A few simple photography skills

No one is naturally good at taking pictures, especially taking pictures of others, which requires later exercise and training. So, today I will introduce several common and necessary street shooting skills. If you think it's ok, you can transfer it to your female ticket or male ticket to help your circle of friends. Crazy, I hope to be an online celebrity. ......

The position of the camera is below the waist

That is, when taking pictures, the camera is placed below the waist of the subject, instead of shooting obliquely or up and down. The advantage of this is that you can see the individual and the collocation clearly, and at the same time show the leg length. Of course, one thing to note is, don't forget to focus on your face, unless you want to emphasize a single item on your body. It is possible to clap your chin from bottom to top, so you can pout when shooting.

The proportion of blank space is very important.

If you shoot the whole body, that is, from head to toe, you should pay attention to the blank space of the photo as a whole. Generally speaking, it is best to leave the feet and head blank at the ratio of 1:2, but Japanese network celebrities may prefer to leave the head blank at the ratio of 1:3-5 because they are short. This will also make the whole photo less crowded.

If you don't want to show up ...

Then why don't you shoot a soul in the street?

Haha, just kidding. If you don't want to show your whole face because your face is too big, you can naturally cover part of your face with hats and sunglasses, in addition to bowing your head or patting your side face. If you are afraid of being told that you are wearing sunglasses, you can try some fancy designs.

The background should be simple.

The background should be simple, and a white or light background can highlight the people and clothes in the photo. If you think the white background is too monotonous, you can also try to use natural scenery or bricks and walls as the background, which can make the scene of street shooting more associative.

Flexible use of "smooth light" and "oblique light"

In order to show the details of people and objects more clearly, it is necessary to take pictures in bright places, which involves the question of where the light comes from. Shun light, that is, light from the front, can properly express colors and details, while oblique light from the side (as shown above) can create a three-dimensional sense and texture, making the photo look more fashionable. If you can use smooth light and oblique light in the same photo at the same time, then the degree of foreign flavor in this photo will be by going up one flight of stairs! In addition, if backlight processing, street shooting and the like are avoided as far as possible, unless it is intentional.

It's wrong to stand up straight.

Not a group photo. Why are you standing so straight?

Please move a little when taking a photo, which will enrich the expression of the whole photo. The main points are as follows:

A. Although I told you not to stand too straight, it doesn't mean that you should stoop. Your back still needs to stand up.

B. don't put your feet together completely, you can separate them slightly or cross them for a little gesture.

C. the corners of the mouth are slightly raised. You can laugh or not, as you like, but don't be cold.

D. If there are pockets on your clothes and trousers, you can pretend to put one in your hand.

After mastering the above six skills, you can take better-looking and higher-quality photos than ordinary people. Let's enter the advanced application chapter and take you to the next level.

Decide the posture according to the theme of wearing.

→ If you wear active clothes, your shoulders, waist and feet need a little angle when taking pictures, so you can't stand upright.

→ If it is a formal dress or a top-grade elegant dress, don't open your legs too wide, hold your backpack with your arms, and the shoulders and waist should be parallel to create a calm and atmospheric image. Looking straight, it will be more elegant if the character is placed in the middle of the whole photo.

Highlight Hanfu with Depth of Field

If you wear gorgeous fashion and want everyone to focus on it, you should use and adjust the depth of field. The easiest way is to change the aperture size of the camera, and this will not be unfolded. You can study it yourself. In short, if you want to highlight the clothes, you have to make the background shallow and fuzzy, so that the photos show a large sense.

Have a sense of trisection.

Three-point composition method is to divide the whole picture into three equal parts horizontally and vertically, similar to the nine-square grid, and then put you at the intersection of the dividing lines, so that you can take better-looking photos. Look at the comparison above, or try it yourself. Ordinary cameras have their own dividing lines. For iPhone: Settings > Photos & Cameras > Grid can be opened and found in the camera app with Android.

Girls can go "s"

If you consciously pose with an S-shaped curve, you can perfectly show the beauty of a woman's body (unless you have no chest or ass). When standing, in order to make an S-shape, you should consciously adjust the position of your head, chest, waist, knees and feet, but not too deliberately. Please grasp this degree yourself. If you really don't have breasts, you can be like the girl in the picture above. It looks like your hand is just blocking, but it's actually a little pushing.

See here, if you have mastered these 10 skills, going to a magazine is not a dream! The praise of friends circle will also multiply. Finally, there is a special article about professional photographers taking special reference photos for friends who only use mobile phones instead of cameras.
