How to make a portrait look good and tall?

How to make a portrait look good and tall? For shorter subjects, if you want to shoot high and beautiful, and feel a little higher visually than the actual situation, you can refer to the following shooting methods:

1, only shoot the upper body.

If you really don't want to expose the shortcomings of your legs, just shoot the upper body directly and choose a clean and concise background. In addition to the flat shot, you can also use the backhand to lengthen your body proportion.

▲ Shooting upward can lengthen the proportion of the upper body, blur the subject out of the background and enhance the expressive force of the subject.

2, low angle+backhand

The backhand angle shows the leg length at a low angle, while avoiding the interference of the chaotic environment. It also highlights the center and shoots the impact picture. When shooting the backhand angle, the model should try not to look directly at the camera, but look up at the sky or far away to avoid double chin.

▲ Make good use of large elevation angle to shoot long legs.

In addition, using the height difference also uses the principle of elevation angle, using some stairs or high and low terrain to make the figure high and the lens low, which can maximize the proportion of the lower body, and it is no longer a problem to shoot long legs.

▲ Use the height difference to create the shooting effect of elevation angle.

3, the posture is appropriately higher.

Proper posture can also make the leg racket 10 cm long. Here are some common postures.

① Standing posture

A. Compass style: one leg stands upright and the other leg steps outward. If you wear flat shoes, please stand on tiptoe on the leg you stepped out, then the instep will become a part of your leg length.

B.4-shaped cross-legged: the left leg knees outward, the toes cross to the left of the right foot, and the toes touch the ground. You can turn left and right to see if you stand steady.

If you are embarrassed to face the camera, try to cover your face with props and take a sideways photo to highlight your figure. The most important thing is that your face value has also been greatly improved.

② Sitting posture

A. Sitting sideways: When sitting sideways, you can let one foot extend outward and one foot naturally bend, so that the extended foot and the body are in a straight line, which becomes a diagonal line in the figure and is very high. And because of the sideways, the facial features and figure will be slim and beautiful.

▲ Sit sideways.

B. Sitting in front: When sitting in front, keep your toes as straight as possible in the direction of the camera, and your legs look much longer. The elevation angle of the second term can also be combined. For example, sitting in a high chair will give you a sense of stretching, and it will also make the proportion of your body and head more harmonious and slim.

▲ Sit your ass a little, try to sit outside, and stretch your toes with your legs close to the camera.

③ Walking posture.

When walking, one foot is used as a strength support, and the other instep is stretched out as far as possible, making a gesture of being ready to walk.

▲ Walk so that the outstretched feet and legs are in a straight line and the legs are straight.

The posture that can show height is still very high. Here are just a few typical postures. What I want to say here is that the above methods can be combined in two or three, which is higher and more beautiful.

▲ Low-angle backhand, combined with the standing posture with one leg crossed forward, highlights the tall figure.

④ Self-portrait in the mirror

You can take a full-length photo without other people's help, and you can recess various shapes in front of the mirror. No one can resist the perfect long-legged shape without a picture. Fashion bloggers have become a popular way to take selfies.

▲ Stand with your legs in tandem, stretch your front legs, put your toes forward, and lean your upper body back as far as possible, so as to lengthen the lines.

4. Long legs in the later period

In actual shooting, the legs of the characters are not high enough because of the shooting angle, modeling or the model itself. Don't worry, you can also "pull" long legs later.

▲ Create long legs later.

Of course, a good portrait has many skills to learn and master, from the choice of costumes, props, scenes and models to the use of light, composition, posing of models and even the final stage. Please refer to the questions and answers above. How to take a portrait with a mobile phone?
