Make your landscape photos vivid

In Chinese landscape painting, natural landscapes such as mountains, trees, clouds and water are the main part of the picture, taking up a large proportion of the picture. The characters in the scene are often only interspersed and dotted with small shapes, but they play a vital role.

From the aesthetic point of view, the effect of point characters is multifaceted. It not only helps to fully depict the image of natural beauty, helps to manage the position of the beauty of landscape composition, but also helps to show the theme of people in the field of nature, and helps to show the harmonious relationship between people and nature.

In landscape photography, the appearance of figures often has the same meaning. The traces of the figures or people's activities in the landscape often become the center of the picture, and also reflect the photographer's point of view, emotion and value orientation. This article will focus on the techniques and methods of photographing people in the landscape.

The figure should be the visual center of gravity of the picture

When shooting, the position of the characters should be taken into account first, so that the scenery becomes a representation of the mood of the picture and the inner world of the characters. Reflect the photographer's understanding of life, the society's praise or blame, for natural, as if there's a live on under the background of the landscape reflects social life and emotional state of mind of a full length drama, so when shot composition, should as far as possible to build the stage, the tendency of the picture there is a dramatic, can afford for thought, the delicate and able to bear or endure look.

The proportion of people in landscape photography

Although the figure is the center of gravity of the picture, but the subject should not be too large, otherwise it will become an environmental portrait. What we mainly express is our understanding and attitude towards the scenery. Therefore, the figures should be arranged as small as possible, which is often processed into silhouette effect. Therefore, the appearance and expressions of the figures are often ignored, so that the viewers can have a sense of substitution, such as the artistic effect of "people in the middle of a painting".

Tiny figures need to be highlighted to become the leading role of pictures, so people should try to avoid heavy and complicated is mixed and disorderly around the scene, such as the dark figure around the background should be shallow light and pure, to highlight the shape and dynamic characters, on the other hand, the light color characters background should try to choose dark background, around the same.

However, because we highlight the role of the characters in the scenery, the behavior, action and emotion of the characters also tend to affect the expression of the atmosphere in the picture. In the shooting, the characters often keep moving and changing. We can choose a scene, wait patiently, and press the shutter when the characters have appropriate action and position. This is also a common shooting technique in documentary photography.

Sometimes the characters will have a very wonderful moment, at this time, we should promptly adjust the composition, accurate capture, which requires us to always pay attention to the changes in the scene, concentration, often cannot die and so on, to find the most appropriate time when the scenery is constantly changing.

When you encounter a good scene, you can also let your partner play the role of the dramatis personi impromptu to achieve a perfect control effect. It is also a kind of shooting method, which is the most commonly, used expression technique of conceptual photography which is very popular nowadays.

The composition and painting of a human landscape

But around the world view of photography, there is no scenery photography, only landscape photography (or landscape photography) this concept, landscape photography tend to be more focus on the human activity traces in natural environment landscape behind the refraction of the relationship between human and nature, people on the natural environment and the influence of the activity, and the refraction of social changes, environment changes, political and economic reality and so on.

Many people who like to shoot scenery are prone to fall into the trap of pure photography's light and shadow effect and perfect composition. The shooting scope is narrow and the scenery is beautiful, but it is difficult to show distinct personality and impress people because artistic conception and photography language are similar. Perhaps we should change our ideas, absorb the advantages and advantages of foreign landscape photography, and then trace back to the traditional Chinese landscape, "the nature of the external teacher" and "the source of the heart" of the unified artistic pursuit of things, may create unique and intriguing new Chinese landscape photography.
