​What is photo details

The so-called expert to see the door, the amateur to watch the fun. When looking at some photographic works, it is easy to understand the details of photos that are often said, canvas prints but it is difficult to understand deeply. Say a lot of good works win in detail, sometimes also can't see. Sometimes hear people say some of the words of photography: tension, detail, light and shadow and so on. Listen to, as if everyone understand, can let people say why, but do not know how to say.

Today, we're going to give you a very visual example of the details of a photograph. What are the details? It can refer to small areas in your photo, canvas prints australia such as the shape of the outline of the object, or how pink and clear a girl's lips are. It can also refer to the degree of color continuity; the light-to-dark ratio of an image after exposure is also related to detail. For the convenience of understanding, details can be divided into physical details and conceptual details.

Physical details

What is a physical detail?

Physical details have a synonym: tolerance. But this is only a synonym, not a synonym. Since we cannot say that one picture is more tolerant than the other, panoramic canvas prints we can conclude that this picture is more detailed. We knew that when we were photographing landscapes, more tolerant machines could show better details. In short, the same composition, the same time to shoot the same scene, the more tolerant machine can accommodate more scenery, give people more details. This is called physical detail. Good work is better than the details, or very reasonable.

Be flexible with your composition, such as rearranging the image for perfection. Every photo I missed was a half-day shot, then a good focus, and finally a good adjustment of the aperture and shutter down. When it comes to composition, composition itself is very important, but "rules are dead, people are alive" : always use the three-point method, always take a close-up of the figure like a photo of a large head in the middle of the photo, yes, your composition is correct, but the photo can really be satisfied? How much time did you have to compose slowly into the viewfinder when you were sweeping the street? It's not that you don't compose, but a lot of times, "compose" is subconscious, and if you look at the viewfinder and think ok, then this photo is ok.

Photographic documentation is indiscriminate. These records not only contain the intention of the chronicler, but also inevitably record more details that the chronicler ignores, as well as the complicated relationship recorded by these details. This is what makes photography extraordinary in all forms of recording. Generally speaking, what people like most about photography, of course, is its recording function. But the most valuable advantage in photography, or one that no other form of recording could possibly have, is, strictly, the recording of details. Because this almost infinite detail is meticulously recorded, the photographer himself often finds something surprising in it that would not have been possible in any other form of recording; others, including future generations, can still, almost constantly, find new things in their pictures.

"Hierarchy" is mostly used to describe the subject, such as "to highlight the hierarchy of the subject." This is simply "you need to focus!"

In fact, I also want to say that everyone's personality, perspective and pursuit of beauty are different, all the beauty of art, cannot be defined under the rules. In particular, photography, I believe that many people have had such an experience: others took a photo, full of joy and satisfaction, to show off to you, although you perfunctorily agreed with the mouth, but in fact the psychology is secretly scold: what is this photo? ! After psychological scold again look at his triumphant expression, feel this person especially silly.

"Photography" after a certain degree of baptism of shutter number, each person's cognition will have different improvement, at the same time will have different direction. As long as you can have your own style and intention, you will have details, which is a good photo.

How to create the intention details

There are many subjects in the world that have been repeatedly shot by different photographers, but why do they always leave a lasting impression? Or do the details express the artistic conception?

Pictures of artistic conception, style, the details of the photo, should be a person go to explore, in life, in the usual practice in the photo, I think we even offer you advice, but that's not the photographer you want to express itself, just the photographer expressed, we want to express that eventually to develop your own style to little effect.

The place of detail in photography

In a rigorous analysis, the most valuable advantage in photography, or one that no other form of recording can possibly have, is the recording of details. Because this almost infinite detail is meticulously recorded, the photographer himself often finds something surprising in it that would not have been possible in any other form of recording; others, including future generations, can still, almost constantly, find new things in their pictures. The record of photography makes the objective record of human needs enter a new level. Clearly, this form of documentation is preferred for all areas where objective records are required. That's the beauty of photography.

