Seven essential tips to photograph and color-grade your street photographs! With @ashrafularefin / “To start with, finding the ideal subject matter is crucial, although it can be challenging because not all subjects convey emotion and beauty: 1) So, I look for subjects with expressive faces and focus on people’s eyes, as they are often called the windows to the soul. 2) Both planned and unplanned photo walks can work. When I find an interesting subject without the proper emotion or lighting, I return later. On the other hand, if I see genuine emotions, I capture my subject by positioning my camera in line with their eyes without worrying about any other conditions. 3) Establishing a genuine emotional connection with my subject is essential for capturing emotion and beauty authentically. This step requires empathy, patience, and the ability to create a comfortable and trusting environment for my subjects as a photographer. In this sense, a telephoto lens comes in handy. 4) Furthermore, lighting and storytelling are essential for creating dreamy photographs. I aim to capture characters, scenes, or narratives that draw viewers into a magical world of mystery and enchantment. Thus, I typically shoot during early mornings or late afternoons when the light is softer. 5) I often use a narrow depth of field to achieve a soft, dreamy background. The combination of glowing light and a narrow depth of field works wonders. 6) Finally, I use post-processing techniques to enhance the dreamy atmosphere. I believe that light is the soul of a photo, and color is its heart. Color can evoke different emotions, so I use it purposefully. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows can make people feel energetic and passionate, while cool colors like blues and greens evoke calmness, peace, and sometimes sadness. 7) I choose colors and tones based on the mood and emotions I want to convey in my picture. In this series, you’ll find some of my basic adjustments, including color grading, curves, and removing distracting elements. I hope you can find these steps to be helpful!” You can read the full interview with @ashrafularefin by visiting the link in our bio!
