What should I do before portrait photography?

Portrait photography should first do a good job of scene selection and lighting before shooting.

1, the importance of scene selection.

When choosing scenery, we need to pay attention to that outdoor portrait shooting is often chosen, because nature is the best artist, and the different scenery it creates will give us different visual experiences, such as the grass will feel comfortable and relaxed, the sea will feel calm and not anxious, and the street shooting on the corner will have a very fashionable or retro feeling.

Of course, portraits will also be shot indoors, and different scenes will give people different feelings when shooting indoors.

2. The importance of light.

When choosing a scene, it is also important to look at the surrounding scenery and the surrounding light sources, because if you choose a relatively dark place, you need to consider whether you need to fill the light. For example, when shooting, you can stand under a tree and watch the sun shine on people through the cracks in the tree. You can also choose the shooting mode of backlight when shooting.
