Preparatory course for indoor girl portrait

The preliminary course of indoor girl portrait is as follows:

1. Composition:

I seldom use symmetrical composition in shooting, because it will make me feel bored and lifeless. Of course, there are also many works with particularly successful symmetrical composition, such as the film The Grand Budapest Hotel, which applies this to the extreme, and there are also many photographic works with symmetrical composition. But for my favorite emotional films, I seldom use them.

What I often use is nothing more than the well-known dichotomy, diagonal and so on.

In addition, different viewing angles and focal length changes will bring different composition methods, and the composition used in close-ups, busts, full-length images and environmental images is also different. Combining these perspectives in a group of works will enrich your works.

In fact, there are no specific rules for composition, and any composition that can better express the intention of the work should be respected. Many times, it's not that we don't know these rules, but that we have never thought about the theme of the photo. What is the theme? In short, remember one thing and remove the irrelevant factors in the picture.

An important means derived from composition is secondary cutting. Although it belongs to the later stage, the effect brought by the second cutting is amazing. Don't think that only black and white can save the waste film, its effect is no less than black and white. It can turn the whole body into a bust and turn the bust into a close-up. On the contrary, it can also make the environment in a small space more atmospheric.

The second extension-jigsaw puzzle.

When shooting, you can try to shoot some environments or small still lives by the way. After that, people will be spliced into a photo with the environment or still life. This kind of film has a different taste and can also enrich your work. Or, when you feel a few films are dull, try splicing them together to see the effect.

2. Background selection:

The choice of background is also very important in portrait shooting. The great difference between travel photos and high-quality photo photos lies in the background, and its choice should be slightly fastidious. First, choose the background related to the shooting theme. Second, consider color matching and color contrast effect.

Some people think that when the environment is chaotic, it is enough to blur the background with a large aperture. In fact, works that rely too much on large apertures are not attractive. Therefore, the selection of background must be subtracted, unnecessary elements should be removed, the main body or theme of the photo should be highlighted, and relevant elements and colors should be retained, especially in private houses with dirty indoor environment.

Otherwise, the chaotic or mixed background will definitely reduce the quality of your photos.
