How to take portrait photos like a professional photographer

Portrait shooting is mainly divided into indoor shooting and outdoor shooting. Canopy shooting can use artificial light sources to render or reshape characters. Location shooting is the use of natural light and location to render or reshape the role. Therefore, some people always say that photography is the art of running out of light.

Back to the specific:

1. It is recommended to read more professional books and practice more. We need to know the influence of various light sources on people.

2. It is suggested to know more about human body structure and posture. Not all models can understand how to express your intention. Many times, you need to guide the model's posture to reflect your composition and express artistic conception.

3. Make rational use of the influence of strong light, weak light, front light, side light and backlight on character modeling. For example, strong side light is easy to form strong lines suitable for men, while women like wireless lines with clean faces. Try to reduce lines with headlights and side lights.

4. Reasonable use of shallow depth of field formed by large aperture can highlight the theme and make the characters clearer.

5. Pay attention to the focus when the face is close-up. Generally speaking, clear eyes will make the audience feel more vivid.

Generally speaking, photography now is like driving a car. As long as you master certain knowledge and practice it, everyone can become a professional driver and professional photographer.
