutorials, our weekly photography sharing class also insist on occasional share of technical small video.

I was in the way of online professor sharing Lightroom How to later photos, found that there are some shadow friends even the basis of the Lightroom Foundation are not solid, such as how to enlarge and reduce the adjustment brush, these technical basis is through Baidu search, you need to learn to lay the foundation, Otherwise, you may not be able to understand when you see other people's later sharing cases. So, do not talk about style, talk about color, talk about thinking, first solid technical basis, this is the first step, anyway, are jumping a threshold, but also the basis of the foundation, very important. Or the same old idea. Many novice friends don't worry, I was eight years ago when the formal decision to learn PS, in order to hone the basic foundation, a photo repeatedly more than 30 more than the later version of the comparison, their own continuous understanding of a change brought about by the poor, so, solid technology after the future can be flexible application, extrapolate.

The second step: first set up the late thinking, and then proceed to adjust

Get a picture, do not rush to start later, first glance past, first to learn to slowly comb their own later thinking, that is, a picture where there is a problem, the so-called later more is the lack of early filming to make up.

1, first see is not a little exposure, or overexposed, if there is, then the first step is to add and subtract exposure, so that it looks more comfortable, in line with the beauty of vision. At least how much, minus how much, it is a personal aesthetic problem, there is no need to unify the standards, learn to build their own personality, this is the first step.

2, exposure to solve the problem and then see the composition of the problem, to do subtraction, to see where is superfluous, is not related to the entire photo theme elements, if you can cut off, then in the proportion and beauty of the premise can not hesitate to cut off. Here live a picture of the problem of visual balance, if the cut loss of visual balance, is not worth the candle. So, tailoring the photo must be subject to the visual balance of the elements.

3, completed the above two steps, is the official entry into the late theme: Color and light adjustment. My personal habit is to adjust the light first, finally adjust the color, adjust the light means to find the visual line of light, sunny there, cloudy also, each photo of light formed a visual line, but also the entire picture of the guide line. This light is not necessarily can see the light, the light overlap is also lights, the main body of the line itself is a kind of light, for beginners, can not rensili, learn to flexibly find light is not only the shooting essentials, but also the essentials of the latter. After finding the light, all the photo elements are adjusted around the main line of light, the highlight of the highlighted place, the pressure of the dark place. Here may be new people will ask, where to highlight, where the dark, I can only reluctantly say that this is a personal aesthetic and style problems, unable to customize the standard, late learning three is the technology, the seven points is also the art of aesthetic outside the technology.

4, the last step should be only color adjustment, color adjustment is not beyond recognition of the arbitrary adjustment. In principle photography is always the art of realism, that is, you can not change the original color of the object, such as the original green woods, you changed to blue, it is unreasonable. But if the emerald is slightly darker and makes it look less conspicuous, it's OK. Color adjustment needs to adjust the area separately, I often see many shadow friends palette is the overall batch adjustment, the lake to adjust the blue, the lake on the boat also adjusted into blue, it is always strange to look at. In the blue sky to make the same time, you can not make the ground is also more blue, so the later color adjustment must be divided into regional adjustment, with adjustment brush respectively.

Step three: Gradually improve the aesthetic, form their own photo style

After talking about the technical issues, we will continue to talk about art issues. Photography is a strange art, as a record, is recorded, as art to taste, but also the charm of art. The above technology to share, there are a few vague concepts, such as, tell the shadow friend how to fencing, but how many knives cut, the strength of the knife is not to share, this is the accumulation of personal aesthetic, feedback of personal personality and beauty preferences, and there is no right or wrong, there is no standard. Pictures have always been only you or you don't like, there is no one who is wrong.

Therefore, I suggest that the shadow friends in the late learning, can be systematic at the same time to learn some artistic aspects of things, a little bit of literary skills, more art experience, always let you look at the world's perspective and vision is different. For example, look at the western paintings of the Renaissance, you can also look at home and abroad good architectural design works, and then you can see the Chinese calligraphy line between the outline of the feeling, are to their own aesthetic has a great promotion and help. The same photo to shoot, to the later stage, different people always have different styles, this is entirely a personal emotional level of factors occupy a large position caused. Taking photos is part of the rational data and parameters, but return is the work level, it is a perceptual art, so, beauty is the eternal theme.
