Multi-person shooting skills and post-production color matching of Japanese picnic photos

On June 5438+1mid-October last year, my friend Xu Kan wanted to shoot a special topic and specially conceived three MD picnics. My friend Omi, another female photographer, and I were also lucky enough to be invited to help shoot such a large-scale theme project. To be honest, when I heard the idea of shooting three people at a time, I was a little worried, because the results of similar experiences before were not very good. It's not like taking a big photo of a trip, because three young MD's are walking around like rabbits, and each of them has his own most photogenic angle and different expressions, so I try to correct and avoid the shortcomings in this shooting. For example, pay special attention to some details such as focal length, composition framing, and many people's' physical and emotional guidance'.

It is important to prepare clothes and props before shooting.

Before shooting, Xu Wei and Naomi have prepared all kinds of necessary props, including exquisite fantasy picnic tableware and bamboo baskets borrowed from professional studios, and also prepared many handmade biscuits and French bread. The three MD also put on elegant and elegant spring makeup, put on a white plain dress and boarded an authentic Dutch pure white gentleman car with a asking price of more than 30 thousand yuan. They put their homework in the most delicate state and seek the harmony of the overall picture style.

You know, if you use a lady's car that ordinary mothers use to buy food, or three lovely heroines wear clothes to buy food, one detail is enough to reduce the overall texture, so the devil hides in the details, and it will be a ghost if it is not handled well (pushing glasses).

However, this is also the photographer's enthusiasm and persistence. Although we can, we still try our best.

Numerical setting of multi-person shooting aperture

On the day of shooting, it turned cloudy and sunny. We set out from Taipei all the way to the door of a private ranch in Miaoli, where there is a beautiful American bamboo fence, a large area of green grass and Woods, picturesque and quite beautiful. In this way, under the background of the beautiful scenery and young girls, we started shooting.

Because we are shooting three people at a time, our aperture should be scaled appropriately according to the shooting distance, so that we can focus on three people clearly. In this day's shooting situation, the aperture is switched between F2.8 and 5.6 to avoid any beautiful girl whose beautiful face and figure are blurred by the big aperture, and I will be killed after shooting. You know, the more young and beautiful a girl is, the more terrible a killer lives in her heart.

Harmony of multi-person shooting, composition and framing

Because I have photographed the theme of a picnic before, the basic perspective is still familiar, but this time the protagonist has become three people. How to maintain harmony in composition is also a place that should be paid attention to.

It is necessary to show the girls' laughter time, but also pay attention to the interaction between the environment, props and the protagonist, so most of the pictures are for girls to give some instructions to play or play at a certain point, and then catch them in the process. A more real and beautiful moment. Because we are familiar MD friends, in the atmosphere of fighting and killing, there is still a state of constant feeding? It is easy to bring out the happy side of nature.
