Basic skills of photographers

That is emotional intelligence. After communicating with the model, she trusts you and is willing to show her true side in front of you, or is willing to cooperate with you to explore her potential side. It's easy to take a portrait, it's easy to take a beautiful picture, and it's not easy to take a mood. If the model trusts you completely, it is very rare and easy to make a good film. With this item, you can toss and turn, remove tm composition and light, and the photos will be great.

2. Lighting

If there is a lack of communication, we should learn some skills honestly. Lighting is the first consideration. Just a brush can decorate people/create an atmosphere/set the tone. Anyway, it's important. I won't talk about the specific lighting skills. You must know something about smooth light/side light/backlight/strong light/soft light. The fat light angle of the model is larger, and the light with bad skin is softer. These materials are a lot of free online, so it is recommended to master some.

3. Skills

Composition/equipment/beauty, etc. Of course, these are also important, but they are by no means the most important. What you can learn by using the rules is not the most important thing. You can find many free ones online. study The most important thing is aesthetics/communication. In addition to talent, you can only accumulate experience by exercising slowly the day after tomorrow.

Step 4 be enthusiastic

Many excellent works we have seen, except accidental works, are not achieved overnight. Exaggerated, they are all works of one in a hundred. For beginners, the accumulation of quantity is a constant shortcut. If you don't take tens of thousands of photos, don't talk about any experience. Enthusiasm, not only for photography, for models, for yourself, for bad photos, for repeated failures and blows, needs your patience and enthusiasm to support. Of course, everything is like this.

5. Late stage

There has been a long debate about whether to pay attention to the later period and the degree of the later period, and each has its own ideas. My personal opinion is that your ability will be used in the later stage, and it will be your ability in the later stage. With this ability, you can choose whether to use it or not. In addition, in today's digital age, no one cares whether you use the late stage or not, but the result (of course, you should consider the specific situation, such as the competition). For example, Mr. Man Chen did a great job in the later period, and the result was awesome. No one criticized others.

6. Creativity

Portrait is the simplest and most difficult, and it is easy to fall into mediocrity. Almost all the ideas you can think of have been played by predecessors. So creativity can keep your photography alive. Insist on reading a large number of works of art (album/design/fashion/literature/music/drama, etc. ), keep thinking and keep trying. There is no boundary between creativity and art, and everything can be related to photography. Keep trying.

7. Independence and self-reliance

All art is lonely, and popular art is also divided into classes. We need to learn from the experience of our predecessors and communicate with our peers, but no golden rule can be applied to you. Don't believe what any famous artists say, and don't limit any official recommendation, including the correct operation of the camera. If you don't do commercial photography, you don't have to be wronged for customer satisfaction, then go to tm's rules, play as you want, and toss as you want.

(Art field) All uniqueness and Excellence are not imitations, they are all going their own way and letting others learn. Remember that you are a person, you have your own independent ideas, and there is nothing wrong with shooting according to your subjective consciousness (except news photography, etc.). ) inappropriate chestnuts: it is the duty to make a wedding a wedding, and it is the art to make a wedding a funeral. It doesn't matter how others treat you, what you think is important.

8. Aesthetics

Which means it will match. Matching includes clothing matching/background matching/props matching/environment matching and so on. Personally, I find it difficult to master the collocation of clothes. How much do you know about some basic skills of collocation? When matched, it can hide the ugliness and the photos look good. In fact, all combinations are the same, and colors/shapes/lines have some rules to follow, so don't be taboo.

9. Qualification

What qualifications did you say you needed? Are you kidding? ! Why do you need a degree? You are free to do anything without hurting others. You haven't said that you want to be a commercial portrait photographer, or what kind of portrait photographer you want to be, so you can't put forward exactly what kind of "qualifications" you need. Think of you as a portrait photographer/freelancer. You must have the equipment. You can have a micro menu without a camera. You have to have a mobile phone without a micro menu. Photography-a mobile phone is enough. If you have time, you have to get by, and don't be annoying when people see you.

10, model

Look for beautiful models to shoot, and look for expressive models to shoot, especially when you are new to portrait photography. Otherwise it will dampen the enthusiasm of portrait photography. Well, this one is just to make up ten, just saying.
