Nowadays, photographing lotus has been called a major custom in photography circle.
In fact, the lotus itself is noble and elegant, and it is absolutely good.
But it is difficult to shoot well, and shooting well is the artistic conception.
How to shoot artistic conception?
1. Basic composition principle
The stems of lotus flowers are very high, so it is more reasonable to use vertical composition when shooting a single lotus flower.
And if the lotus monomer is carried out at the same time, the banner composition will be more suitable.
You can also choose a long composition similar to that in Chinese painting, which may be more charming! Through due diligence
Do not tilt the screen.
Photography is subtraction, and the lines of lotus itself are very simple, so when shooting, we should focus on simplicity according to its characteristics, and the better the picture effect will be.
Lotus is not only beautiful, but also leaves are quite aesthetic, so we should make full use of leaves to make a composition when shooting. Take the leaves as the leading role and arrange the flowers in the appropriate position for artistic creation.
2. Advanced writing skills-blank space
The aesthetics of Chinese painting pays special attention to blank space. Lotus is most afraid that the whole painting is lotus leaf, so the theme and aesthetic center of the picture are not prominent. So you can find a spacious lotus pond, which is easy to compose, especially helpful for blank space.

In addition, the lotus pond with water is the easiest to compose, and the beauty of reflection can be symmetrical, virtual or real, or rippling and sparkling. With water, there is spirituality.
3. The combination of reality and reality
Virtual large aperture/telephoto
If you really can't find a spacious lotus pond, you can also use the blurring of foreground and background to make the picture more concise. Generally, telephoto or large aperture is selected, which can blur the picture and highlight the theme.
Ambiguity can also create an atmosphere. In addition to a clear theme and dense composition, an intriguing photographic work is also crucial to creating an atmosphere. If there are water drops on the lotus leaf or lotus flower, shooting with telephoto lens and large aperture lens can create a good spot effect. A vague prospect can create a dreamy artistic conception.
