Compared with the conventional full-automatic mode, camera settings in portrait mode, One feature is to blur the background by using the aperture effect. The aperture of portrait mode is automatically set to be close to the maximum aperture of the lens used (the aperture blade is completely open and the most light passes through). Through the aperture effect, the degree of background blur is improved to highlight the characters and make them more eye-catching. Another feature is to use the photo style to adjust the tone of the photo to make the skin texture softer. In addition, the exposure is relatively bright, making the skin appear whiter.

Tip

Use bold composition

When making composition for portrait photography, the most important thing is to arrange the characters in which position in the picture. In addition, how to intercept characters is also a headache. If you use ordinary shooting methods, it is easy to fall into a rigid mode similar to ID photos. Therefore, we should boldly cut, or carefully find the right shooting angle, and try to shoot people with artistic style.

When shooting close-ups, the top of the head can be cut off

When shooting close-ups, if the upper part of the head is cut off, the expression of the characters can be more prominent. At the same time, a certain margin should be left on the left or right, which can make the composition more harmonious. There is no fixed requirement for the way of leaving white space, but it is best to leave white space on the lateral side of the face of the character to obtain a more natural effect.
