How to hide your double chin by taking pictures with fat paper?

With the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era, people's material life is greatly enriched, which is followed by a new problem: the face becomes fat, and it is easy to have a double chin when taking pictures.

The fat on the face cannot be solved by photography; However, proper photography posture and skills can effectively hide the double chin and prevent it from appearing in the photo for everyone to see.

Today, photographer Koldunov and his old partner, the chubby handsome guy, explained the technique of "eliminating double chins" to us, which can be used for taking photos or facing the camera. Don't miss it!

Normal shooting, chubby handsome guy with double chin. How to eliminate it?

1. Neck extension type

First, let's look at the most basic neck extension. This trick is used to shoot those big faces (such as id photos) that are sitting in danger, and the effect is wonderful!

The specific action is: the neck is slightly extended forward. In this way, your chin muscles will tighten, the accumulated fat will naturally decrease, and your double chin will naturally disappear.

Well, saying "disappear" may be a bit exaggerated. Some chins are so big that you can't shake them off even if you stretch your neck-but at least you can make them look less obvious.

We can see that the chubby handsome boy's double chin, which was not too big, disappeared after the neck extension tactic:

Before/after neck extension

It should be noted that the neck should not be stretched too long-it will not only remind people of the tortoise and the tortoise, but also make the expression stiff because of this uncomfortable posture.

Another negative effect is that this method will make your neck look shorter; However, you can match the low-necked clothes to offset this negative effect.

Step 2: Lateral

At the same time, the neck is slightly turned sideways, so that the angle of rotation of the neck is greater than that of the body. This can stretch the meat on the neck more naturally and achieve the effect of eliminating double chins.

This chubby handsome guy leans forward and backward, and his face value is quite different:

Front/rear side

This action is more subtle and natural than the neck extension, and has less influence on the expression; At the same time, the side is thinner than the front.

The disadvantage of this move is that the reduction of double chin is small (this action has limited stretching of chin muscles), and it is only suitable for people with "mild double chin".

3. Highlight position

This move does not require the subjects to adjust their posture, which has obvious effect on reducing double chins, but it has great restrictions on the applicable population: it is only suitable for men.

This is not sexism, the real reason is contempt.

The specific operation is: turn up the illumination and let the light hit the face from top to bottom, like this:

That's it? Does it really work?

It really works! This kind of light level similar to the top light can form more shadows on the face, making the facial features more three-dimensional and the lines more certain (but this effect is not good for women).

At the same time, the chin part naturally becomes a shadow, and naturally there is no double chin:

This method needs to pay attention to that the illumination should be appropriate, the chin should become a shadow, and the shadows of the five senses should not be too much.

If the light level is too high, it will form an effect similar to the top light, forming a large shadow on the eye socket, cheeks, people and lower lip, which is very unsightly:

If you don't want to shoot this feeling of "cold-blooded pervert killer", don't let the light level be too high.

4. High altitude type

If you have ever seen a girl taking a selfie with her mobile phone, I don't need to introduce this method.

Raise the plane position (or lower the height of the face) and beat 45 degrees from top to bottom, so that you can't see your double chin at all (blocked) and your face looks sharp.

Both men and women should actually shoot in this way. Under the premise of fixed face value, it is the purpose and significance of portrait photography to shoot people as well as possible ~

Look at our hero, chubby handsome boy, he is handsome again;

5. Wide-angle close-up type

The distortion of the wide-angle lens can make the face look smaller! Moreover, the closer you get to the camera, the more obvious this effect will be.

Don't believe it? Teacher Koldunov used a 24mm wide-angle lens to shoot portraits at different distances, and later cut off close-ups of faces to make such a comparison:

From this picture, we can see that as the distance from the lens to the face narrows, the wide-angle distortion becomes more and more obvious, and the chubby handsome face becomes smaller.

But if the distance is too close and the distortion is too strong, the chubby handsome guy will become unlike the earth. Therefore, it is important to control the distance. Try taking more pictures.

6. The ultimate killer skill provided by Skill Jun..

The above are five methods provided by foreign professional photographers to eliminate double chins, but after trying, Ji Jun found that they have one biggest limitation: they can't cope with big double chins.

For example, if your subject has such a large double chin, the above five methods are completely useless:

"Let me lose weight ~" "Get out! ! ! "

What should I do if I have to shoot "no double chin" when I encounter such a huge double chin?

In view of this problem, Ji Jun and the technical team members discussed around the clock and worked hard around the clock to finally provide a perfect solution:

What happened? Don't you have a double chin If you don't clap your chin, you won't have a double chin!

What? You said "uglier than a double chin"? I'm sorry, I just want to ruin my double chin, whether it looks good or not.

Take a step back and say, if the flesh on your face is really like this, go back and reflect on it, and don't embarrass the photographer, ok ~
