Share a little fresh shot with you.

Xiao Qingxin looks relaxed, but it is not easy to shoot. People usually see the surface of a new photo: whether the color of the photo is transparent, whether the model's movements are natural … these are the most basic things of a new photo. But the most important thing for Xiao Qingxin is to control the expression of the model's emotions, such as laughing happily or having a cute expression. Although there are many photos taken online, there are not many people and scenes.

1, every choice, achievement is different from Xiao Qingxin.

First of all, let's talk about the preliminary preparation. You must have your own ideas, that is, you should choose a good venue, clothes, models and props. If you don't make preliminary preparations, the film you may come out will feel different from others'. I took it in the same place, but because your clothes don't match the scene or the props are not in place, the photos taken are just different.

(1), site selection: green and color Generally speaking, small and fresh venues can be rich in green, such as schools, groves, rice fields and other places with rich colors.

(2) Model selection: Cute, cute models are best to choose cute, cute, or clear and simple eyes; Hairstyles can be short or long, but try not to divide them, or they will look more mature.

(3) Clothing selection: fresh and elegant, it is best to prepare some fresh and elegant clothes, and don't choose clothes that are too dark or dark.

(4) Prop selection: In a word, after the costumes and scenes are selected, props should be prepared. For example, if you are at school, you may need to prepare books and sports equipment related to the school. If you go to the fields, prepare insect nets or something. The props we prepare must match the scene. The choice of clothes, scenes, props and models is indispensable!

2, the box is small and fresh

When we are ready in the early stage, the rest is how to take pictures and how to compose pictures, which can make the photos cleaner and have a small and fresh picture.

First of all, talk about framing. I hope you can remember that there can be no more than four elements except the main body in the picture. For example, the photo below. Apart from the subject, there should be no more than four other elements: the first is the sky, the second is the mountain, the third is the sea, and the fourth is the sand. These are four elements. If you add other elements, there will be people or boats behind you, and the picture will look chaotic.

The key to framing: the sky

Besides people, what other elements are there in the picture above? First, the sky, second, the green plants, third, the wrecked ship, and three elements. But we should remember: location shooting is not 100%, but 90% of me will have the element of "sky". Why? Because after adding the sky, the photos will have a sense of space, which will make people feel that this is a big space and give people an imagination space. Let's take a screenshot and look at the sky.

This looks like a clean picture, but because of the lack of an element of the sky, it seems that the whole scene will be narrow, not so wide and a little depressed. When we take pictures, we should try to have the elements of the sky. So don't take too many photos in a group, because there will definitely be no sky after shooting.

3, it's very different anyway

In fact, the framing of the above two photos is similar, but I will make viewers feel different through the changes of horizontal composition and vertical composition.

In these two photos, the model's movements have not changed much. I will stand closer and take a picture with a horizontal composition, and then take a picture with a vertical composition, which will give the audience a different feeling. When taking pictures, you can also make different changes to the viewer through horizontal and vertical composition and distance switching.

4, far and near, each has its own customs.

When shooting, you can also close up the head portrait, bust or whole body environment according to the specific lighting conditions of the model itself and the surrounding environment, and finally show it in the photo. Specifically, it can be divided into distant view, middle view, panorama and close view, and close-up. Let's start with five kinds of scenery.

Close-up portrait close-up is based on the facial features of the photographer, and the whole picture will be occupied by the facial image of the portrait, so it will give the viewer a strong impression. The form will be relatively simple, the choice of shooting angle and the use of light, as well as the grasp of expressions, especially the expression of emotions and textures revealed by eyes will be more rigorous, just like the photo above. We need to pay special attention to her eyes.

Close-up Close-up Portrait shows the head and chest of the person being photographed, mainly showing the facial features of the person, and the background environment will take up a small part of the picture. Close-up portraits also have the characteristics of close-up portraits, and the model images taken give the audience a strong impression. At the same time, close-up portraits contain more elements of background environment than close-up pictures, which can just explain the environment and beautify photos, such as the photos above.

Chest images are often taken from the head of the subject near the waist, and the shooting range can reach above the knee. (Speaking of knees, I would like to add that when taking a portrait, you should either shoot the whole body or shoot it above the knee, otherwise it will give people the feeling of amputation. As shown in the figure below, the bust has more space, can show more background environment, can make more composition changes, and can also help show the inner state of the model with the help of hand movements. Make the model more lively.

The full-length portrait is as shown above. The bust has more space, which can show more background environment, make more composition changes, and help show the inner state of the model with the help of hand movements. Make the model more lively.

The last portrait in the foreground is a portrait in the foreground, which is very different from other portraits in other scenes. The visual field of vision is broad, the imaging pays more attention to the environment, expresses emotions, renders the atmosphere and artistic conception, and ignores the subtle expressions and movements of characters. But people are often the center of the photo, or the focus of sight, such as the photo below. Generally, there will be one or two portraits of distant people in a group of photos, which can explain the big environment without taking too many pictures, just like a composition, and explain the big environment in one or two paragraphs. If you were a girl, you wouldn't have to shoot this.

