Basic photography skills needed for wedding photography

Three factors affecting' depth of field'!

Aperture: The larger the aperture, the shallower the depth of field, and the smaller the aperture, the deeper the depth of field. Lens focal length: The shorter the lens focal length, the deeper the depth of field, and the longer the lens focal length, the shallower the depth of field. Shooting distance: The closer the shooting distance, the shallower the depth of field and the deeper the shooting distance.

The simplest "measurement" element!

When measuring light, as long as you find a place near the middle gray level in the scene, you can get the correct exposure. The general metering range will be concentrated at the bottom of the picture. If the composition needs to be shot directly, first take the camera horizontally to measure the light, and then take a picture directly. For small area metering, you can switch to the telescope lens metering first, and then switch back to the original lens shooting.

The most basic "composition" skills!

Golden section law: that is, divide four sides of a photo into three equal parts and connect them into a "well" shape with a straight line. The theme center of the photo should be placed at the intersection of four lines. This is the most widely used and oldest composition rule, so it should be used more.

Break the traditional three-way composition method, that is, half of the three-way composition is equal to the "six-way composition method", the horizon or horizontal line is placed at one sixth, and the photo theme should also be placed at the golden section.

The simplest "contrast" composition method!

Contrast method of light and shade:

Far and near contrast method:

Size comparison method:

High and low contrast method:

Rigid-soft contrast method;

Color contrast method:

What is "color temperature"?

When it comes to color, such as "a red light source", it is difficult to express how red it is in words. Therefore, the value of "color temperature" is used to replace the color of light in photography.

For example, when a completely dark object is heated and the temperature rises to a certain extent, it will start to emit dark red light; With the increase of temperature, the color of this light will obviously change from orange to yellow to white to blue, and the temperature at that time (absolute temperature = K) represents the color of the light of this heating product, which is called "color temperature".

Because the higher the color temperature, the bluer the light (cloudy or rainy light) and the lower the light (sunrise or sunset light); So experts have drawn up the following color temperature table:

The sun and the earth's surface present 70. = 6000。 k

The sun and the earth's surface present 60. = 5900。 K the sun and the surface present 50. = 5800。 K the sun and the surface present 40. = 57 10。 K the sun and the surface present 30. = 5540。 K the sun and the surface present 20. = 5200。 K the sun and the surface appear 15. = 4880。 K the sun and the surface present 08. = 4 120。 k

Generally speaking, the solar film is 5500. K is the normal standard color temperature.

Six principles of portrait composition!

Full-length portrait: You can emphasize beautiful body lines and dynamics, but it is not easy to show them, so it is more difficult. Sextant image: above the knee. From the knee to the face, this composition is very suitable for emphasizing dynamics. Chest circumference: above waist. Because you don't have to consider the arrangement of your feet, you can obviously capture the expression, so it's easier to handle. Chest image: above the chest. You can use hand movements to express dynamics, so busts and busts are the easiest to emphasize expressions or create an atmosphere.

Specially written: big photos (such as student ID photos). Close-up: A close-up. This composition only takes pictures of the face, so expressions, eyes and corners of the mouth are all very important points.

"Portrait exposure" element (negative)!

Portrait photography is based on people's skin color. ※.

Subtract one grid: Underexposure will lose the details of facial shadows and can't express the realism of skin.

Normal exposure: Normal exposure can show the real situation of skin. Because the picture is sharp, it shows all the facial defects, which is what most people don't want to see.

Add one grid: overexposure of half grid and one grid is the most ideal photometric standard. If the skin color of the face is slightly excessive, the skin color will look smoother and smoother, and the acne or blemishes on the face will not be shown in the photo. This is a successful portrait.

Plus two: general wedding photography is overexposed, the bright color loses saturation, and the skin color is white, which is similar to sketch composition and cannot express the realism of the skin.

The essentials of "portrait photography focusing"!

Frontal photography: focus on the eyes.

Side view: generally, the front eye is the focus, and the expression is the most natural.

There are several kinds of "portrait photography lens"!

How to use all kinds of "lenses" to choose the right subject!

Wide-angle lens: about 28m/m~35m/m is small and portable, which is the main reason why the fool camera is popular. Take a wide angle and pay attention to bending, deformation and distortion.

Focus quickly, get to know Jing Shenbiao, find out the adjustment of the focus of depth of field "aperture and distance" for quick shooting, fix the focus, and hold the moment to stay forever.

Training visual observation is sometimes faster than focusing on the eyes, and people always lose opportunities in pain.

After watching the viewing window, you should decide the composition, layout and shooting angle, grasp the best scenic spot at the moment, and press the shutter to prevent tilting and bending. In addition to the blue sky and white clouds, the sky will moderately press the camera down.

Standard lens: about 42m/m~58m/m French-born Henri cartier~Bresdson said, "When I bought the first Leica, it became an extension of my eyes".

The standard lens of 135cm camera is 42m/m ~ 58m/m; When general commodities are purchased together randomly, they are mostly 50m/m/m..

Medium-long lens: about 75m/m~ 105m/m is suitable for close-up, and the figure is generally portrait, without oppressive feeling, presenting natural images.

Taking a snapshot of the street, the subject did not feel the pressure of being photographed. Moderate size and easy to carry. Highlighting the theme and using a large aperture can simplify the clutter around and get a concise picture. Generally, when f4~f5.6 is used, stereoscopic images can be fully presented and the best light and shadow state can be fully displayed.

Telescope head: about 300m/m ~1200m/m.

Suitable for sports activities, bird and animal ecology and astrology. ......

The physical performance is huge, and it is laborious to carry, so it must be mounted on a tripod to shoot.

Not suitable for portrait photography, the oppressive feeling is flat and twisted face.

The depth of field is very shallow, the focus must be accurate, and the aperture is narrowed, f 16, f22, f32. .....

Zoom lens: Zoom lens integrates the advantages of various focal length lenses into one mirror, but its functional quality cannot replace the characteristics and advantages of fixed focal length lenses, but it doesn't matter if it is necessary for various factors or emergencies! After all, beautiful light shadow and real image transmission are the ultimate goal of photography.
