Phone shooting

携帯電話での撮影

Professional shooting on a modern smartphone nowadays does not cause any surprises. After all, they are equipped with several cameras and can do different effects than you want. Portrait shooting or film effect – with these functions, you can create art. And I, in turn, will tell you a few valuable characteristics that will help to make beautiful pictures.

Exposition
The exposure is the amount of light penetrating the camera matrix through the lens. The diaphragm of the chamber opens as a human pupil to absorb more light and narrows when fewer are required. Your phone has artificial intelligence and, in its way, adjusts the lighting frame. But with his vision, it is possible to argue, using the slider of the exposure – it is a yellow square with a sun, which appears during the focus on the object of shooting. Adjust it to get the amount of light you need.

Rule of thirds
The image in the camera is divided into 9 equal rectangles, and the photographer's task is to arrange the objects to shoot along or along lines. Following the rule, you will receive a winning composition immediately, directing the viewer's eyes in the right direction. The composition will also encourage him to consider the rest of the frame. Place the main shape of the frame not in the central rectangle, but closer to its framing lines.

Lighting
Light is a crucial component of photography. Experiment with shadows: sometimes, in the picture, they look more effective than the elements that throw them away. Capture the sun's glare and the light's reflection. Try to work with counterlight – leave the lighting behind the subject shooting.

And remember the important things:
«Golden Time» of the ideal frame – an hour after dawn and an hour before sunset.
The day's bright sun illuminates the images and creates a strong contrast between the dark and light areas. By placing an object directly under the sunlight on a dark background, you can get the effect of studio shooting. By shooting against the sun, you can catch the reflections, which at a certain angle will complement the frame atmospherically. Also, the contrast between light and dark areas will make landscape shooting look favorable, especially in the winter.

When shooting at night in a mobile photo, it is important to have static – the smartphone camera does not manifest itself well in low light. Use a tripod or a tripod to keep your smartphone stable. Don't press the camera button because the phone will catch the slightest fluctuation and leave you with a blurry picture. Press the timer so you have a few seconds, and the phone will be fixed at the moment of shooting.

An essential element of photography is the moment caught. In a mobile photo, it is much easier to do. Moreover, the memory of many smartphones allows you to take many pictures and choose the best of them. Browsing the media library, you will be able to examine the images in detail and make sure that on some of them, you were able to capture the sincere emotions of passers-by, the expression of the face of the animal, an exciting combination of nature and people in the frame.
