What if you don't feel photogenic?

Many times, it may not be that you are not photogenic, but that you are not used to the camera, so your expression is unnatural, or you don't know how to show your good side. Today, I sorted out some photo-taking tips to solve the "fear of taking photos". Whether you want to take a photo with no experience or want to take a better photo in your daily play, you can learn it ~

First, the reason why ordinary people feel that they are not photogenic

Models with shooting experience are more familiar with the feeling of the camera facing themselves, so the camera sense and expressive force will be better and more open. On the contrary, I am embarrassed to make big moves in front of the camera, or my movements are stiff and my expression is out of control. Such a bad experience makes you feel that you are not photogenic.

Second, distraction.

If you are shooting with a straight face, you can look away or shout "Look at me" before pressing the shutter, instead of "looking at the camera and trying to forget to take pictures, showing the most real and natural side, or using shooting props to divert your attention and pretend to be doing something else for the other party to capture.

Third, focus on the side face

If you feel nervous in front of the camera, you can let the photographer focus on the side face to set off the atmosphere. Here, the photographer should pay attention to guide the model's eyes to the direction of the camera (otherwise all eyes facing the camera are white), and the model can look up slightly and chin backwards, which can also make the line sense of the side face more obvious.

Fourth, highlight the sense of atmosphere.

You can try the "faceless" shooting method. Here, it is not to let you not pat your face, nor to cover your whole face, but to cover the ugly/unnatural parts through the shooting angle and specific actions. For example, backhand, slightly turn around, cover your mouth or cheeks with props or gestures, etc. Create an atmosphere.

5. Take a distant view/snapshot.

If you are in a place with beautiful scenery/background, you can try to take some distant photos. Or you can just stay in the state of playing (where there is no one around, you can boldly do some exaggerated actions) and let the photographer snap pictures crazily. The picture taken in this way is very interesting even if it is pasted. )

Sixth, tips:

1. When you are nervous, you may grin involuntarily, or your eyes are wide open and your expression is too serious, which will also lead to the feeling of not being photographed. So relaxing is really important. You can try to take more photos of an action to familiarize yourself with that style.

2. Praise can make people feel beautiful and more confident. Photographers must encourage the performance of models, so that models will become more and more open.

3. On the day before shooting/going out to play, you can search for some photos taken in similar scenes on the Internet in advance according to the venue you want to go to the next day, learn from other people's actions and practice in front of the mirror.

For girls who feel that their faces and mouths are not good-looking, they can learn more hand movements or buy a bunch of flowers, which are not only good props, but also can be used to block their faces.

In short, taking pictures is having fun, and taking pictures looks good. You don't have to think the posture is grandiose and strange. Behind the beautiful photos you see is a model who doesn't know how difficult it is to shape.
