There are many ways to improve the photo yield, but the most direct and effective method is for the model to have a good shooting state. This state comes from both the model's experience accumulation and the photographer's guidance. Of course, there are also some general techniques. If you want to take good-looking photos, the following methods can not only increase the photo yield, but also make the photos beautiful and natural. Each one is more useful than the last.
1. Use the environment
A good-looking shooting environment, or a relatively simple and clean background is definitely a plus in portrait photography. In addition, photography is also an art of subtraction. In a beautiful environment, the simple poses of the model stand out.
For example, in the picture below, the model stands in a sea of rapeseed flowers, revealing only a mysterious back. The blue sky, beautiful scenery, and characters echo each other, and the filming rate is extremely high.
2, Capturing the moment
Capturing the moment tests the photographer's ability to capture. When you can't think of any posture to face the camera, you can freely express yourself and move to take pictures.
For example, when walking around the scene, the photographer calls 321 and then looks back at the camera. You can also look at the camera and smile slowly. This series of photos is spliced into an interesting long picture, which is a set of photos with a story and a sense of imagery.
3. Open environment
An open environment can give people a refreshing feeling of embracing nature. Appropriately reduce the proportion of characters, highlight the environment, and use the environment to contrast the characters.
Take the picture below as an example. The photographer’s framing angle can attract people under the tree and bring about the local shooting environment. The branches of the tree crown extend forward, giving the picture tension and impact. Whether it is framing, clothing or color matching, it is worth learning.
4. Relaxation
allows the body to stretch, which can have a visual slimming effect. Especially for girls who are slightly fat or have fat lower bodies, try not to squat or stand with your legs crossed. The overlap of the body can easily squeeze and deform the leg meat.
If you have to squat down to shoot, it is also not recommended to squat with both legs at the same height. You can put one leg forward and the other leg arched. The leg lines will look good and the posture will be graceful.
5. Make actions according to the environment.
Taking pictures according to the environment will not only avoid embarrassment, but also help the model to better integrate into the environment. Pay attention to keeping your eyes away from the camera as much as possible, and bring yourself into the environment, so that you can achieve the integration of people and scenery.
6, horizontal screen with white space
The minimalist composition with white space can enhance the artistic atmosphere of the picture. Using the horizontal screen to take half-length photos of people, combined with the use of white space, can create a romantic movie scene. Even if the characters make simple hand gestures, they can be artistic and beautiful.
7. Add layers to the foreground
Regardless of whether you are shooting the whole body or the half body, the addition of the foreground can not only better cover the shortcomings of the character's figure, but also enhance the layering and three-dimensionality of the photo. For example, when shooting portraits of flowers, rice fields, and wheat fields, add an appropriate amount of foreground, shoot slightly upward, and match the sky as the background, which will be fresh, beautiful, and atmospheric.
Summary: If you want to improve the photo yield, you can also take beautiful and natural photos. Each of these methods is more useful than the last. Even novice photographers can learn it, and it is not easy to make mistakes when taking pictures.
