How to shoot a good portrait?

In the creation of portrait photography, the skills of portrait learning are opposite to those of portrait learning. You also learn to ask, when do you use the overhead technique? If you want to create a petite, cute and playful girl image and describe the shy, weak and even inner state of the characters, how can you do the portrait tilting technique?

This paper introduces in detail the concept of portrait foundation, the application of portrait shooting skills and the detailed composition of shooting, so that you can easily master the portrait shooting method from the simple portrait shooting.

First, the concept of prone shooting

Simply put, aerial photography means that the photographer shoots from top to bottom at a high shooting angle. This shooting method is not only suitable for portrait photography, but also often used when shooting some big scenes and DV cameras. What impressed me most was the live photos of various sports meetings. In order to show the huge scene and capture the panorama, most of them use the technique of overhead shooting. In fact, overhead photography has been used in previous photography techniques, so I will explain it in detail here.

Second, the application of prone shooting skills

In portrait directional shooting, we also use the perspective deformation characteristics of wide-angle or even ultra-wide-angle lenses to complete our characterization, making the characters look "big head and small feet". Although sometimes it is not conducive to the physical beauty of the model, such "unfavorable factors" are very beneficial to the relatively petite model and the shooting intention we mentioned earlier.

In this portrait photography, the photographer used a higher angle to complete the composition of the characters. In the picture, the model looks like a "big-headed doll" because of the characteristics of "near big and far small" caused by perspective deformation, but it is this picture effect produced by overhead shooting that makes the characters more playful and lovely.
