The background is important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In all photography textbooks you read: The background is just as important as the subject, or the foreground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This applies to all images. It is especially true for images with a message, since the subject conveys only 50% of that message and the background conveys the remaining half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this example, the motif\u2014the dead, withered, lifeless branches\u2014rather expresses decline, dying, death, etc. This is in extreme contrast to the background: cheerful weather, blue sky, summer, sun, warmth, joy, optimism, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These contradictory statements between subject and background confuse the viewer. It does not convey the intended image message as clearly as a photo with a gray sky or fog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The better version<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you get lucky, too. Between these two pictures, there is only a single day. Yesterday blue sky and today gray, cloudy sky. If you want to express decline, death, the dying off, you better take this second picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, I think it's perfectly legitimate to edit all my photos on my home computer so that they convey exactly what I want to express. If I were out on location, it would take years before the lighting was finally just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Der Hintergrund ist wichtig In allen Foto-Lehrb\u00fcchern lesen Sie: Der Hintergrund ist genauso wichtig wie das Motiv, bzw. der Vordergrund. Das ist bei allen Bildern zu beachten. Bei Bildern mit Bild-Aussage umso mehr, da das Motiv nur 50% der Aussage transportiert und der Hintergrund die restliche H\u00e4lfte.
