How to take beautiful portrait photos?

When I was a child, my family conditions were not good, and my parents rushed for life. My grandmother raised me. Now, my grandmother is eighty years old, and I have a camera. I began to feel that time passed quickly, and it seemed that I would lose a lot if I was a little careless, so I wanted to record my grandmother's appearance, kindness, cuteness, hard work, mediocrity and every unrepeatable moment in my life. Determined to take pictures of grandma. Grandma's kind and lovely appearance has been liked by many people and aroused many voices. Children want to raise but don't want to be with relatives. Many people have not had time to record their loved ones, which has aroused everyone's concern for the elderly. At the same time, it has also been welcomed by CCTV, and it is even more honored to be published in newspapers, television and major media magazines.

The first set of photos was taken at the end of March this year. The rape field in spring is yellow-green. A warm picture flashed through my mind, that is, grandma holding her son's hand, an old man and a young man, separated by generations of warm hearts, so I recorded this picture.

In spring, flowers are in full bloom, and I found wild roses in front of a factory. Grandma is so beautiful.

The humble daisies on the roadside are also dreamy when photographed.

Just like when I was a child, my grandmother took me everywhere, holding my son's hand, and I recorded this generation.

I like small animals. I took lovely photos of my grandmother and lamb.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, daily life is also worth recording. Washing clothes and making zongzi are ordinary and warm pictures.

Young people have birthday balloons, and my grandmother has to decorate them.

Recently, I made a moon myself and a "movie poster" for my grandmother.

In summer, I want to take photos of my grandma with flowers, muddy lotus flowers, bright and lovely sunflowers and rice fields full of fragrant rice.

From spring to autumn, under the golden ginkgo tree, the figure of an old man and a young man cured me again.

There are many cured photos, so I won't share them one by one.

Let me share my experience with you, hoping it will help.

1. About shooting equipment

This is the most frequently asked question.

Camera: Canon r6? Lens: rf50 1.8 and rf85? 2.0

50, close to the human eye, near attack and near retreat, commonly used indoors and outdoors.

85, the portrait is king, the blur effect is good, and it is very easy to shoot on location.

Don't buy a set of headphones. Matching lenses are generally not practical. )

Ps: Friends often ask me to recommend novice cameras and lenses. I choose them according to my needs and budget. If you want to be a photographer, I personally suggest a bigger budget. If I only record my life, I actually have enough mobile phones.

2. About retouching

Retouching software: computer versions of lightroom and photoshop

The network is convenient, and there are many tutorials and learning methods. I was really confused at first and wanted to know a lot. I suggest solving problems when encountering them and slowly accumulating knowledge points.

3. How to improve yourself

Take more pictures, practice more and think more. Before I had a camera, I used my mobile phone to shoot, sweep the street and shoot casually for so many years. Many feelings about beauty were also accumulated invisibly at that time. Don't let the so-called occupation stop you from recording beauty casually, practicing true knowledge, composing music, mastering light and shooting again and again in practice. Interest is the best motivation, and you are tireless when shooting. Don't let the equipment eat dust.

4. Constantly improve aesthetics

It's important to improve aesthetics instead of just focusing on technology. Look at excellent photographers and some film and television works, and carefully analyze why their works are intriguing from the aspects of service, composition and light.

Personally, I prefer to record the picture of love between reality and nature. Only true feelings can stand the test of time. Even if it is not perfect, life is not perfect.

5. Personal characteristics

On social platforms, many people upload beautiful photos, but not many record the elderly. In my opinion, the reason why "Grandma" series photos are liked by everyone is more because of "scarcity", and the most attractive photography works are always true and true feelings.

At first, the content I filmed had no direction, and everything followed the fate, until I released the grandmother series, which was unintentional, but the warm picture and kind grandmother suddenly got everyone's love, attracted everyone's attention to the elderly group and gave me great encouragement. Find your own characteristics, work hard in this direction, and bravely do what you like. Everyone has his own bright spot. Let's go
