Want to be a photo artist? Use it.
How do you become a photography artist? How can I turn my photos into art?
Here’s a photo technique that painters use all the time, but photographers avoid it! Give it a try, it's the easiest way for a photo-artist from a photo technologist!
Here's a photo tip you might never consider ... In fact, I'm not sure if it's even a photo strategy or technique or maybe a photo tutorial called whatever you choose to call, it's worth it! It will turn you into a photo artist faster than I know.
Copy!
For centuries - one of the main training techniques used by fine art painters has been to get down to the basics as well as the exercises created by the masters that they practice and take home.
They will try to imitate the scene, they will try to imitate every shade of color, they will try to imitate every brushstroke, and so on. In fact, it’s not just the birth of an art graduate, it’s also how art sculptors are made. He never tried to get off the stage of imitation.
However, the fastest way to jump from technician to artist is to copy. Thousands of artists in each field have proved this to be true.
You can do the same!
Go through your favorite photo books and magazines and choose a few photos you like - and try to duplicate them!
You need to get everything about precisely as could be expected. You want the finished image to be different from the original. (But remember, this is a learning exercise - never take it for granted!)
Be fair ... if you love the view of a beautiful tropical island with beautiful girls swaying in the empty trees, crashing surfs and bikinis ... Everest, it definitely won't work!
That said, choose a photo that you can duplicate and you're done! Same setting, same type, and color of clothing - the same type of illumination ... try to get everything!
It's a lot of effort but quite rewarding! BTW - I'll start with a kind of stable life, not just involving people. It is simple and expensive.
They say you can't understand a person well enough to walk a mile in his shoes ... well; Here’s your chance to really understand the photographer’s thought processes. Why
Did he choose this color (?), Why orange (?) Instead of apple, on the other hand, why this light pattern?
The more detail you put into your copy, the better - and you'll learn more. It will finally appear in your work!
Remember, the important photo steps for this project and becoming a photo artist is to first feel completely comfortable with the basics - then start copying.
