There are so many aerial photography works? There are grand scenes and unique angles. How to win in aerial photography! Here are 7 tips! Each one is practical and simple!

01Symmetrical composition

Symmetry is perhaps the most favorite beauty of the Chinese. There is an old saying: "Beauty is when everything is balanced, inside and outside, big and small, near and far, and that is why it is called beauty." Beauty is when everything is balanced and appropriate inside and outside. Symmetry is this kind of beauty.

The most significant benefit of aerial photography is that you can find some beauty that is invisible to normal vision. Maybe the small park you pass by every day actually has a completely symmetrical mirror pattern? Believe me, this will be a little surprise that you want to take a picture of and share with more people.

02This is a dividing line

When we look at a photo, our eyes will naturally focus on some lines in the photo. How to arrange the lines in the picture can make your photo more beautiful, and it is also one of the differences between good and bad composition. Let a line lead the eyes to a more important subject, or let many lines spread out to enrich the visual sensory experience, which will make your photo interesting and never boring to look at.

Another way is to use them as dividers, which means using lines to clearly separate different areas to create an interesting look.

03Interesting Copy and Paste

When buildings or objects are arranged neatly, they will form some regular shapes; adding changes in color and a bird's eye view will produce unexpected effects.

Housing estates, street markets, open-air car parks, bus terminals… these ordinary places are perfect for capturing repetitive images.

04Dancing with the Shadow

The shadows that follow us silently every day finally have a day to be put to good use thanks to the advent of aerial photography! This time, let the shadows be the protagonists.

As sunset approaches, shadows will become particularly large, magnifying the character's every move several times. With exaggerated movements and dramatic poses, you can create an interesting story.

05 Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Purple

Bright color contrast will enhance the dramatic effect several times!

Many students don’t understand what “contrast” is. In fact, you can learn more about complementary colors and then incorporate them into the composition of the photo to increase the visual impact.

06Beautiful selfie

Don’t just think about taking photos of buildings and landscapes. If you have a drone, say goodbye to the selfie stick, bring your friends, and use your imagination to take a special selfie!

Free yourself in nature, in the sky, in the sea!

07Beyond the Bird’s-Eye View

Don't be so obsessed with the bird's-eye view that you miss out on a better perspective.

Photography is flexible! Think outside the box and create interesting works.
