Portrait commonly used composition are ()

Portraits usually consist of close-ups, close-ups and busts.

I. Close-up

1, the definition of close-up

Portrait close-up refers to a picture that only includes the head of the subject (or most of the head has eyes), and its main purpose is to show the facial features of the subject.

2, the difficulty of close-up

Because the facial image of the subject occupies the whole picture, it gives the audience a particularly strong visual impression, and has strict requirements on the choice of shooting angle, the use of light, the mastery of expression and the expression of texture. In particular, photographers should carefully study all artistic means related to photographic modeling.

3. Disadvantages of close-ups

Close-up of the head must be close to the main body. When taking a close-up portrait, the distance from the nose to the camera is shorter than the distance from the forehead, chin and ears to the camera. The nose in the photo is very big, which tends to distort the facial image of the subject.

Second, close-up view

1, the definition of close range

Close-range portraits include the images of the head and chest of the recipients, which mainly show the facial features of the characters. The background environment only accounts for a very small part of the picture and only plays a role in setting off the characters. Close-up portraits can also make the image of the subject give a strong impression on the audience. Close-up portraits can also contain a little background in the picture than close-ups, which can often play a role in explaining the environment and beautifying the picture.

2, close-up shooting matters needing attention

It is best to take close-ups with a medium-long focal length lens. When shooting close-range portraits, we should also carefully choose the shooting angle, the direction of light projection, the softness and hardness of light properties, and pay attention to the posture of the subject to master the appropriate shooting moment.

Third, the bust.

1, the definition of bust.

Busts usually go from the subject's head to the waist, or below the waist and above the knee. In addition to facial features, they usually include hand movements. Bust has more space than close-up or close-up portrait, so it can show more background environment and make the composition more changeable.

2. Advantages of bust

Because the picture contains the hand of the subject, it can help to show the inner state of the subject with the help of hand movements. Because the bust can be shot at or below the waist of the person, the posture change of the subject is much richer, which brings great convenience to the composition of the picture and enables us to shoot the subject more vividly.
