Living in a bustling urban city where there are so many beautiful and picturesque things to take pictures of. But, how are we able to take those beautiful shots? Don’t fret! On today’s blog post, I am going to give you a few tips on urban photography.
1. Capture still in motion
You can also try cinemagraph (a still picture in which a minor and repeated movement occurs) when taking your shots. Not only that you can also try out motion photography to instil the atmosphere of a bustling city in the picture.
2. Taking pictures indoors
Urban photography is not just limited to outside at the streets or buildings. You can also try taking pictures inside buildings too. You may never know what gem you find when you take pictures inside.
3. Work with the architectural style of the building
Every building has its own unique style. Use the architectural style of the building to your advantage when taking pictures.
4. Night city lights
One of the best things about urban photography is that you can take pictures into the night. Your pictures will give off a different feel when taking the picturesque landscape of the city at night – where different kind of lights would be lit up. Just remember to change your camera settings when taking pictures in the night.
5. Black and white pictures
Taking pictures in black and white gives off a different feel when taking in colour. Plus, it gives a dramatic feel to it and it feels like a story is being told when taken in black and white. Furthermore, it makes your audience focus more on the subject.
6.Using Photoshop/App to remove unwanted passerby or objects
Sometimes when want to take a picture but there are too many people in the picture or there’s unwanted object in the shot. Fret not!
