First, the choice of the main color

Photography is subtraction. No matter the object, light and color contained in the photo, the simpler it is, the more it can highlight the main body and make people understand what the photographer wants to express. There are only three colors in this photo, yellow, green and brown. Choosing green as the main color is to reflect the fresh theme, and the simpler it is to choose a simple color for later color matching.

Second, use light to make photos layered.

Photos with light and shadow will make people feel layered, that is, the tone of the photos. The first is to get good light, and the second is to form contrast, so that the photos have a sense of hierarchy. When the sun shines directly on the window, the light ratio is strong, and some light can be blocked by gauze curtain to achieve soft light effect.

Third, the choice of equipment.

You don't need much equipment to shoot a small fresh still life. SLR, micro-camera and film machine can all be used for shooting, mainly using fixed-focus lens with large aperture. Shooting with a large aperture lens can create a good atmosphere and create a sense of hierarchy. My commonly used lenses are Minolta 58mm f/ 1.2 (manual lens) and Nikon 35mm f/ 1.4 G camera.

Fourth, let's talk about the later period.

A well-prepared photo in the early stage will definitely have less components in the later stage, and there is not much difference. This photo is mainly to present a fresh feeling, so the later adjustment should be carried out around this theme. There is a main color matching direction, which can make your color matching more organized and not blind. Let's take a look at the contrast before and after color matching.

(1) Adjust the color temperature and hue. If you want to make the picture fresh, you must not make it yellow or red. Therefore, adjust the color temperature according to your own needs, and adjust the color temperature and hue in the cold direction.

(2) Adjust the exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows according to the tone of the photo. The specific adjustment is judged according to your own photos, and there are no fixed parameters.

(3) Tone curve, especially if the highlights are adjusted greatly in the basic palette, then the highlights in RGB channels should be adjusted slightly or not. If both methods are used to darken the highlights, the picture will appear dim and gloomy.

(4) color adjustment, because the color of the picture is less, and the main color is green, so I only adjusted the green and light green in hue, or let the picture be fresher around a theme, make the green a little, reduce the yellow, and adjust the saturation and lightness mainly around green.

This is how to take fresh and cool photos in summer. I hope it helps you.
