4 mistakes not to make when taking portrait photos, have you made them? Photography self-study class teaches you how to change
In portrait photography, there are some mistakes that have certain commonalities. If you change these common mistakes, the photos will become better-looking. In this tutorial of photography self-study class, lists four. You can compare them. If you have made them yourself, the correction method has been given in the article.
Figure 1:
-. When taking portraits, don’t make this mistake with the background.
Figure 2:
When taking portrait photos, don’t make the same mistake as Figure 2 in the background. The flowers at the bottom of Figure 2 are very beautiful, but the black ground is not beautiful, the houses in the distance, and the sky without details . It is not beautiful either, so at this time the photographer should adjust the direction so that the flowers and plants cover the ground. At the same time, he should hold a stool, stand on the stool, and shoot from top to bottom without taking the distant sky. In this way, the background is all flowers , and there are no other cluttered scenes. The main character is more prominent, the picture is more simple, and it does not look so cluttered.

2. Don’t make this mistake when taking portraits and posing.
Figure 4:
When taking portrait photos, don’t make the same mistake as Figure 4. The mistake in Figure 4 is that the posture is not graceful. The on-site environment is not bad. Shoot forward along the railing, and you have a sense of depth. But the person being photographed is squatting there. The arm close to the camera looks very strong because of the bent angle, and there is no support for the hand . Putting it in the air will make people feel more awkward. You can guide the person being photographed to lean against the flower wall and gently lift up her skirt with both hands. With the movements and expressions in place, the photo will look much more natural. But don’t lower your head like in picture 5, and don’t put too many wrinkles on your neck.
Figure 5:
Let me introduce another technique. If you don’t want to make mistakes when posing, and don’t want to be embarrassed or unnatural, then let the person being photographed and the surrounding scenery, like Figure 6, touch the reed flower next to you, arrange your hands well, and the posture will not be stiff.

3. Bring the sky, don’t make this mistake.
Figure 7:
To achieve the effect like Figure 7, you need to stand very high. Sometimes , you need to use drone to shoot, but in the picture, if there are no other houses too close to cause trouble, can also be like Figure 8 and Figure 9, with the sky. When bringing the sky, be careful.
Figure 8:
It is best to have a lot of clouds in the sky, so that the details of the sky will be fuller and the picture will not look empty. You can ask the person being photographed to stand sideways and take a picture, as shown in Picture 8, or you can ask him to put on his hat and stretch out his arms to take a picture of his back, as shown in Picture 9.

4. When shooting indoors, don’t make this mistake.
There are two common mistakes when taking photos indoors. One of them is that the background is cluttered, and the other is that the person’s face is too dark, especially in photos like Figure 10. , the person’s back is to the window, and there is no light on the face. When shooting, you should hold the reflector as shown in Figure 10 to fill in the person's face. or hold a large white bath towel at home to turn the light onto the person's face. After taking the photo, the person's face will be as bright and soft as the same 10.
Figure 10:
The backgrounds of Figures 11 and 12 are not messy, which is worth learning. There are sofas, furniture, lamps, TVs, etc. in homes, but when you take pictures, you need to learn to choose the corners.
Figure 11:
to avoid these clutter and make your photos look streamlined. When avoiding clutter, don’t forget to put some flowers, grass, and bottles as embellishments like Figure 12 to increase the content of the photo and make the picture look simple but not simple but richer.
