Portrait shooting skills in ancient villages

When taking portraits, you must set the shooting theme, which is equivalent to setting the central idea in advance when writing a composition. With the theme, you can choose scenes, set models, configure props, prepare lighting and other links according to the theme. Theme is the premise of a good set of photos. This link is quite important.

The best choice for us to take photos in ancient villages is to shoot portraits in ancient costumes, or we can shoot works in the style of the Republic of China and ethnic customs, which is more in line with the environment. At this time, we should also work hard on clothes and props, find clothes suitable for the environment, and then match them with suitable props to shoot artistic portraits. Props also include the preparation of outdoor lighting. Good use of lighting will definitely make the finishing point.

Aperture priority or manual shooting in m range can be used. If aperture is preferred, it is best to use spot metering, so that people's exposure will be no problem. You can choose a lens when shooting, or you can use wide-angle shooting, telephoto shooting, wide-angle shooting of environmental portraits, and telephoto shooting of portrait details.

Later portrait shooting is also very important. After the shooting, we make appropriate adjustments on the computer, such as tone, light and shade, contrast and so on, to achieve the unity of portrait and environment.
