What is the parallel position of shooting?

First of all, we should know how to determine the standard position of the plane.

Portrait shooting focuses on the face of the person, supplemented by the chest, shoulders and arms of the body, and shooting with body language extending to the waist, buttocks, thighs, calves and feet.

Then the camera position with the focus shooting as the parallel point is the standard position.

The focal length of portrait shooting is mostly from 50mm to 135mm, which can be extended from wide angle to telephoto according to different subjects. For example, in order to blur the relationship between the background and the subject, a focal length of 200mm or even longer is needed.

Using each different lens focal length, the determination of camera position is also different.

Head-up position: Wide-angle and medium-focus shooting are commonly used, mainly to reduce the influence of lens deformation on the subject. Generally speaking, the head-up angle is the position where the camera lens is parallel to the subject's chest. According to the description of the portrait, the angle changes slightly. For example, the head-up angle of a close-up lens is generally aimed at the nose of the subject; But the head of the shoulder is raised from the mouth; The bust above the waist, with the neck of the character as the rising point; The whole body image takes the chest as the head-up point.
