Commemorative photos, how to highlight the subject of the characters?

The significance of commemorative photos lies in recording people's modality and the relationship between people and scenery. No matter where the characters are in the picture and what proportion they occupy, they are the center and subject. Therefore, when shooting, we should mobilize the photography skills as much as possible to highlight the performance of the subject.

Focus on people, blur the background with a larger aperture, and set off the clear outline of the old man. When taking a commemorative photo of Quan Jingshen with clear characters, background and accompanying body, we should consciously use the characters in a clear and exposed position. In the commemorative photos of Quan Jingshen, which mainly record the scenery, the proportion of people and scenery should be appropriate. The position of the characters is too far away, which will reduce and weaken the dominant position. The proportion of characters and scenery is appropriate, and they all perform well.

Some people think that people who take commemorative photos are all in front of the picture, and there is no problem of not being prominent. Not really. For example, there is a messy background behind the protagonist, or there are many people; Sometimes, the brightness of light is close to the tone of people and scenery, so it is not easy to highlight the subject, and the photographer must mobilize the corresponding technical means to get close.

The contrast between reality and reality is the most commonly used method to highlight the main characters. When shooting, you can take a large aperture and a short depth of field to make the scenery outside the subject fuzzy and hazy; Or move the shaking lens and press the shutter while following the subject, and you can get a clear and prominent picture effect.

However, the method of contrast between reality and reality is sometimes unsatisfactory, especially in the case of clear panoramic views of people and scenery. The method of contrast between reality and reality can't show the surrounding environment characteristics of the subject, but the method of color contrast can make up for its shortcomings.

There are many color contrast samples, such as black-and-white contrast, light-dark contrast, light-dark contrast and so on. Photographers can use it flexibly in different occasions. For example, in the park lawn and forest, take commemorative photos of several young women, who wear plaid, pink and light yellow clothes ... The skirts will be more colorful under the green trees. If you wear the same dress and take photos among thousands of flowers, the gorgeous dress is mixed with flowers, and young women will naturally drown in the sea of flowers. If young women wear elegant and plain clothes, flowers will set them off, even if their proportion in the picture is small, they will stand out clearly.

In some occasions, when the photographer can't adjust the subject and the clothes he wears (such as a party), in order to make the protagonist stand out from the crowd, he can also use a flash. But at this time, the flash is covered with a thin gauze or handkerchief, and the protagonist is illuminated with a weak and narrow beam of light. You can get photos: the surrounding crowd is dark and the protagonist is bright; The shadow lines are delicate and rich; The effect of a strong atmosphere at the scene.

In short, there are many ways to highlight the main characters in commemorative photography, and film friends can "draw inferences from others" in practice to make the photos look better.
