The series of videos taken from the interview with photographer Tyler Nardone continues with the aim of learning how to best take photographs and videos with your smartphone for use on corporate social media.
Discover in the video above what tricks and tips can be used to improve the quality of photos and videos taken with your smartphone.
The three fundamental pillars for quality shots
So how can you significantly improve the quality of your cell phone shots?
The three fundamental pillars to take into account are:
Light: using the best light characteristics to give the right value and communicative weight to the subject of the photo.
Framing: is the portion of physical space framed by the camera lens. The act of framing allows you to precisely delimit the space that will be captured and at the same time exclude everything else. Changing angles, turning around the subject and making it the protagonist of the shot are the keys to having a quality photo.
Composition: is the organization of the elements in a photo; the choice of the subject to represent and its relationship with the surrounding environment. Very often the composition does not enhance the subject, and this limits the power of the shot.
Find out how to mix the three key elements above by watching the video.
Technical note
In the video, we talk about Flare .: it is a phenomenon that does not occur in nature but occurs in particular conditions when photographing or filming.
It occurs when some light rays are reflected by internal lenses multiple times. This phenomenon is more likely when there are very strong light sources in the frame or the light enters from the side of the sensor.
The result is that the photo usually loses contrast and bright “spots” of different shapes or streaks are formed.
Video Transcript:
Smartphones often betray the business operator who takes photos or videos because he does not get the results he expects. Why? so I don't want to be mean, it's because the person who takes the photo or the person who takes the video doesn't understand much about it, so if they find themselves in conditions where the smartphone can't react well with the automatic functions, rightly they can't compensate for what happens, so bad lighting, I don't know, light conditions that enter the lens and therefore create annoying flares, so it's not so much the means as the use of the means, the smartphone has now reached such good levels that in any case you can do everything with such a small object, you take the shot, the video, you construct it and publish it in a very short time, so it's nice that the means are also important because obviously otherwise a professional would use a smartphone, in short, however, in my opinion with some tricks, so knowing how to use the means or knowing what all the defects are, we can still make a good video or a good photo that we can publish in good quality, in short, and so the next question, which is natural, comes by itself, what can be some tricks or tricks to improve the quality of photos and videos taken with smartphones? so the quality first of all comes from the light because rightly they are small sensors those of smartphones are not like those of a camera that has a much wider dynamic tonal range capacity to put it simply a reflex camera has a capacity to record much more data than a smartphone consequently a light that is less good the camera still manages to receive it the smartphone begins to grain to be annoying you can't see well in short so the fundamental thing is definitely the light so having good lighting so Tyler a key aspect is rightly the light and the relationship between the light and its object other key aspects to monitor? other key aspects that are perhaps slightly more technical but still intuitive so you can work on them without too much study are framing and composition yes obviously always in favor of the subject in the sense that I often see images made a little there and then here I took the photo of what I'm doing ok but why did you take it that way? so maybe the shot must make sense they must be the subject of my photo so maybe I walk around them a little bit I try to understand I waste a little bit of time here's ten minutes to understand how I can make a better image from the point of view of the shot and the composition while often I see people who make the image in three seconds and believe that it could be good here you simply have to work a little more also because in any case the aesthetic criteria more or less we all have through films through even simply a child with comics already develops an aesthetic criterion so for better or for worse it comes out if we take a little time we get the right composition obviously there is always some goat we don't doubt it however in any case with a little application a good photo can still be pleasant with a little even ten minutes simply of application take more shots rotate around the subject see if the shot from above or below or at the level of the subject can be better or worse for that thing because obviously then everyone has their own proportions everyone has their own dimensions and so you also have to play on this in short.
