Four essential strategies for interpreting and revealing nature beyond the surface! With @isabellandscapes / “Being a landscape photographer doesn’t mean only taking photos in front of a beautiful view with a tripod and a camera. It means capturing the essence, the identity of a natural place, representing the emotions that a landscape makes me feel. And I do this by looking for elements in the foreground that lead to the main subject, some symbolic elements that can explain what a place means to me. When I am outdoors, I pay attention to all the details. More than seeing the landscapes, I try to feel every emotion these scenes transmit as if they could tell me something. Furthermore, when I am under the sky, surrounded by trees, waterfalls, or peaks, I reflect on life in general. I like to think about what I see, and then, I think about myself. In other words, I take inspiration from the outside and then go deep into my conscious self to press the shutter. I believe that the four ingredients that make me convey deep feelings are: First, a strong color contrast: I like to accentuate the color contrast and the luminosity contrast, although I like to keep it natural. I do this by using luminosity masks and the TK panel. Overall, the TK panel allows me to edit and adjust every area according to its luminosity or colors. It can help create three-dimensionalities. I edit in RAW, and then I make more adjustments in Photoshop with luminosity masks. Secondly, I like to take photos on the floor, creating a unique composition with lines and geometries created by the elements of nature. With the wide-angle camera and shooting from the ground, elements that usually look tiny are accentuated. This technique makes these elements appear larger, and I always ensure the background supports a strong sense of depth. Then, an exquisite balance of lights and shadows, and lastly, an inspiring scenery. Above all, everything in the photograph has to be balanced elegantly!” You can read the original article with @isabellandscapes by visiting the link in our bio!
