In the background message of the photography self-study class, I received a lot of inquiries from middle-aged and elderly friends. Today, I specially arranged for middle-aged and elderly friends. How to place your hands when taking photos of middle-aged and elderly aunts.
1. When taking pictures of your aunt among the flowers, where should you put your hands?
In the flowers, I took pictures of the middle-aged and elderly aunts. At the beginning of the shooting, in order to avoid the stiff posture of the aunt being photographed, you can first look like the picture below.
Let the aunt put her hand in front of her belly, but if there is no suitable gesture, can find some flowers and plants as a cover, so that the posture of the person being photographed will be much more natural, and there is no need to worry about the unbeautiful posture of the hands. . If you want to show your hands, you can find a fence among the flowers, , and put your hands on the fence, which will make it more natural and elegant. Set up on a fence, this technique can be used in most fenced environments.
2. Universal hand posing skills.
Regarding hand placement, is there any universal technique that can be applied to various scenarios? It is a must.
You can prepare props in advance. As long as you have the props in your hands, holds the props in your hands and interacts with the props, or lets the props interact with the scene, your hands will have a place to rest, and your posture will be coordinated and natural. But please note that when using props, the props you take must be related to the scene you are in. For example, in the picture above, in the green forest, you can hold a net to catch dragonflies. In the picture below, under the flower tree, can hold a straw hat in his hand. If the props do not match the scene and are not related, the photos taken will look very out of place and not look good.
3. Where should I place my hands when the foreground is blocked?
In order to make the photos look layered and have a sense of depth, when we take photos, often use some scenery to block the lens, forming a blurred foreground. So where should you place your hands when there is a prospect? Here is a detailed introduction.
The hand can be hidden behind the blurred shadow, will not be displayed, as has been introduced before. If the blur is not large, you can also look at the picture above, with the two hands hooked together and appearing faintly behind the blur. This kind of gesture makes you look more youthful and cute. When standing sideways, you can tilt your head to look at the camera like the picture above, or you can also look elsewhere. The hands can also be fully displayed as shown in the picture below, making the action of rubbing hands and tilting the head to look at the camera. The important point that needs to be emphasized here is that once the hands are arranged, must not ignore the head. Be sure not to face the camera stiffly if you are making trouble.
4. When taking pictures in an open environment, where should you place your hands?
The above cases are all cases where the lens is relatively close to the person or the focal length is relatively long. If you use a wide-angle shot, or the lens is far away from the person, how should you place the hands of the middle-aged and elderly aunts to look better?
Remember here that when you are far away from the camera, your hands need to interact with the camera. Like the picture above, waving towards the camera from a distance can not only reflect the cheerfulness and liveliness of the character, but also make the hand posture generous and appropriate. Or like the picture below, take a natural look back, holding a box, small bag, or hat in your hand. The technique of using props in the above picture is also applicable when shooting large scenes.
5. When taking pictures sideways, where should you put your hands?
In portrait photography, most of the time, sideways photos look better than facing the camera. So where should you place your hands when you are sideways?
can be like the picture above, holding the hat with one hand, hanging down naturally, and putting the other hand behind the head, looking towards the camera. Or you can look like the picture below, hold a magazine in one hand, tilt it up appropriately, put the other hand a little above your forehead, and look up without looking at the camera.
6. If you don’t have anything in your hand, how can you place it?
So there is nothing to hold in your hand, and there is nothing to block it around you. Where should you place your hand?
can be like the picture above, with one hand on the waist and one hand touching the ear. Or like the picture below, one hand hangs down naturally, the other hand holds the flowers on the tree, and looks towards the camera.
