6 WAYS TO CAPTURE EMOTION IN YOUR
PHOTOGRAPHY | Photographer Directory
I believe the most
important element to be captured in a photograph is emotion. The more emotional
the shot is, the more it appeals to our senses, and the greater the connection
we feel to it. If a picture conveys emotion – whether it’s happiness, surprise,
sorrow, disgust – it is successful.
Many of us that like
taking photos everywhere we go in order to capture best moments of a meeting or
a date, or the funniest moments spent with friends. These are moments of life
that will be never left behind from our memory.
But how exactly can a
photo do this? It is not about the photo, it is about the message of the photo
and the transmitted emotion. When taking a photo you have to do your best to
capture the essence of life, all the elements of the background at the right
place, the beautiful smile of the loved person which reminds you why you love
her so much. A wrong detail can ruin your photo and that is why you have to pay
a lot of attention in order to get perfect results.
1.
Capture moments. When you are a
photographer and you are collaborating with different kind of couples then you
realize that capturing a caress or a glance at the appropriate moment is more
than a photo where everything is perfect placed or the landscape is dreamy. If
it is necessary you can use some color effects to make your photo look amazing.
2.
Be a good reader of the facial expression.
The best moment to
catch someone’s amazed face expression is the proposal time for sure. In that
moment there are millions of thoughts expressed in a single look. A natural
smile makes more than a thousand words, so try to get it.
3.
Look for details
You have to know
where to look. Not only the face and the eyes can share emotion. The gestures,
the handshakes, in a couple, the way of walking together, even the laughing of
the partners are a key element in capturing happiness.
4.
Use Portrait Mode if available on
your camera. Try to also make portrait – or vertical orientation – photo in
order to capture another side of a person, the natural side. The portrait mode
will allow the light to go into the camera in abundance. (editor's note) If you
don't have a specific portrait mode on your camera, try aperture priority and
set the fstop as open as the lens will go – lower numbers are better, ie f1.8,
f2.8, f.3.3 etc.
When having a photo
session, every element of the landscape or background must have a purpose. The
colors must fit perfect with the mood and must create a universe.
5.
Black and white landscapes.
Sometimes, a picture in white and black shows more expressions that a colored
one. Especially when you are a professional photographer and you have full
control of the photos, and you can make any area lighter or darker.
6.
Using continuous focus.
Moments to surprise a
real emotion are rare. So, in order to be prepared, you can set your camera on
continuous focus, to have the best photos in every moment.
For me, photography is
all about capturing authenticity, movement, spontaneity, and mood. It is a big
deal in capturing the emotion to give a successful photography story. The tips
will helps you to draw emotions in your photos.
