Introduction to autumn landscape portrait photography

Go to see flowers in spring and summer, snow in winter and hot springs! What is the best thing to do in autumn? That is photography! In autumn, ginkgo biloba and red leaves are the best viewing seasons in many places. Not only the scenery is worth shooting, but also people are worth shooting. The following small series will introduce how to take portraits in autumn.

1, about clothing collocation, it is said that people rely on clothes, and choosing the right clothes will get twice the result with half the effort; Two color schemes are recommended to form the collocation of adjacent colors and contrast colors with the environment.

Choosing clothes with low saturation and warm colors, such as brown and yellow, will blend in well with the environment.

2, about the lens fixed focus lens

When shooting portraits of autumn scenery, it is best to use the lens of Jiao Da aperture; The blur effect of large aperture is the most convenient to use in the forest with mottled light and shadow, and the characters can be set off by the colors in the background environment.

The larger the aperture, the smaller the F value and the more obvious the blur. When shooting a close-up face, you can open the aperture to 1.4, and when shooting a bust or full body, you can open the aperture to about 2.0.

Pay attention to the color contrast between the subject and the environment when shooting.

When shooting to find an angle, you can use the foreground, middle scene and distant view in the environment to create a sense of hierarchy.

The sense of compression of (85%), combined with the blur effect of large aperture, leaves in the foreground, people in the middle scene and stairs in the foreground can be well distinguished. )

A large aperture lens can also capture many interesting details in the environment.

wide-angle lens

Wide-angle lens can shoot more environments because of its wide viewing angle, which is very suitable for travel.

The environmental portraits of Kotoo scenery can better set off the grandeur of nature when the proportion of characters is not large.

When the characters are close to the camera, the environment becomes a foil. Remember to put the characters in the middle area of the picture to prevent wide-angle distortion and ugliness.

If you want to shoot the effect of long legs, you must shoot them back. The position of the legs is placed in the lower area of the picture, and vice versa. The height of a heart is like this. ...

(High-angle pitching with short legs)

3. With regard to the use of light and shadow, Guangwu Mountain seldom encounters sunshine. When there is light, you must make good use of it to shoot.

Using the light above the river stone, the characters will jump out of the environment and echo the light on the nearby leaves. )

The front light shows a large face, and the side light and the side backlight are the best light for portrait shooting. Everyone needs to find the right light position in the scene in the early stage and arrange the position of the portrait reasonably.

4. Regarding composition, the first comfortable composition method needs to be "horizontal and vertical". This neat composition is the most practical at the beginning.

Symmetrical composition/central composition, so the stable composition is the easiest to get started and it is convenient to highlight the main characters. When taking double photos, a person's stable composition is also the best choice.

(Symmetry can be in the same plane or in series)

Triangular composition, also called 9-grid or TIC-tac-toe composition, as shown in the following figure, the main body is placed at the intersection of four lines, and the closer it is to the key point, the more comfortable the picture proportion is.

Many cameras have their own reference lines, which can be turned on when shooting. )

Use an extension cord to make the picture more spatial.

"lessismore", sometimes photography is just subtraction, and proper blank space can clarify the subject and reserve imagination space for the picture.
