What are the main points of portrait shooting and why?

The main points of portrait shooting mainly include: composition, light, posture, expression, background and so on.

Portrait composition should conform to the visual aesthetic feeling, highlight the theme of the characters, and make the characters more prominent in the picture. The choice of light can determine the brightness and color of a painting, and the right light can make the picture more vivid. Character posture needs to show the character's temperament and personality, and also conform to the style of the whole picture.

Emotional expression is one of the most important factors for photos to convey to the audience. Proper expression can make the picture more realistic. The background needs to echo the theme of the scene and characters, and at the same time pay attention to the clarity and texture of the background. Shooting skills need to master the appropriate shooting angle, focal length and shutter technology in order to take a perfect portrait photo.

Choosing the right background can be said that portrait photography has succeeded more than half. In the choice of background, we should avoid messy or excessive scenes, and take pictures in simple and clean places, which not only makes the picture comfortable and beautiful, but also creates a Japanese natural feeling. Like the solid color background wall that can be seen everywhere in daily life, it is also a good attraction. Wearing clothes that contrast with the color of the wall obviously highlights the main body.

In the outdoor natural environment, you can choose grassland, forest, seaside, beach and so on. As a scene to explain the shooting background, increase the freshness. Photography itself is a two-dimensional space, and in portrait photography, we can give photos more three-dimensional sense and space with some gestures or composition. Therefore, try to avoid standing straight when taking pictures.

By adding curves and lines to the portrait with the help of the amplitude of limbs and body, the overall fluency of the picture will be better. If you don't want to make a big gesture, it's ok to tilt your head slightly or bend over. Combined with the use of light, it's easy to take beautiful photos. Theme, that is, the tone of your whole group of photos, choose the appropriate photo scene, props and clothing according to the theme, so that the photos can be more infectious.
