Emotion in the picture: This is how great feelings can be captured for eternity

When people are recorded in a photography, there is always a special emotional component. A recording, regardless of whether it is a portrait or a spontaneous snapshot, always lives from the mood that the people they have received.

The illustration becomes particularly important when very personal and special moments are to be recorded for eternity, for example in wedding photography or other special occasion.

If people want to keep a unique moment in the picture, it is essential to make the special emotions tangible that have accompanied this moment.

In order to express feelings in a photography authentically and alive, in addition to the feeling for the right moment, a lot of empathy and feeling for moods are required.

Own snapshot or work from the specialist?

In the age of smartphones, photography has become an everyday companion. The modern devices not only have a high -quality camera, but also offer a whole range of image editing options. This creates many beautiful snapshots, so to speak, that can hold memories.

Your own recordings can be artistically staged as physical prints and hold a moment forever. Then the choice should fall on the right provider when it comes to ordering a photo print online .

The studio Rosemood in France has been devoting itself to the special moments of its customers since 2010 with great attention to detail. A separate graphic and creative team works in the studio.

There they specialize in capturing people's emotional journey through the adventure of life in the picture and optimizing every photo print in a loving manual work in order to get a emotional end result. While the visual language alone counts for photo prints, other photo products such as invitation and thanksgiving cards or photo books depend on a coherent overall picture that must include both the image selection as well as inserted texts and background details.

In order to get the best out of self -made recordings, contact with a professional provider is recommended that are familiar with emotional moments. The Atelier Rosemood has focused on the processing of personal and mood -intensive image recordings and converts individual photo projects with expertise and the necessary feeling for the special moment.

On special occasions such as a wedding, birth, baptism, an anniversary or other unique moments, the question often arises whether the task of capturing the precious memories in the picture should better be put into the hands of a professional photographer.

With all the love of photography, hobby photographers should always be aware that trained specialists are generally not only trained with regard to technical possibilities and prerequisites for photography, but also have a rich treasure of knowledge and experience in order to correctly capture the magic of the moment.

If a photo is to become a living memory that can take us on an emotional journey even after many years, a professional photographer is certainly a good choice.

From creating and transporting emotions

Images are a very subjective and individual thing. Each viewer reacts differently to a recording and the freedom of interpretation can be extremely widespread depending on the image. In order to be able to preserve emotions in a picture and let them get up again and again, it is important that a recording not only creates emotions, but can also transport them.

At first, the two terms may not be that far apart, but their distinction has a fundamental effect on the question of whether a picture can actually hold and express the desired emotion.

Recordings that hold personal memories in the picture have a great advantage in connection with viewers from their direct personal environment: there is an emotional connection to the object or the scenery that are shown. If we look at the photo of a situation in which we were involved, the emotions and background information usually appear automatically from the memory, which only make the photo into a lively scene.

This works particularly well with recordings that are not too far in the past. Over the years, the memory can fade and thus possibly also the emotional effect of the photo, but special moments usually generate a flashback and reminders after many years.

For viewers who have no personal emotional binding to a recording, another level must be added. Here emotions cannot simply be created by the memory, they have to be transported without a personal link at an emotional level.

How feelings are communicated

In order to be able to express certain feelings in the picture, it is important to know the model, the emotions of which are to be recorded in the picture. Above all, it is important to find out how a photographed person expresses emotions. The feeling level is characterized by subconscious actions and expressions.

Everyone communicates continuously through micro -expressions that they often cannot control and does not perceive themselves. However, since the same micro -expressions are anchored in every person, the emotion that communicates an expression is perceived by the viewer.

If certain emotions are to be recorded in the picture, it is therefore important for the photographer to first get to know his model on a personal level and to find out how feelings are expressed. If a relaxed atmosphere is to be captured, the emotion of the moment can be disturbed sensitively if the model is nervous, stressed or dissatisfied, because these feelings will always give an expression and influence the mood of the recording.

The communication of feelings can be very individual. In order to be able to capture emotions in and noticeably in the picture, it is therefore essential to know that a model expresses its feelings.

Natural emotion in pictures provided

A complex topic is the presentation of natural emotions in pictures. If a model is aware that it is photographed, it is hardly possible to capture a very natural and not artificially depicted emotion. Unlimited and at the same time more alive, recordings are usually made when they are taken out of the moment and without the knowledge of the model.

For a portrait set, it can be helpful to let the model arrive at the moment and give it the time to arrive in the situation and in his own feeling. The more relaxed the situation, the more real feeling can arise. Short meditation can be helpful, for example in the form of deep and conscious inhaling and exhaling.

It also helps many people to stand on the floor with both legs and feel that they are connected to the floor under their feet. This can earth and establish a stronger connection to the here and now.

Especially natural recordings usually work out of an experienced situation in which the model can react freely to its environment and express its emotions uncontrolled. Even narrative situations and relaxed conversations can get a person to arrive in a feeling and not only feel it, but also to be able to communicate it to the outside world. The story of a certain memory or the decoration of a desired idea, all of this can combine us more with our authentic emotions.

As a rule, emotional images do not arise when the model looks into the camera. Much more expressive recordings on which the view of the distance goes, looks at an object or looks at a loved one. Pictures can be particularly emotional in which two people look at each other with trust in the eyes or look together in the same direction.

The direct view of the camera can never transport such emotions.

Just as little helpful as the view of the camera are placed, which steer and restrict the model too much. They usually lead to a cramped attitude that blocks all naturalness. Emotional recordings arise from natural movements, spontaneous reactions and a relaxed basic attitude in which nothing is staged. In addition, it can be helpful to carry out a small warm-up in front of the camera and take a few casual recordings so that the model loses the shy in front of the camera and the situation.

In addition to the facial expression, touch and gestures include the strongest emotion carriers. The hands of a model should therefore remain in view of emotional recordings. Touching and gestures can express tenderness, determination, wishes and fears. Lovingly intertwined fingers, a gentle stroking, the playful or nervous game with hair or an accessory. With our hands we transport moods almost as expressively as with the face.
