Stage photography has long been familiar.
On the surface, the stage photography and other photography categories (e.g., portrait photography, landscape photography, etc.) compared to the basic shooting requirements and artistic approach seems to be no different, but carefully analysed together or not quite the same. The main difference is that shooting stage photos tend to rely on feelings and experiences in a very short period of time to complete the composition, and quickly press the shutter. This will require the photographer to have excellent shooting technique and artistic skills.Source: 21N website
However, stage photography creation is regularly to follow.
Especially in the technical aspects, some of the ways you can become the essentials to make the beginner detours. Taken together, there are four aspects.First, the location and angle of the shot selection
To the theatre or taking the stage according to the square, it is first necessary to select the right camera position and angle.
In General, to find bias point location shoot out effect is good, and does not interfere with the audience. Angle of view is also very important, too high, take out the characters will be distorted; the camera is low see figure feet (beat local or features other things), to be able to see the stage floor.Beginners tend to find the location in the Centre of the theatre to shooting, thinking that can get people's front and the complete stage spectacle.
As a result, shooting out of body styling stiff, light styling plain, effects will flow in General. This is because normally the layout stage lighting is more positive light, the positive light will weaken the character's sketch, the charactor of spatial sense and sense of depth to be diluted, light and shadow effects are dull. And select the bias point angle shooting, people have a positive light, side combination of optical and backlight, plus a variety of different color of the light source, picture of layered and light and shadow effects in nature are reflected, in particular the sense of the mobile space.Source: 21N website
Second, try to steady the camera to shoot good stage according to the stability of the camera is important.
Usually took the stage, and shutter speed are controlled at 1/60 second, this was done to make the operation of the move, the static of static, so shoot photographs both clear body image and the screen has a sense of movement. To achieve these objectives, l/60 sec and down (especially 1/60 s) shutter speed, the stability of the camera obviously cannot ignore. Another factor, because to achieve that picture with the effect of changing reality, often to the aperture to zoom in, doing so will result in depth shortens the camera slightly shaky, the clarity of the screen. Therefore, use a tripod or monopod to increase the stability of the camera is very critical.3. not to use Flash for exposure stage photography from past simple record-type progressive development to present herself, this change is the stage photography from the practical to the artistry of the process.
Use flash photography, just want to shoot the picture more clearly. And the consequences of doing so is that the flash light to dilute the stage-specific lighting and color effects, or even cause the stage effect completely lost. These effects is the essence of theatre photos. Therefore, strictly speaking, shooting stage photos should not use Flash. Of course, sometimes the light is too weak for the stage, or just to shoot stills to mark the occasion, you can also use Flash, but shoot photos certainly lose stage effect.
