Photographs from "Conceptually" are often made in order to transmit a clear message, message has to be shaped by all the elements present in the composition. Thus, composition plays most important role, along with other technical elements such as light exposure and other tricks that will improve outcome. Below, I present the main topics of discussion when it comes to taking a picture conceptual, following almost the smallest details of the photos.

• The message, as I care to be one clear?
• How do I arrange materials to get a clear perspective on the idea?
• Technical elements, as it combines (Exposure, aperture, compensation, etc..)
• Post-processing of images, what should I look?
• Where to take the picture? (Photo box, photo tent, specific camera)

The message is most important in a picture conceptual and must be clearer. To achieve this basic idea should be shaped so that the first view of the photo to clearly understand the subject and message. This message clearly is shaped by the use of objects / appropriate models and technical compliance and combining them to get a result as good as the original.

Another important role of light representing the message is the idea of ​​perception, the feeling passed. A low light, focusing only on the subject shows focus on a photograph something, an idea that one is based on the entire picture. A dim light, dim light, fresh perspectives on elements of the viewer, restore it to freedom to choose the main message and focus on other ideas and present.

The title is also very important in the message, a well chosen title will cause the viewer from the first moments in the state that sent the photo, so the result will certainly be a lot better.

"Absurd" ("You were not good")

The message: sadness caused by discipline a child by parents

Realization: photo box with four candles to create a warm, pleasant to induce the idea of "family" with the diffusion sheet 4. Closed to f/11 aperture to create an area of greater focus and to implement all the characters in action, focusing mainly on the stage of "family".

It is important to focus on the arrangement, he can change to be seen how the scene is happening in the picture. To highlight the best action in the photo should be spent using objects / models so as to express the idea without too much "makeup" (editing, etc..). Once obtained capturing materials must take into account the importance of each so that the focus (not Photos!) To be the most expressive object / model. Arrange them according to their expression very helpful in getting the message and achieve a clear perspective.

The technical part of photography can totally change the way it is viewed. For conceptual photos you use objects / models is important to take care of all the settings that you can do to get a better result. We start with how the exhibit because the slightest error change the overall result. To send a message to subexpuneţi sad picture, but not too much because it is very important to distinguish some details. To send a state of happiness, joy, overexposure (not exaggerated) can induce easily, increasing the dynamic range photography.

A second important setting is the diaphragm, creating the area of ​​focus that need to be large to capture all the characters present. It's often recommended that it be as dark, broadening the focus considerably. There are however cases in which the diaphragm is better to be as open eyes to focus on one point.

Light, with white balance (white balance) plays most important role. Light can create or delete shadows, can focus on the central character and action can change the whole atmosphere in which everything happens either in a cold or one hot. It is better to add a means of diffusion in the light to create an enjoyable and to remove strong shadows in the frame.

ISO requires a lot of attention because the noise created can be a technical detail that you can picture as being a weak class. Thus, most times it is good to use as low ISO (100-200) if you have a tripod because the shutter will be longer and will be very low noise. (Diagram below Lights "You was good ")

Once done photography, to restore smoothness necessary post-processing is necessary. Whether infiltrating specks of dust or that there are some undesirable elements however can remove the post-processing. This step is important to take care of small details of the objects as a closer look can stand out imperfections. You should therefore carefully removed using the tools you edited programs.

Once finished the aesthetic imperfections related to increased message and all ideas can be arranged color levels (Levels) and contrast (Curves / contrast) so that the center of interest is the one you want, and not the whole picture. Levels of color can transform the way the perception of photography, its atmosphere turning it into a cold / hot, totally changing views and message.

If you are shooting objects most recommended is a photo tent or even a box you created (see box DIY photo ), so umbrellas made ​​of light sources will be very weak and the result will improve significantly. If you take pictures in this way, you must be very careful in positioning lights and obectelor To find the arrangement and combination as pleasant as their success.

If you want to shoot models, or objects on a larger scale is better to use open spaces to take place to unwind and how best to get a satisfactory result from the very beginning. If the shot in spaces lights play the most important role and should be used carefully. Even I do not really special, and now it's just a flash, diffusion and orientation must be made carefully.
