That can convey a feeling of melancholy, a more subdued image, maybe even a sense of mystery. That goes along with a low key image, with darker tones. On the opposite side, I could say I was feeling dark and gloomy. I might use words like "She was bright and cheerful, " or "I was feeling light-hearted." "Light" and "bright." In the same way, a high key image with light tones can convey happiness, an uplifting feeling, cheerful.
We do this all the time in our spoken language. Watch below to find out more!Īre you looking for a way to convey mood and emotion with your images? I have an idea for you! Hi, I’m Julie from Ultimate Photo Tips, and for today’s Two Minute Photo Tip, I want to talk about using tone - how light or dark your image is - to convey mood and emotion. Choose tones that are consistent with your message to tell a strong story. If you’re inspired to show a certain mood, think about what mood you want to convey (joy, happiness, uplifting feelings, sadness, solitude, nostalgia, or despair).You can use tones in your photographs to convey emotion and mood. The less you use your brain, the more you can use your emotions and soul to put together a body of work which reflects your inner-mood. I don’t like to use my brain too much when putting together a photo series. In photography, we are too obsessed about composition, form, shapes, and putting together some ‘coherent’ narrative.įor me, I like to harness spontaneity. Think about how your photos make you feel - rather than how your photos look. The last tip about creating a certain mood in your photography project is to not think too much. Then put together images that fit that soundtrack. So if you want to better convey a certain mood in your photography, listen to a certain playlist, soundtrack, or album that you feel inspiration from. I know some photographers who like to put together images, based on a certain soundtrack. I know some photographers who like to listen to music while they edit and post-process their photos. I know some photographers like to listen to music while they shoot. I got inspired to put together a mix of my favorite hip hop songs, and tried to put together images that paired how I felt. I am currently addicted to listening to hip hop instrumentals. Try to put together an edit of images that conveys how you feel. I only selected minimalist photos, which conveyed a sense of space, of emptiness, yet had a sense of longing and soul. So in this series, I only included monochrome images, all from my entire history of photography (2009-2017). But as of 2016-2017, I feel more reflective, and moody. In 2015-2016, I was shooting more color - because life felt more vivid, more exciting, and more upbeat. The cliche is that nostalgic photos are black and white. You want to have a consistency of images. You want to only show photos that has a certain mood or emotion. I am embracing minimalism as much as I can, while listening to hip hop instrumentals.Ī lot of conveying a certain mood in your photography is through how you put your photos together. I am feeling peaceful, calm, and tranquil. How do you feel? Tokyo, 2016įirst of all, think of the mood you want to convey.Īt the moment, I am currently feeling a bit nostalgic about the past. You can see, use, download, remix, and view all the photos on Google Drive.
