Correct Backdrop - Collateral Successful Photos

Some tricks with which you can get a beautiful background.

Blurred background.

Perhaps the most common technique for visualizing a subject is to blur the background.

Blur the background can be in several ways: with the maximum open aperture of the lens. Let me remind you that the more open the diaphragm, the less so-called. GRIP (depth of field of the image space), which means that the background is blurred more. And the second way, with the help of long-focus optics - the more the focal length of the lens, the stronger the background blurs. But here it is necessary to remember that in the case of long-focus lenses, the GRIP of envy from the distance of the photographer from the subject.

GRIP - the main tool in the arsenal of any wedding and family photographer for artistic images.

But the strongly blurred background does not always fit well into the composition of the frame. A successful example of the use of a clear background is a portrait of a girl lying on a juicy green grass, on the leaves of which are sunny rabbits.

Correct framing

If your picture contains unnecessary objects, distracting attention from the main subject, this is not an excuse to throw out an unsuccessful shot. The problem can be solved by framing.

Cropping techniques are successfully used by every wedding and family photographer. From the unfortunate growth portrait of the child, at the feet of which there were scattered toys and something unsuitable, one can make a quite good belt portrait. And from the waist, respectively, a close-up portrait.

When framing, make sure that the composition of the picture remains properly aligned.

Use monochrome backgrounds

Each photographer faced a situation where the background does not match the shooting conditions. A successful way to solve the problem is to use a solid background, which can be dense curtains, sheet, wallpaper, and everything that you can find at hand.

Do not be afraid to experiment

After looking around, you could not find a suitable background. Look up, lower your eyes down and you will find many new colors for your photos: a blue sky, maybe a pebble beach or golden sand ...

It is very advantageous to use the background to emphasize the color of the eyes of the model. Brown eyes successfully combine the backgrounds of natural wood (log house, fence, tree), the beauty of blue or green eyes can be emphasized with the help of surrounding foliage or located behind the pond or, respectively, selected artificial backgrounds.
