Contrast methods in the application of wedding photography

1, the elderly and children - age’s contrast of metaphor

In wedding photography, the elderly and children are the most easy to make the brilliant picture or bring tear. The newlyweds and seniors or junior shooting in the same picture, not only to show affection, but also to express a kind of inheritance. Clever use of photography skills, plus a certain foresight, perception, can capture the touching and meaningful images. Many old people don't know about marriage now what to do, but my heart is still full of the blessing, children, too, often only muddled ground, curiously looking at what's going on. People in different s understanding of marriage is different, in the same picture, form a conceptual visual conflict. Photographer in the third person view to see their stories, watch their expressions and movements, eye contact, through the camera to record these interesting and revealing moments.

2, harmonic color - the most intuitive visual contrast pattern

A photo brings a person the most intuitionist feeling often come from the color of the picture. Although for wedding theme color is not a photographer can decide, but we still can according to the environment, clothing, ornaments and other core color to play the wedding ceremony, mediate the relationship between the various color, purposefully into the frame and the choice of colour, to highlight the picture focus, the purpose of production gout center. It is the core principle of using color, harmonious, concise. Harmony does not mean that the combination of similar color, contrasting colors often also could lead to a balanced and harmonious effect. Can produce a strong contrast color combination can make the picture has a unique charm, yellow and blue, for example, they are in the color wheel is complementary relationship, but the match is very harmonious. It is important to note that at this time if there are other colors appear in the picture, is their adjacent colour is the best. For the picture color very confusion or not harmonious, the most simple processing technique are converted to black and white photos; Color temperature or using an external light source interference environment, so as to change the original color rendering approach; Late can also use some methods to deal with fine every kinds of colour in the picture, to the state of harmony and concise.

3, mirror effect, space is the contrast and also emphasized

Now wedding photography, the mirror has become the most common and one of the most indispensable element, the photographer can not only rich images by specular reflection effect of visual elements, more important is that it can collocation, the space and contrast, symbol, such as echo, emphasize the effect.

Toilet glass, dressing mirror, window glass, TV, metal profiles, all can produce the mirror effect element can be used for us. Photographers to understand mirror principle, use to adjust the "distance", control the size of the "like", so that you can through the mirror to accurately grasp the elements present. Mirror area is larger, the photographer is very easy to her, but blocked by reusing a small mirror to themselves, many mirror used together can also achieve the same elements, but different effect, In addition, for wedding photography, the mirror is the biggest advantage is that, in the same picture, clearly showing the space within different point of view, to take people's emotions, not people are back or side face.

4, light source color temperature difference dissimilation, colorimetric best practices

Most often, when filming the wedding photographer will choose to use automatic white balance, because of the light, large difference of environment, change quickly, it is difficult to complete accurate white balance correction at any time. And, the photographer will try to avoid the color temperature difference is too large environment, the light is too miscellaneous often affect the depiction of characters and shape. Mention using light color temperature differences for creation, most photographers thought is some still works, such as wedding shoes, wedding ring, etc. But sometimes shoot a big scene images, we can also use environment temperature difference comparative effect of changes in temperature to create a picture. Before sunrise, sunset sky color temperature on the high side, the metropolitan present a violet, it's low and indoor warm color temperature of light source is a great contrast effect. Or is the warm tone light source inside the room and corridor of cold light source, can also on the color contrast effect.

5, interesting composition scheme -- divisional space contrast effect

Composition is the most important elements of photography in the language. Actual composition of the process is the contents of the film "filter" and "arrangement", through the camera viewfinder to grasp the relations between the weight of the frame, primary and secondary, the proportion of main body and space relationship, change numerous for brief, seek a kind of image expression, make the person interested in the content of the picture form.

For a wedding photographer, shooting environment is very necessary, all sorts of line, frame in the environment, the light can be used for you. Should want to experiment with different composition scheme more, to make interesting pictures, at the same time using lines, light and shade, far or near, the actual situation, make the painting space segments, and the content of contrast and echo. Through composition skills, form and content perfectly fused into a work. Picture, two stories, normally this kind of pictures I was like, because it is more vivid, more expressive and appeal.

6, the actual condition, stress & artistic conception beauty

When filming the wedding, in order to capture more information, many photographers prefer to take appearance depth range is larger, but the proper use of small depth of field, not only can strengthen the contrast images of the actual situation, is more advantageous to highlight the key, to strengthen the core elements, but also make the image more artistic aesthetic feeling. We all know that when the camera is determined, determine the depth of field of three elements: the aperture size, the length of the lens focal length, the shooting distance. The smaller the aperture, the greater the range of depth of field; The longer the focal length, depth of field range is smaller; The closer shot distance, the smaller range of depth of field. Effective use of the depth of field technique, realize the picture of the actual expression, have a purpose to highlight the focus image, emphasis on moving mood, and leave more imagination space for the viewer. In fact, when it comes to the picture of the actual situation, in addition to the depth of field elements, also with filming of the shutter speed is associated with the movement speed of objects in the picture, then we take a look at "the dynamic and static" problem.

7, action, apply colours to a drawing the atmosphere & frozen moment

Using the picture elements in dynamic and static, build a special artistic atmosphere, show the feeling of a frozen moment. Is also a dynamic and static, presentation has two kinds, one kind is dynamic elements in the fast shutter speed relative to the picture, all can make the picture showing a clear effect, give a person a sense of the world by press the pause button; The other is a dynamic elements slower shutter speed relative to the picture, the final pictures will present a blur ghosting effect, give a person a kind of according to the feeling of the slow play button. Anyway, in comparison of dynamic and static element, increase the vitality of the image and spirit move feeling, better able to render the scene atmosphere.

Eight of each element, the use of space compared to form a story

The use of contrast methods doesn't have to have cleared, opposite or different two elements can be achieved, sometimes the picture content on many elements of the mixed display, also can form a kind of implicit in the sense of contrast. And the use of this technique, which is beneficial to in limited single image, increases the amount of information and the story. The contrast, more of a sense of connection to each other is enough to have the effect of added, to better show the whole plot and scene. It is important to note that the photographer decided to have inner link, into the lens picture cannot be messy, and the relative position of the characters in picture is also key. At this time, you need a photographer to boot, boot at the heart of not let them do, but in what position to come up to do.

9, with light contrast to depict the mood

I love the light contrast of a natural flavor, so I don't like to make photos HDR effect. Appropriate light contrast can offers an excellent characters mood, build the atmosphere of the scene. Tone exquisite images, not only look more comfortable, also can form the visual effect of a highly artistic lasting appeal. Grasp the relationship between the light and dark tone is a basic skill for a photographer, you can try from the black and white image practice, skim the color of numerous and complicated, the pursuit of the most simple light and shadow.
