Eight Composition Methods in Portrait Photography

Composition is also important when taking portraits. Good composition can not only make people look more beautiful, but also reflect the overall aesthetic feeling. Composition is a very important issue.

Portrait composition is varied. Like other thematic photography, composition has many similarities and can be used universally. But some people have unique composition skills, composition methods and bust composition, which are different from other photography. Shooting half a body composition to express the beauty of the characters can retain the beauty of some characters.

Portrait composition can also be shot in full body, which can show the whole character and give people a full-face interpretation. Or the collocation of clothes can reflect the overall taste of the characters. When the characteristics of the characters are not obvious, such a composition can be considered to show the whole picture of the characters.

The silhouette shooting of figures, especially female figures, can well show the beauty of women's curves, but it requires a higher figure of women, and the curves have a beautiful feeling from beginning to end. Silhouette shooting the composition of feminine curvy body can boldly show feminine lines of feminine body.

When people and scenery are together, their backs can be combined with the scenery, with the scenery as the background and the people as the main body, but the front of the people will attract the audience, so it will make people daydream to let the people's backs be the theme and cooperate with the broad background. This composition can be used for the composition of large scenes as the background.

When shooting a character, in order to highlight a certain part of the character, such as facial expression, close-up composition can be used to fill the whole part of the picture, so that the five senses can be enlarged and the nuances can be seen clearly. It can also be used to show the smooth skin of girls, and the advantages of a certain feature of a character can be infinitely magnified.

It is also a common portrait composition to highlight people with blurred background. In order to avoid the influence of too much background on people when shooting people, we can blur the background to highlight people, but we must master the "degree" of ambiguity. Although excessive blurring can achieve the effect, it will make the whole photo look abrupt and "fake". This is the problem of ambiguity. Don't let people be independent from the background.

Using some nine squares is also a common composition method in daily character shooting. The figure is in the middle, with background or some objects on both sides, but some objects can still be distinguished, so that the figure and background are integrated into a space. The objects on both sides of the character and the character are roughly equal in screen area, but the objects on both sides are incomplete, which will weaken the vision of the object and highlight the character.

It is also a good choice to use some movements of characters to compose a composition. You can make the characters do some actions or demonstrate some gestures to form a composition, you can show the actions of the characters to add a sense of movement to the picture, and you can also use the actions to produce visual guidance. The figure's posture itself is beautiful, just like a ballet dancer, which is beautiful, but not everyone is a ballet dancer. You can make some other postures to make a composition.
