As a female photographer, I'll tell you how to take good private photos.

First of all, I am a female photographer.

Therefore, as a photographer, it is very important to pay more attention to the concept of artistic conception, the collocation of characters and environment, the unified treatment of colors and the performance of limbs, and what kind of ideas you want to express or convey to others.

What I mean by saying this is to distinguish it from male photographers who take private photos.

It must be said that the angle of male photographers will be completely different from that of female photographers, and it is difficult for them to leave the perspective of being a human being from the perspective of beauty that they are good at discovering.

It's not that male photographers are not good enough to shoot private houses. First of all, you should meet a really good photographer, not a literary hooligan with a camera.

I have seen a male colleague of mine take a private photo of a girl cheating naked with a steel pipe, and everyone racked their brains. I can't forget that photo.

Therefore, if a girl asks me to take a private house, I will tell them that if you want to take a enchanting and sexy photo, please refer to a Chinese actress for specific pictures. Sorry, I can't shoot it. I really can't shoot it.

So if what you want to do is to take such photos, then I don't think what I say next is suitable for you.

Okay, let's get down to business.

Today, I will briefly talk about three kinds from the perspective of light consumption for private photos, one is pure natural light, and the other is flash-assisted. One is an LED lamp without a flash.

Let's start with pure natural light. When someone mentions personal photos, they mean hotel rooms. But if every photographer leads the model to a similar hotel to check in, it must be the same. In fact, private photos are not necessarily limited to rooms with beds. Make full use of the surrounding environment and have ideas in your head instead of going out to find a specific environment.

This group of photos was taken in a room of about 6.7 square meters. Basically, if the model is sitting on the ground, I have to stand outside the door. There are only windows and the cheapest white curtains in the room, and there are worn-out floors.

There is not enough sunshine on the day of shooting, which makes it easier to create a soft lighting effect. Of course, the reflector is essential. Accurately speaking, every private photo I take will use a reflector, which is very important for softening the picture and filling the face.

I chose the most common white dress for the model. Private photos are not the display of underwear, nor the display of "murder weapons". Hairstyle and makeup are mainly natural and comfortable.

I use a color temperature of about 5000k, and the environment is different. Color temperature is for reference only.

But it is very important for a photographer to know what you want to shoot before shooting, and the style of this photo, including the overall tone, should be thought of in the post-processing, so that you can have a good idea when shooting.

Especially in post-processing, you took a bunch of photos blindly, but in the end you didn't know how to adjust the photos in front of the computer and try them one by one. It's not just a waste of time.

Let's talk about flash assist. Flash assist is generally in the absence of natural light, or the natural light is very weak. The instantaneous light of the flash is very strong, which is not in line with our interpretation of the soft light of private photos. So how to use it, where to use it, and the adjustment of the index are the places we should pay attention to.

This group of photos was taken in a room without windows. I want to achieve the effect of simulating the feeling of light entering the window, so I adjust the flash index to the minimum, and at the same time, the light is located on the side of the model, hitting the wall in the opposite direction, and achieving the effect of natural light through a layer of light-transmitting cloth between the light and the model. Then according to different environments, make full use of the reflector to supplement the lack of light on the model's face.

This is probably the warm texture in my mind before I took this group of photos, so I chose a color temperature of around 6500, which also depends on the specific situation.

But again, you should have ideas in your heart and understand your photos. Of course, if I shoot with a cold color temperature, I can adjust the warm color tone later, but the color processed in that way will definitely not reach the present effect.

The clothes in this group of photos are also simple lace pajamas. Another digression is that if the model has huge breasts, you should give up making her into a small work of art.

The use of background and environment is also very simple, because I know the color I want in advance, so I choose to hang a layer of orange cloth in front of the white wall, but although orange is warm, the color is too heavy and there is no hierarchy, so I found some lace to hang in front of the orange cloth. This not only avoids the heaviness of orange, but also jumps out of the monotony of white. Considering that the model has to lie on the ground, if it is only a white carpet, there is no hierarchy. I threw some white gauze on it at random. Achieve rich results.

As for the use of props, not jumping colors is the best collocation.

Finally, talk about the use of LED flashless. In fact, this is similar to the use of flash, but because there is no instantaneous strong light, as long as we avoid not hitting the model's face directly, we can achieve the desired effect by using the reflected light from the wall and the supplement of the reflector.

I chose LED for this group of photos because it can warm the light. Similarly, don't expect omnipotent ps, and don't put off the problems that can be solved in the early stage. Forcibly reversing the tone of a photo is not as easy and effective as it was some time ago.

The background of this group of photos is also a white wall, and in order to avoid the emptiness of the picture, I hung some white yarns to increase the level. Yes, it is the yarn under the model in the previous group of photos. At the same time, it also has a brief echo with the model's clothing.

The soul of a private photo should be the softness and blurring of the picture. Most people know that f4 aperture can never achieve this effect. But I used the normal 50mm 1.4, which is enough.

There are many ways to soften the picture. I use a veil in front of the camera. Once again, the problems that can be solved in the early stage should not be put off until the later stage.

In the first two photos, I was covered with a layer of white gauze, yes, it was cut from that layer of omnipotent white gauze. In the last group, I covered it with red gauze because I felt that the yellow light of that LED could not reach my ideal effect and was not warm enough. It should be noted that the yarn quality should not be too dense and sparse, otherwise you will not focus well. The density of this yarn can only be tested by you one by one.

For the last time, students, you must have an idea before shooting! Have an idea! Have an idea! No matter what you shoot, you will get twice the result with half the effort if you think about it. Remember, remember.
