Figure 1:
. What should I do if the on-site environment is transferred?
If you are shooting in the environment like Figure 2, it is more messy, and the color of the scene is more . If you use your mobile phone to shoot, you need to adjust to portrait mode, because portrait mode can make people clearer. makes the background more blurred, and the blurred background will not look so messy.
Figure 2:
If you shoot with a camera, you need to use a lens with a larger aperture and turn the aperture a little larger. The most important point is.
needs to narrow the view range. If the range is smaller, the content of being included in the photo will be less, and there will be fewer elements that look messy, and the picture will be much better.
2. Methods for unnatural expressions of characters, guiding postures.
Figure 3: If the person being photographed has an unnatural expression, it is probably because is more embarrassed when facing the camera. At this time, the photographer should guide the person being photographed to pose some appropriate postures. so that when he poses, his attention will be distracted and he will not think about embarrassment, but will think more about how to pose, and his expression will be more natural. He can guide the person being photographed, like Figure 3 and Figure 4, extend his hand above. The shooting posture like can make people look taller and slimmer.
But the background of Figure 3 is some too bright , and the picture looks a bit dazzling. When we take photos outdoors, we should avoid the time period of strong light.
Figure 4:
. What else can you do if the character’s expression is unnatural?
Figure 5:
capture is very important. The parameters need to be adjusted here, and also requires photography skills. If you are shooting with your mobile phone, you should interact more with the person being photographed, then press and hold the shutter key, and will not let go, so that you can achieve continuous shooting. After shooting, you can find a photo from the many photos with a more natural expression and a very beautiful pose of , like in Figure 5. But there are some mottled shadows on the faces of the characters in the picture 5, which don’t look very beautiful. When taking pictures, we should pay attention to rolling the brim of the hat upwards, so that people’s faces will be shining, and there are no so many messy shadows, which will look good.
Figure 6:
If you use the camera to shoot, before shooting, you should set the shooting mode to continuous shooting and adjust the shutter speed at the same time, so that after the character poses, there will be no dragging shadows, and will be just right. If the scene is more messy, you can narrow the scope of the scene and let the characters occupy the entire picture. like in Figure 6. At the same time, let him hold the prop camera in his hand and reach the front of the lens to form some obstructions. The hands and props close to the lens can be more imaginative. Focus on the eyes of the person and take a clear shot of the person's face. After using a large aperture lens, you can also take a comparison of the virtual reality in a narrow space.
. What other good-looking poses can the characters be guided to pose?
Figure 7:
can combine expressions with postures. Like Figure 7, makes some horrifying expressions and covers his mouth with his hands. The posture and expressions are not contrary to each other. If the coordination is just right, the photos will look natural and beautiful. Figure 8 is the same.
Figure 8:
. Take advantage of the on-site environment when taking portrait photos.
, like the two photos of Figure 9 and Figure 10, there are many large trees on the scene. First of all, you can let the person being photographed snuggle up on the big tree like Figure 9. In this way, the big tree that was originally messed up also plays a certain role in the picture, and the photos will look better.
Figure 9:
In addition, you can also find some big trees that can be far away from the photographer like Figure 10. As the background, after using a large aperture, you can take the trees and leaves in the distance more blurred, and the layering of the photos is more obvious.
Figure 10:
Leave a discussion topic, Figure 11, some friends think this photo is good, is very natural, and some friends think that the background of this photo is wired and passing through the human body is a taboo in portrait photography. Which view do you agree with? Welcome to discuss in the comment section.
Figure 11:
. What should you pay attention to when shooting indoors?
Figure 12:
Whether it is indoor or outdoor shooting, must make the person being photographed have a comfortable posture so that the photos will look more beautiful. In Figure 12, a person is more twisted when lying there, and himself feels uncomfortable when lying. This uncomfortable feeling will also be conveyed to the person who is watching the photos. Like Figure 13, sitting there will be better.
