How to Enhance the Three-Dimensionality of Photos Tips and Techniques

A two-dimensional photo, if it wants to have a stronger sense of reality and immersion, three-dimensionality is very important.

In daily shooting, we can pay more attention to these aspects to make the photo more three-dimensional:

1.  Aperture

The advantage of a large aperture is that it can shape the three-dimensionality to a certain extent.

A larger aperture can bring a shallower depth of field, making the picture have a stronger contrast between virtual and real, and thus making the photo have a more sense of space and three-dimensionality.

The aperture value of the human eye is roughly between F2.1-F8.3 and adjusts with the change of the ambient light and darkness. So when we observe the surrounding environment with the naked eye, it is not completely clear either; while the aperture value of the lens has a larger adjustment range, and we can also adjust flexibly according to the environment to make the picture more realistic.

Of course, this does not mean that we must use a large aperture or adjust it according to the range of the naked eye when shooting. In a narrow or dim environment, if we want to show the three-dimensionality, we can try a large aperture.

2.  Light

Light also has a great influence on shaping the three-dimensionality of the picture.

From the direction of the light, side light can undoubtedly better show the three-dimensionality, because the side light can form a good contrast between light and dark and can also highlight the texture and texture of the object.

In the case of portrait photography, the classic Rembrandt light is a kind of side light, and this kind of light can make the face of the character more three-dimensional.

From the intensity of the light, the straighter and brighter the light is generally easier to shape the three-dimensionality, but it is not necessarily suitable for showing details, so the light with moderate intensity is sometimes a better choice.

In terms of natural light, the sunlight angle is relatively low and the intensity is moderate about two hours before the golden hour (two hours after sunrise and two hours befor e sunset), which is very suitable for showing the three-dimensionality.

3.  Composition

Composition can also have an impact on the three-dimensionality of the picture.

If the leading line composition and the frame composition that we often use appear in the picture in the form of foreground, then it can also enhance the three-dimensionality of the picture.

When we shoot, we can choose the appropriate foreground and connect it with the composition of the picture to enhance the three-dimensionality through the perspective and the contrast between virtual and real of the foreground and the main body.

4.  Texture

A picture with texture, texture and details usually also has a strong three-dimensionality, which is also related to the light, because the desire to show texture details often cannot be separated from the contrast between light and dark.

If we want to highlight the three-dimensionality in small scenes such as still life and portrait, we can try to pay more attention to the luster, surface roughness and particle texture of the main body, and with the appropriate light, there will be a good three-dimensionality.
