Your girlfriend or wife may be the most beautiful woman in your opinion, but if the photos you take of her are the same, she may not have any idea. Here we recommend using 5 portrait photography techniques to better express your love.
1. She is the only one in your eyes
How to express it: background bokeh.
EOS 5D Mark III/ EF85mm f/1.2L USM/ Focal length: 85mm/ f/2.8/ 1/125 sec/ EV±0/ ISO 100/ White balance: Auto
In portrait photography, the background is as important as the subject. A cluttered background will attract the audience's attention. This is not a good thing for photography if you want all eyes to be on the subject, this can be solved by using a wide aperture to create a bokeh effect in the background, this will blur the background which can reduce distractions and make the subject you care about and love "stand out".
2. What you love is the look in her eyes
How to make the eyes of the person you like stand out: make her eyes sparkle!
The brilliance in the eyes can make the eyes look brighter and more energetic. Creating glow in the eyes is not difficult, you just need to find a bright object or light source in which direction the subject is looking.
3. You love her just the way she is
Reflect light : Use window backlighting to naturally illuminate your subject.
EOS 5D Mark III/ EF50mm f/1.8 STM/ Focal length: 50mm/ Manual exposure (f/2.8/ 1/80 sec)/ ISO 200/ White balance: Auto
Use natural light to photograph your loved ones in their most natural poses and get natural-looking photos...sounds perfect. If you know about portrait photography, the photo above was taken using only the backlight of a window and reflector.
4. Show what you think about her day and night
Preserve the moment: take beautiful portraits of her at night, without using a tripod or flash.
EOS 5D Mark II/ EF35mm f/2 IS USM/ Aperture priority AE (f/2.0, 1/30 sec, EV -0.7)/ ISO 400/ White Balance: Auto
We explain how to make the most of the light available at night and take photos with a different mood than during the day. All you need is a camera and lens, no tripod or flash.
NOTE: Look for the right place.
5. You want her to look her best
How to: Help her look her best with the following poses and lighting.
Both photos were taken with EOS 77D/ EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Focal length: 42mm (equivalent to 67mm)/Manual exposure (f/4.5, 1/320 sec)/ISO 400/ White balance: Auto
Focal length: 22mm (equivalent to 35mm)/Manual exposure (f/3.5, 1/160 sec)/ISO 400/ White Balance: Auto
A good, beautiful pose can make a world of difference in how someone looks! If your subject isn't a professional model, she may need your help posing well for the camera, and it would be great if you, as a photographer, could give her some advice. Finally, use lighting wisely to make her skin look flawless and beautiful.
