Why are the portrait photos in photography magazines always so eye-catching and with the right shades, but my own works are ordinary and unremarkable? There is a simple method called "vignetting", which can be used to modify ordinary photos. It's full of flavor and full of "fashion blockbuster" atmosphere.
When taking photos, due to the limitations of the environment, you cannot guarantee that every element that enters the lens is what you want, such as an unexpected trash can, a passerby accidentally caught in the shot, or a messy background. If you take a photo If the resulting picture has too much content, it will not be able to express the theme well. Therefore, the essence of "vignetting" is that it can lead people's vision to the bright place, highlighting the subject or the center of interest, especially when modifying portrait works. "Vignetting" can also create the light and shadow atmosphere of a fashion blockbuster!
