The Art and Skills of Human Photography

The art and skills of human photography are as follows:

2. Place the subject in the foreground, so that the picture can contain enough space to become a Zhang Quanjing photo.

3. Make the subject and background have appropriate differences in tone or tone, or form sharp contrast.

4. Emphasize the main part of the composition with light to make it appear the highest brightness.

5. Focus on the main body accurately, so that the secondary part or background loses its clarity.

6. Assemble the main line in the picture to the center of meaning and emphasize it with light spots. This method is often used to represent the inside.

7. Set the subject at or near the center of the picture. If there is nothing particularly eye-catching nearby, the audience will first notice the subject.

8. Use the shooting angle to emphasize the subject. However, it should be noted that extreme depression angle or elevation angle should not be applied.