Strictly speaking, anything that comes into the camera's field of view can be seen as detail. Because no matter the subject, accompany body, in front of the camera lens, they are always composed of countless subtle details. And the details that I'm going to give you probably need to be emphasized more than the ones that people are sure to notice. They are ubiquitous in every corner of the picture: costumes, creases, pickups, wall coverings, watermarks, branches, meaningless movements, momentary glances, etc. Perhaps careful women like to pay attention to any corner, are the details I said. For photographers, this attention to detail is far more important than women's attention is intended to be. This may be why women, when they become photographers, tend to produce better pictures than men.

Focus on the main points, but also record the details. But to be more scientific and active in the use of detail, photographers must carefully study the ways in which they discover it, pay attention to it, and make use of it. We should know that the so-called verve and reiki, especially the objective truth, is mainly expressed through details: reporters use it to describe the facts and tell the truth; Artists use it to render the atmosphere, express feelings; Philosophers use it to expound their knowledge and opinions; The police use it to find criminals... However, it takes much effort for other forms of record to restore these spiritual aura and complex interrelationships. Therefore, I call photography the art of capturing details.

The problem is that today's photographers, at least a significant number of them, continue to keep up with the old concept of documentation and have not yet developed the habit of paying attention to detail. They still only focus on the subject and the accompanying body, but the role and meaning of the existence of more details, not so much care, mostly let it be. Because quite a few photographers ignore the role of details, so their observations and records always seem less than satisfactory.

In the state of nature, if not disturbed, most details are always in harmony with the subject. If you are interested in a subject, take a picture of it, in most cases, the details do not destroy the harmony between the subject and the environment, most are playing a role in helping, foil, this is why it is often overlooked. On the contrary, because it is difficult to create a subtle order and people feel realistic, and therefore like to see more. That's the beauty of the snap. But the result of no choice to capture may not be able to reflect a meaningful theme, or the photographer's wish, therefore, can grasp the master, accompany the body and details of the subtle echo, often directly determine the quality of the photo.

In terms of documentary shooting, once you understand the importance of details, you should pay close attention to the role of details so that they can help you positively and record richer and more detailed contents.

In terms of narrative shooting (e.g., report photography, news photography), because you want to tell something, such as events, plots, characters, etc., you must pay close attention to every detail in the plot development process, capture every relevant dynamic as well as possible, and strive to explain the problem without explanation. And try to exclude extraneous things as much as possible to make it clear and clear (almost the only way to do that is to move and shoot).

In the case of expressive shooting (such as art photography), details can help you express your feelings (such as expressions or eyes), but also help you to explain the source of emotions (such as plot, action, clothes, related items). Similar things can help you foil, opposite things can help you contrast. Similarly, useless or disturbing scenes, if you do not know how to exclude the picture, can only make your work confused, people do not know what to do.

In speculative shooting, the contradiction between details and subjects, and between details and details, is often the most easy to prompt people to think. Of course, a master can also use seemingly general recording and narrative techniques, just plain description will trigger people's deep thinking. In this case, details matter. The wrong choice, readers think, may have been with the desire of the photographer.

In terms of paying attention to detail and making the most of it, efforts remain shallow and even clumsy. Most people prefer to avoid opening something they don't think they like before pressing the shutter. For example, life memento: in order to take a picture, people will stop what they are doing, tidy up the mess in front of the camera, and pose as if they think they conform to "social norms" before they are allowed to press the shutter. Not to mention finding a more meaningful background to pose for. This makes the photos look contrived, losing a fair amount of precious detail, and removing almost all rapport. Some people go even further than a family photo by simply cutting out all the details they don't like and organizing the image with only the elements they have chosen. If these people were not masters at weaving pictures, his work would be thin and shriveled, with only a few concepts left to show.

I must emphasize: shooting something itself, it has reflected the value orientation of the photographer, then cover up, big prints on canvas in the eyes of the wise, always appear vulnerable. So, unless you don't take it, or don't show it to anyone after you've done it (that's the attitude of the photographer), the photo will tell you everything and the explanation will always seem redundant. These images are full of light and dark consciousness of the photographer, mostly in the details.
