How to shoot portraits in the flower season

0 1 portrait mode

When taking portraits, it is recommended to use the portrait mode in the mobile phone. At present, most mobile phones have the function of portrait mode, which is mainly used to blur the background, that is, the photos with clear characters and blurred background that we usually see. It can effectively blur the background clutter, make the background concise, and thus highlight the main body of the characters.

Plenty of light

In fact, whether shooting portraits or other subjects, light is particularly important. Timing determines the light. Usually, a sunny afternoon is a good time to take portraits. The light in the afternoon is softer, and the tone of the photos taken is softer. The contrast between light and dark in the picture is not particularly strong. You should avoid taking pictures in too strong and too dark light, which may lead to overexposure or dark exposure, thus affecting the tone of the picture. In addition, try to shoot in sunny days, and avoid shooting portraits when the light is insufficient on cloudy days, because most mobile phones shoot dull colors on cloudy days.

In addition, you can also find some places where you can create a sense of light and shadow. When shooting portraits outdoors, the hood is a light and shadow machine. The light spots produced by sunlight passing through leaves can increase the layering of photos and make people more attractive like photos.
