Adding a simple object to your toolkit, such as a prism, can keep your creative process fun and fresh. There are many types of prisms to choose from—glass or plastic, triangular or round, large or small. To get started, we suggest a six-inch-long glass triangular prism, but feel free to experiment with a variety of types.

Remember that when held at different angles, a single prism can produce multiple effects. Try shooting with a prism in the following three ways:

在你的工具包中添加一个简单的物体,比如棱镜,就可以让你的拍摄过程充满乐趣和新鲜感。有许多类型的棱镜可供选择——玻璃或塑料的,三角形或圆形的,大型或小个的。在一开始,我们建议使用一个 6 英寸长的玻璃三角形棱镜,但你也可以自由尝试各种不同的类型。

请记住,当在不同的角度举行,一个单一的棱镜可以产生多种效果。试着用以下三种方法用棱镜拍摄:

Create repetition / 创造重复感

The more sides or ‘faces’ a prism has, the more repetition you can create in your photo. Draw attention to your favorite portion of a scene by using the prism to multiply the number of times it appears in the photo.


棱镜的面越多,你在照片中就越能创造出“重复感”。通过使用棱镜来增加它在照片中出现的次数,来吸引人们对场景中你最喜欢的部分的注意。

Incorporate reflections / 结合反射

Use a prism to layer a reflection from outside of the frame onto your image, such as the sky overhead. This effect often feels similar to a double exposure and can be used to give additional insight into your surroundings.


使用棱镜,给你取景框之外的景象层层反射进来,就如头顶的天空。这种效果通常感觉像双重曝光,可以用来给你的周围环境增加额外的洞察。

Generate partial effects / 产生部分效果

Instead of covering your entire lens with the prism, try a more subtle approach. Hold the prism so that only a corner or portion of the frame becomes distorted. This method works especially well when shooting portraits, because it maintains the person’s natural appearance, while still adding a dreamy effect.


与其用棱镜复盖你的整个镜头,不如尝试一个更微妙的方法。保持棱镜只有一个角落或部分在取景框之内,它会使相片一角变得扭曲。这种拍摄方法在拍摄人像的时候效果特别好,因为它保持了人的自然外貌,同时还增加了梦幻般的效果。
