How to take photos of abdominal muscles (the whole process of male model photography of abdominal muscles)

There are many beauty photography guides on the internet, which will inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue, and male photography skills must be something you rarely see.

The male model under the photographer's lens is still tough without losing beauty, and it is still attractive in exquisiteness.

Let Yan Na, a new generation shutter photographer born in 1980s, share his male shooting skills!

First, shoot with a hard light source to highlight people's texture.

These two works are both shot with hard light sources, which mainly highlight the texture and outline of the characters.

The red background is difficult to control, so the background should be handled properly, otherwise it is easy to have shadows. Therefore, when the hard light source is used as the main light source, soft light is needed to remove redundant shadows.

Late guidance

Use curves to open the contrast, while emphasizing the contrast between light and shade of muscle lines. The red background is an important area, because the character's skin itself has the red factor, so when you can adjust the color, you must pay attention to the red background, which is easy to cast color.

Therefore, after the red background is off color, the primary color is erased with an eraser and adjusted repeatedly, and the black and white curves are used to adjust the dark areas and bright areas in gray mode.

Second, the backlight shooting technique outlines the perfect outline.

Mainly the shooting technique of backlight. The back light can brighten the background and make people influenced by the light. Therefore, seeing the backlight effect on both sides of the model's cheeks can perfectly outline the figure you want and expand the visual sense.

Late guidance

Adjust the color level, pull out the background area of the backlight, and draw the skin of the character closer to golden yellow in the curve. Then, within the color saturation, select the color area where the plant color is located and adjust it to the desired effect. The last step is very important. Brightness contrast will open up the texture of the whole character.

Third, the black and white style man under the hard light technique

Mainly the shooting technique of backlight. The back light can brighten the background and make people influenced by the light. Therefore, seeing the backlight effect on both sides of the model's cheeks can perfectly outline the figure you want and expand the visual sense.

Late guidance

Adjust the color level, pull out the background area of the backlight, and draw the skin of the character closer to golden yellow in the curve. Then, within the color saturation, select the color area where the plant color is located and adjust it to the desired effect. The last step is very important. Brightness contrast will open up the texture of the whole character.

Fourth, the combination of strong light and soft light highlights facial lines.

A little emphasis on the effect of light and shadow, the original picture is actually shaded, and it was later repaired. This group also adds a reflector to use light. With the cooperation of strong light and soft light, the facial contour that the character wants to highlight can be more perfect because of the assistance of the reflector.

Late guidance

First of all, there is a shadow in the background during the early shooting. You need to create a new layer, find the background color, and erase the shadow with a brush. Be careful.

At the same time, give the model the makeup you want. Similarly, choose colors in the brush to form the model. It can be seen that the film is actually in a low saturation state. The first step is desaturation. When the saturation decreases, the color is rendered for the picture, and the contrast on the curve is also turned on.

You can choose colors to adjust subtle tones, photo filters to superimpose the colors you want, and finally, sharpen the skin texture you want.

Yan Na's later experience

In fact, the later stage is a stage to test understanding and aesthetic ability. It is very necessary to have a preliminary orientation of the works to be presented in your mind when shooting in the early stage.

Blind shooting will bring the effect of reducing points in the later stage. After full preparation, when you start work later, you will render according to the effect set in the previous stage, and the texture of the skin will affect the quality of the film.

Whether the scar is left or not and whether the facial features are transferred is a matter of opinion. It is entirely personal aesthetics, and color is the soul of a movie. How to make the film more touching, you need to make a strong or elegant smudge for the picture according to what you want to express.

In fact, I always think that the later stage is a work of the soul, and no matter how good the technology is, it is better to have a good aesthetic ability.
