Here are some ultimate ideas for photographing at home . All you need is a little creativity and a strong desire to experiment!
Ultimate ideas you should try
Bokeh
Bokeh is a term that comes from the Japanese and although it refers to background blur in general , is more associated with the blurring of lights from the back of the scene which produces a nice composition of circles in color.
Bokeh photos induce a feeling of tenderness and magic and if the lights are warm, you have a guaranteed “home” touch. Do you want to take a step forward on your bokeh? Try out different shapes: hearts, stars, butterflies… The possibilities are endless!
Use zooming to photograph at home
Another surprising effect which does not require a lot of resources is the zooming or zooming effect. By using the zoom, you will be able to create a feeling of movement , whether it is moving closer to or away from the subject being photographed.
The converging lines around the subject direct the gaze towards the center of the photo and give that impression of dynamism even dizziness. You can apply this effect with a relative or a friend but also with an object of the house.
Macrophotographie
Normally, when you think of macro photography, the first thing that comes to mind are flowers and insects. But the macro is about much more than that and in your home you will be able to pull off some truly surprising photos if you take a moment to look around you. Your home is full of objects and details that you usually don’t pay attention to but who says they aren’t worthy of your lens’ immortalization? Now is a good time to put on your photographer’s glasses and look around, from a different perspective.
On the other hand, today, in order to do macro photography, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money. You can find some really inexpensive options to get good results. Conversion lenses are the best choice for getting started: they screw onto your camera lens to turn it into a macro lens. Check more on dzoptics.com.
