How to avoid common problems in shooting?

When shooting people, the following mistakes often occur. Knowing mistakes can help people avoid making mistakes and make better works.

The characters are too small, and the environment steals the show.

Because the object of shooting is portrait, generally speaking, the proportion of portrait in the whole picture should not be too small. Usually, when we shoot portraits in our lives, we will choose a better environment, such as the lawn in the park and the fuzzy street lights in the city. At this time, we always give too much area because of the comfort of the environment, which eventually leads to the destruction of the picture in the lens. Because of the large environment and its rich information (multi-scene, multi-color and multi-line), the information of the characters is completely covered, and the characters cannot stand out, which eventually leads to the failure of the photos of the characters.

People are always placed in the center of the picture.

Generally beginners are used to putting the theme in the center of the picture. You can try to move the theme to the golden point or golden line of "well" composition, and develop the habit of focusing (locking) first and then re-composing.

When shooting people, the dissatisfied angle affects the presentation of the face.

When shooting people, the angle of the camera must be adjusted according to the characteristics of the face, fat and thin, shoulder width and so on. Shooting objects with different turns and angles at the same shooting point will have completely different effects. So when shooting people, you should carefully observe them from different angles, find the ideal angle and direction, and then press the shutter.

Inappropriate items appear to affect the picture.

We are always used to the process of shooting the picture first and then judging the effect of the picture. Perhaps the popularity of digital cameras has led people to take more and more reckless pictures, but in order to take the most ideal pictures of people, we must first have the concept of "perfect picture" and be keen to remove things that destroy the picture before pressing the shutter.

There is no awareness of interactive pictures.

Although in portrait photography, full-face portraits often appear, and the sides of some subjects are beautiful, in non-documentary portrait shooting, in order to make the picture more vivid and the photos more attractive, it is often suggested that the eyes of the model in the picture can be seen by the viewer. When the photographer makes eye contact with the viewer, the photos will show more vitality.

Awkward position of hand

Some people are not natural to the camera and don't know where to put their hands, so the photos taken will also appear unnatural or artificial.

Another most common problem is the "long thing" on the head. This problem is actually easy to avoid.

As long as you carefully observe the background and foreground before pressing the shutter, you can avoid it by slightly adjusting the position of the model.
