Hello everyone, my name is Lia, I am a photographer. In this channel we talk about photography. I would like to immediately underline one thing. I am a. commercial photographer. Photography is my only source of income and. everything I am talking about comes from my personal experience. So I haven't copied all this information from anywhere so you won't find it around I. just wanted to say this thing and now we can start today I'll tell you about my tricks that, help me make my photos more interesting I used and use all these tricks, again and today I would also like to show you my photos that help you better understand what I am talking about then I live and work in Milan now I am recording this video in, my studio where I also do my photo services but my greatest passion is Outdoor, so today I would like to talk about this and all my examples that you will see have all been, done ok I think now we can start I play with contrasts for me now it is a. classic thing contrast in the whole outfit the color the environment because you have to do Because it is not a usual thing that you can see every day so it can have the effect I'll explain better let's take an, example a beautiful girl with make-up with perfect hair dressed in an elegant dress with heels. obviously usually where where you can find these girls for example in a luxury restaurant ok. Or maybe in a very fashionable place having an aperitif with her friend or in the theatre or even in a disco if the dress is short enough it's fine. However this image that we have, described is exactly what you expect yes it can be very beautiful so I don't say, that these photos are to be avoided but here We are looking for how we can broaden, our imagination and make our images more interesting So this, girl we have certainly already seen in reality and so we think of something not. so mainstream And so what can we do perhaps ruin the makeup of the hair or, I'll choose a stranger outfit one of those When you see them on a person you turn around and think what the hell did they wear But why another thing to consider is leaving it all is perfect But putting it in an unusual environment is perhaps a very crude thing instead of choose a, luxury restaurant setting Maybe go to a kebab shop, why not? Or make her do something strange instead. of drinking prosecco with her friend, make her queue at the post office. It's actually a good idea to, consider, I have to do something like that. Ok, ok, let's see what I mean, now I'll show you. some examples for example here then we have a beautiful girl just beautiful make-up a nice dress heels but we find her in a not so nice environment, No actually that day with this girl and with four other models we took photos for, a magazine here in this studio and then after finishing while the make up artist was. preparing another model we didn't go out to take a couple of shots outside for 10 minutes like this in the open air. to do something to do something different and we went out we went right to the bar here side by side and we took this photo that honestly probably these photos these photos outside I. like more than the very glamorous ones that we took in Here in the studio just before.
ok And so what do we see with this girl okay she is beautiful obviously but since she is like. that she's beautiful, well dressed. Obviously then I don't take her to a flower park but I prefer a Chinese bar and then obviously I don't take photos where she's all cute posing, but in my opinion it's much more fun if I put her in a much more natural pose. In fact,. as well as natural, it's also a a little ugly with that back curved like that and a little tired too which also gives the idea that at that moment she wasn't seeing anyone or rather she. just didn't care she's a Queen so I don't care Ok Here we always have her and don't tell me anything. about Crooked horizon because it doesn't straighten it I really like it like this ok the girl is always beautiful, in a very very ugly environment Ok let's see in the next photo and here instead we played, on the contrasts in the outfit we have this top with glitter transparent trousers with, glitter heel Ok make up these very important earrings and so to play down, all this Glamour we add a sporty bomber jacket Then there was another cool thing about this girl that she had braces I really love this thing then okay the other mistake that, you can make is in the pose for example here everything is fine the environment the outfit she so to, eliminate the sugar and I asked her to pretend to fall and in my opinion she did very well in this photo here too as you can see all beautiful but the pose is not exactly the one I teach you at school OK these two photos instead are a little bit prettier because sometimes when. you really ask me sometimes I also take photos A little prettier but I always try to do something special anyway Ok next thing is to interact with the environment. So you can use the environment as part of your photos yes now Can you tell me if the girl is in the environment and if my decision the photo you are already using but that's not really what I. mean ask the model to do something so not just pose but pose using the object she finds around but for now I said tell the model to do something like this, reality is not good you have to say What she has to do because it's beautiful when your model. has some ideas but anyway you always have to be ready to lead the whole situation ok And now let's see our examples Ok And here is our first photo as you can see here the girl is not. only standing near the film but she has taken a newspaper in her hand and so it's in contact with what's, around it ok this photo the model is hanging from this structure and here we always have those slightly strange poses that we've already talked about before the other interaction of the model and, the road sign here the girl simply you are looking at the mirror and here sitting on the floor leaning on the lamp and as you can see it is a very simple trick that in reality helps you to be a little different from the others Ok let's see the next trick The provocation So here before I am misunderstood I have to say I'm not just talking about sexual things, obviously. this too, but not only that. Provocation must give rise to some emotion, and not always a positive one. It, can also be good to hear what the hell are you doing, what kind of photos are these, sorry. However, everything is good. except the indifference and then let's see what I mean So these two photos besides provoking we also played with contrast beautiful girl bad environment actually I hope that for these
photos the model was able to forgive me in the end because in reality I don't think she was having much fun doing all these things A bit strange ok this is always obviously a provocation and also. this A little porn without porn Ok I think that with this point Everything is clear then if you want to see, more photos you can find them on my Instagram that I leave here somewhere so if you want If, you want go there and see and you can see many more photos and instead we move on Ok. the next trick is to occupy the foreground to give more depth and let's see what I mean for example this photo as you see So here obviously I took the photo of the girl but the. foreground is occupied from this telephone booth and now we who look at this photo have. those ideas of being there present in that moment and looking at this girl with our eyes the other example here I even left the model very little space in the photograph all the rest instead occupied by this wheel from the bike that we found it on the. street but even here these ideas make the photo more interesting in my opinion even here Something very. similar to that example we just saw so the figures the general ones smaller here. the girl with flowers here we always see the model from somewhere else part and we also see. other people that we are not interested in that I also closed the main scene here another, example I even closed the girl's face with the object that I had that I had, closest to me then I would also like to stop for a second more on this photograph because, I am really 99% sure that most photographers would not have used this, strip to close the model's eyes. However, in my opinion, it turned out to be a very nice photograph,. very different from all the others, the one that is really really when the see Do you remember it Ok let's see our next point less perfection in the environment Probably. this point Now it has become for me Not only the point or the make-up but the personal style chaos there is around more I'm happy because for me when it comes to a street My goal is not only to. demonstrate to the model but also to show the mess of the city so the vehicles that are, everywhere the people who are running I'm not afraid Not even of the dirt that is around and so. let's see other things that I see most photographers avoid doing here For example this photo of the girl and many here they can tell me why he left this sales point, a bit ugly or this tag or this motorbike that has nothing to do with it and then Oh God this stuff that comes out of the head and the model and obviously I help with the people he answers I. can't for please do everything I like because I like these defects of the photo.. In my opinion what makes the photo more alive and more reliable also we see other always with the imperfections of the city, or this which is these people this this you could not remove no here we, took a photo of the girl or this guy always her with two handsome men behind well knowing the rules but to create something new every now and then you have to go against ok as always I hope you liked this video remember to like me Follow the channel because here I'm preparing many good things see you next time Bye bye,
