Portrait shooting needs some tips.
In fact, the so-called photogenic statement is sheer nonsense. As long as you pay attention to lighting, makeup and some small details, everyone will be photographed. Now, let's summarize the top ten disciplines of beauty portrait photography, and please keep them in mind for brothers who like beauty photography.
Preparation: Taking pictures is also psychology.
First, design the theme in advance, and the photos with distinct themes are far better than those without purpose? Portrait landscape? . This is easily recognized by girls. A complete set of photos can greatly satisfy the desire of girls, and such photos can also reflect the photographer's ideas. In fact, it is not difficult to design a theme. If you want to be sexy, you should read more men's clothes. If you want to film youth, just buy a copy of Girlfriend and study it carefully.
Second, don't be blindly unprepared and make an appointment to shoot. Communicate in advance, get to know your subjects, gain their trust, tell them the itinerary and theme of shooting, and provide suggestions for them to choose clothes and accessories, which can increase their confidence in you? Photographer? Confident. This can attract girls' attention and pay more attention to makeup and maintenance.
Third, shooting beautiful women is definitely a psychological problem, and shooting technology only accounts for a small part. I can often hear girls say: my left face looks better than my right face, my hair style is a little poor, and my arms are thick! ? At this time, even if you don't find this, you should be vigilant and remember what they particularly value. Sometimes you can distract them, tell them that those are not shortcomings and give them confidence.
Beauty is actually very simple
On the premise of ensuring the above three items, some equally important routine work needs to be done. The camera battery is fully charged, so you'd better take a spare one. The CCD and lens are very clean, which saves unnecessary trouble in the later stage. Flashlights, reflectors and props are carried out as planned. If it's not a shed shoot, it's best to put all the equipment and tools in one bag for easy carrying.
Shooting an article: The most important thing is to reflect the characteristics.
Fourth, try to find out what clothes they wear most beautifully. No matter what the model's figure is, try not to let the model wear tight clothes when shooting sitting posture, and choose some clothes that can cover the arm, so that the viewer can pay more attention to the model's face.
V-neck is better than round neck or its special-shaped neck, so the model's neck will look slender. A white shirt can reflect light on your face. Of course, if you don't want to reflect light, you can wear black. Roll up your sleeves so that your arms will look slender.
Sixth, pay attention to the details of some models' shooting postures. The shooting position is very important. Try to shoot from above. Only a few attractive models with good chins will consider shooting from above. If the models are fat and they are very annoying, don't shoot them all over. You can pat them on the head and shoulders. By changing the shooting angle and using the blur effect of the lens, the model's body can be hidden. Let the model stretch, bend forward and try to tighten her body, which is better.
Seven, with the passion of shooting fashion blockbusters, interpret a shooting with your own eyes. Read a book with more than 20 yuan, all coated paper, no actual content. The commercial blockbusters in it are very good and fun to imitate.
Leaning forward will give the model a sense of fashion.
Communicate with the model more during the shooting to keep the atmosphere relaxed. After all, posturing movements and expressions are not as comfortable as natural expressions. The simpler the composition of the clothing, the better, and the inner and outer layers will be very bloated. The color should be lighter. In terms of equipment, a fixed-focus portrait lens is naturally the first choice, but a wide-angle lens is also a good choice. Pay attention to avoid putting characters on the edge at the wide-angle end, which will cause deformation.
Later: the decoration should be moderate.
Eight, later cut off their heads. Such a compact composition has formed a very eye-catching effect. Note: although it is good to cut the top of the main body, or the edge of the arm, shoulders, hair, etc. You shouldn't cut your chin. In fact, everyone is used to seeing the top cut, which will look natural, but it will be very uncomfortable to see the picture of the chin cut. )
Nine, it is necessary to polish the skin of the portrait in the later stage, but the bottom line is not to lose the skin texture. White and smooth skin is beautiful, but it gives people an unreal feeling, and the texture of the skin should be preserved. Acne, scar, large pores and bags under the eyes can all be modified. Just follow the laws of nature.
10. Add some words and borders to the photos to make them more alive. Unique fonts and embellishments echo the theme of the photo and enrich the content to be conveyed in the photo. Note that the text modification should not be too complicated, otherwise there will be a feeling of usurping the role of the host.
Don't do too much post-processing.
I have always adhered to the principle that digital photos need post-processing, but the scale of post-processing must be controlled. Otherwise, the photos will be distorted. Although the beautiful women who are photographed say that the photos are good-looking, there is always a strange feeling. Then the chances of looking for you to shoot next time will be greatly reduced. The above ten suggestions are some experiences, which may not be professional, but they are absolutely practical. I hope you can experience it carefully.
