Structural skills of figure photography

After photography is completed, the image information stored in the medium must be read by human eyes again through conversion. The specific method depends on the photosensitive means and medium characteristics. For film cameras, there will be chemical processes such as fixing, developing and enlarging. For digital cameras, pictures need to be processed by computers and then output by other electronic devices. The following are the composition techniques of figure photography that I have compiled for you, hoping to help you.

Composition skills of figure photography 1. Highlight the graphics with a simple background.

The choice of background is very important when shooting portraits. If used properly, it can set off the atmosphere of the picture well, and the complex background can easily distract the viewer's attention. So try to choose a simple and harmonious background when shooting, so as to better highlight the subject. If shooting indoors, the wall or background cloth can be used first when looking up, and the bed sheet or floor can be considered when looking up. If shooting outdoors, you can consider using a large aperture to blur the background, or looking for beautiful building exterior walls and dense flowers. You can also look up with the blue sky as the background or look down with the grass as the background. In short, as long as the background selection is based on the simple principle, you can always find the right shooting scene and angle.

Second, use the infectious background to create beautiful pictures.

Simple background can make people stand out in the picture, but the picture lacks story and can't explain the surrounding environment of the characters in the picture well, so it is only suitable for shooting portrait works. If you want to make the picture more readable, you should choose the background according to the shooting intention or the characteristics of the subject. You can try to choose a beautiful scenery or content environment as the background to enrich and enrich the picture. This is especially important when shooting portraits with wide-angle lenses, so wide-angle lenses will be integrated into more picture environments, so the choice of background is more important. In addition, we should also pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of the position of the characters in the picture, in order to get photos with aesthetic feeling and outstanding characteristics of the characters.

Third, choose a large aperture to get a shallow depth of field.

As mentioned above, the larger the aperture (such as f/ 1.8, f/2.4), the smaller the aperture value and the smaller the depth of field. The smaller the aperture (such as f/ 18, f/22), the larger the aperture value and the greater the depth of field. If you want to get a photo with a shallow depth of field, you should first consider shooting with a large aperture. Large aperture plays a very important role in portrait photography and human art photography, which can obtain a beautiful blur effect of shallow depth of field and help us ensure a higher shutter speed in the case of poor ambient light.

Fourth, close to the theme

The easiest way to get a shallow depth of field and blur the background is to put the camera close to the model when the distance between the model and the background is constant, so that the effect of shallow depth of field can be easily obtained, the characters are more prominent and the background is naturally blurred. When shooting, we should pay attention to the fact that the foreground can't be a messy scene, because the foreground will be clearer in the picture when the lens is close to the model.

5. Keep the background away from the subject to get a shallow depth of field.

Changing the distance between the model and the background is also one of the methods to obtain shallow depth of field. Arranging the model at a certain distance from the background (not necessarily close to the model) can also achieve a perfect shallow depth of field effect. Simply put, the farther away the model is from the background, the easier it is to form a shallow depth of field, from which a greater blur effect can be obtained.

Six, let the characters become the visual center of the three-point composition method

Three-dimensional composition can be divided into horizontal three-dimensional composition and vertical three-dimensional composition. When shooting a portrait, the picture is divided into three equal parts horizontally and vertically. The torso of the person can be placed on each dividing line, and the face or eyes of the person can be placed on one of its four intersections, so that the person can be more clearly highlighted.

Seven, curve composition method shows the softness of female body.

Curve composition is divided into S-shaped composition and C-shaped composition. When shooting female portraits, S-shaped or C-shaped compositions are often used to show the femininity and sexiness of the body. Among them, S-shaped composition is the most commonly used, and C-shaped composition also has a good performance effect in expressing women's feminine figure, but it is weaker than S-shaped composition. Usually, when a woman with good figure stands naturally, she can shoot a beautiful S-shaped curve from the side, but if she shoots from the front, she needs the model to tilt slightly. In addition to these two angles, you can also form a sexier S-shaped curve by lying down.

Eight, stretching the diagonal structure of physical beauty.

Diagonal composition is often used in portrait photography. When the posture or body movements of the characters appear diagonally in the picture and occupy enough space, the diagonal composition method is formed.

The stretching effect produced by diagonal composition has a very good effect on expressing the slender figure of women or beautifying the defects in the body material of the subject. When taking a portrait with this composition method, the instep of at least one foot should be stretched straight, so that the body line extends from the leg to the instep, so as to play the role of lengthening the body line.

Nine, triangle composition method to express the sense of stability of the picture

Triangle composition is a typical composition form in portrait photography, which is divided into regular triangle, inverted triangle and oblique triangle. When shooting, the limbs or postures of the characters are combined into a triangle. This composition has a strong sense of stability and upward impact, and the face of the person is usually located at the top of the triangle as the visual center.

Ten, horizontal frame portrait.

The horizontal frame composition is widely used by people mainly because the horizontal frame conforms to people's visual habits and physiological characteristics, because people's eyes are horizontal and many objects extend in the horizontal direction. Portrait photography suitable for people and environment can also be used to shoot group portraits.

Portrait photography composition introduction The so-called portrait photography is a form of photography with characters as the main creative object. Portrait photography is different from ordinary portrait photography: portrait photography takes the description and expression of the specific appearance and expression of the subject as its primary creative task. Although some portrait photography works also contain certain plots, they mainly show the appearance of the subject.

An excellent portrait photography is the sum of many successful factors: expression, posture, composition, lighting, exposure and production, which are all components of a whole.

Because the facial image of the subject occupies the whole picture, it gives the audience a particularly strong visual impression, and has strict requirements on the choice of shooting angle, the use of light, the mastery of expression and the expression of texture. In particular, photographers should carefully study all artistic means related to photographic modeling. Whether it is a 35 mm camera or a 120 camera, it is difficult and incorrect to take close-ups with standard lenses. Because the close-up of the head must be very close to the subject, the distance from the nose to the camera is shorter than the distance from the forehead, chin and ears to the camera when shooting a portrait at close range, and the nose appears very large in the photo, which is easy to distort the facial image of the subject. At the same time, if the subject bows his head slightly, his forehead will look big and his chin will look short; Looking up slightly, the chin will look long and the forehead will look small. So it's best to shoot with a medium-long focal length lens. In that case, the distance between the camera and the subject can be a little farther to avoid perspective deformation.
