How to create emotion in photography

Literally, a picture of no emotion, there is no soul, photography as a medium, also not only has the function of record, in a repeat of the scene at the same time, can convey emotions to the audience, is a critical step in capability to improve your photography.

That how to take pictures have emotions?

The influence of a picture, the color of mood

Few will understand, when people watch works, color is more than photos for the viewer's emotional influence of other factors, such as composition, light and even the theme, so choose the right color to show you and wants to convey the theme of the emotions, is the key to the success of works.

Different color can bring different feeling, blue gives a person calm, distant lonely negative feelings, such as green vitality, natural emotion such as love of others, but do not have strong directivity, and red since needless to say, on behalf of the festival, excited, excited, profiteering and emotion, brown has the feeling of elegance and balance, is purple on behalf of the mysterious nobility, and so on, the black represents repressed nothing such as emotion, white represents pure and holy. So the photographer want to choose color according to the own theme.

But the vast majority of cases, can't get a kind of color in the photo have separate performance opportunities, so we often put a work color as cool color and warm color attune, of course, black and white color, some work will have a warm and cool colors blend mutually, properly will make work stand out.

Warm color is derived by the sun's color, red, yellow and so on give a person the sense with warm and soft, such as orange, give a person the feeling of lively, happy and excited. The color and the matching, cyan, green, blue, purple, let a person feel quiet, composed, dependably. Forward at the same time, the warm color gives a person with feelings, and cool color to move, on the other hand, give a person with the shrinking, the feeling of stagnation. Warm color feel soft, soft, cool color gives a person the feeling of strong and tough. We use the following diagram to summarize the different characteristics of warm and cool color.

Shooting environment can be divided into big environment and small environment, the environment is the replacement photo contains an important link of information, both scenery and the humanities, especially taking snapshots, and this is why taking snapshots do not recommend the use of long focal length of the large aperture lens, the reason is simple - to sever the connection of the subject and the environment, become weak and lonely. In addition, the environment must be consistent with your emotions expressed by the which, otherwise works will look funny, shallow.

But personally I prefer larger scene, but also can impress people tend to be big scene photos, because I found, little and big scene contrast, bring out the best in each other, effect on the momentum and atmosphere. This portrait photography hue of the natural environment is very exquisite, as the effect of environment changes in temperature, often affect the subject. And black and white color, because black and white and the color of the two kinds of unity of opposites, can express the abstract too cautious emotions, and even can rise to a philosophical level.

Second, do not fall convention, like emotional transmission

Personally feel that the portrait works have overrun, homogeneity is quite serious, basically is a lot of sugar water small and pure and fresh, has already become the aesthetic fatigue. Which involves the basic visual elements to look pretty but has the movement pattern of the beauty, style similar costumes, presents the image slightly, low saturation images of tonality, scene is modeled, demanding show emotions become rigid affectation.

Third, individual objects can also have emotions

Whether the mood can only be revealed by people? Of course not, although the mood is that people have, but one can from gives his own emotions to other objects, you can call it medium, can be a person or object, depending on the medium to transfer to others, because of your creative process and means is a way to explore their own emotions, through the media, to convey to the audience appeal.

Most of the time, we can add your feelings to inanimate objects, make it become a symbol with directivity, for people to express their emotions, people are thinking, this work is not straightforward, but more interesting,

This is a very interesting, because it will make you produce a peep at other people's illusion, but you are on the others, two or more disordered superposition of space and time together, is really a good method to reflect the actual changes in individual inner activities. If you have multiple exposure camera function, it can save a lot of things, but no don't worry; powerful PS will help you make this dream the mood of the scene.

Conclusion:

In fact, the skills are just means, and you from the heart to understand and reach a certain height is the real purpose. Photography and all forms of art charm lies in the innovation and constantly go beyond, beyond our predecessors, beyond experience, eventually become a part of the heart.