5. Just to present the most special you.

This central symmetry composition method is often used by beginners of photography. It looks harmonious to shoot the whole body, but if you shoot the whole body, it gives people an immersive feeling (excluding shots other than super wide angle). This kind is very simple. You can shoot the girls' department in this way. If there are other styles, you can have one or two. If there are too many, it will make people feel that the composition is very simple.

Symmetrical composition on both sides, generally used for the interaction between the main and deputy main. This composition can be used for couples' photos, girlfriends' photos or models and pets' photos. Generally speaking, this composition is used more in wedding photos. This is used when there is interaction without mutual interference, or when the subjects are equally divided. When shooting a single person, you can also put a bigger prop next to it.

Golden section Golden section composition, referred to as Jiugongge composition, is a particularly common and important composition method in shooting. Above, at the four intersections of Jiugongge, putting the main body at four points has a more harmonious effect, and also makes the whole sense of space and extension come out.

Triangle triangle composition is to make the main body form a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle, and the triangle has the characteristics of stability, balance and flexibility. You can look at the photos above, besides the triangle composition, there is also the golden section composition. A photo can have several composition forms.

Click the next composition is the composition of points, lines and surfaces. Say something first. Dots are similar to visions. A photo composed of dots can quickly attract people's attention and become the center of the photo. Points can be contrasted with other objects in the whole picture area. The subject can be seen at a glance in the following photos, that is, people, who can be at the center point or at the golden section point.

Line composition is followed by line composition, which is a kind of composition that advanced composition needs to learn. Like the photo above, what is line composition is the extension of this road, and the viewer will think about where this road will lead, so that the viewer has an extension of thinking.

For example, this photo, where is its sense of extension, this road, and this yellow guardrail, can't you see where its end is? This sense of extension will give the viewer room for imagination. The extension in this sense is not only roads, such as rivers, bodies, trunks, stairs ... these can all be.

Face? Face composition, when you see a photo, usually you can quickly identify the elements in the image. This element is called shape, which can immediately understand what object it is and give it a visual impact. Where do we usually use surface composition? Cover photos such as tent photos or fashion blockbusters are used a lot. That is, you can see the theme at first sight.

Incomplete image? Incomplete image composition is to discard the most important main elements, which can bring the viewer into a scene and convey a sense of proximity. I only left my lips when I saw the first photo, and the second photo only took a leg and chest, so that the viewer can imagine what the model's face or figure looks like. Generally speaking, imagination means thinking in your favorite direction.

Image hierarchy? The last one, which is also more important, is called image layered composition. A photo is divided into foreground, middle scene and background. Usually, the subject is placed in the middle scene, and then the foreground and background are blurred, giving people the impression that the photo is very stereoscopic and spatial. Basically, the composition used is the above. A photo can use one composition, or it can be mixed with several compositions.

For example, this photo uses the golden section, image layering, line composition, and the front eaves have the feeling of extending inward.

6. Emotional master

Before arousing our emotions, we should pay attention to some basic things, which I summed up after taking portraits for 7 years. When shooting small and fresh, the model's eyes are parallel to the outside, which has the advantage of not leaving too many white eyes; Let the model vent with her mouth and her lips slightly open. Don't let the model snicker, or the decree pattern will be more obvious. When the model bows his head, he must remember to push the back of his head forward a little to avoid the feeling of double chin.

About laughing? Let's talk about emotions first, communicate with the model first, and send her some similar photos to find some feelings. Generally speaking, if you laugh more, you can make people laugh. Don't show too many teeth when you laugh, mainly by bending your eyes. Laughing will be exaggerated and silly. For girls who can't laugh, we can shoot a little cute feeling, such as pouting. You can also shoot scissors when you are cute, but don't compare scissors to your chest. You can put your hands on your head, eyes and mouth. It's best to visit the scenery in person and make the most natural movements, such as turning around and looking up. These are all fascinating, and what we try to avoid is the actions that everyone is very artificial. If you can't get into the state all the time, you can try to chat with the model, and then praise and encourage her more, so that the model can naturally show better emotions and expressions in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

7, light control hand

Light is not particularly important for shooting. Having photos of Mitsudeki and your concern are completely different concepts. How can we make the photos look better by rational use of light? I found that many people will avoid shooting in the scorching sun, so they must wait until four or five o'clock to shoot. Many of my films are taken at noon or at two or three o'clock, that is, when the sun is shining.

Why do I choose to shoot when the sun is particularly strong? First, it will shine through the skin, and then the light and shadow part of that light will make the photo look more emotional and story-telling. For example, at noon 12, the sun shines directly. At that time, of course, we couldn't stand in the sun and shoot. We can choose the edge of the forest, or we can choose the place where the light beam will shine in the forest, so that the model can stand in the shadow, or use the shadow of the light on the leaves to pat the face, which is particularly beautiful.

This group of photos was also taken at 1 and 2 pm, and the light in the eyes can be diluted by liquefaction and grinding later.

For example, this one was taken on a cloudy day, and then it was treated as a sunny day. The sunshine effect after this treatment is quite different from that taken under real sunshine.
