How do novices take good-looking portrait photos?

1. Use natural light: light is the key to photography. Try to use natural light and avoid using flash. When shooting outdoors, avoid direct sunlight and choose cloudy or evening shooting.

2. Choose a suitable background: the background should be concise, and don't grab the eye with the subject. At the same time, the color and texture of the background should also be coordinated with the main body.

3. Use the right angle: Try shooting from different angles to find the angle that best highlights the subject. Generally speaking, shooting at a slightly lower angle can make the characters look more stereoscopic.

4. Pay attention to composition: composition is the basis of photography. You can use the "trisection" to compose a picture, divide the picture into nine equal parts, and put the main body at the intersection, which can make the photo look more balanced.

5. Control the depth: By adjusting the aperture size (that is, the F value), you can control the depth of field of the photo. Generally speaking, using a large aperture (small F value) can blur the background and highlight the subject.

6. Pay attention to expressions and postures: Keeping models with natural expressions and postures can make them look more natural and attractive.

7. Post-processing: Through post-processing, the quality of photos can be further improved. For example, the color of photos can be improved by adjusting brightness, contrast and saturation. Change the scale of photos by cropping; Enhance the artistic effect of photos through filters.

8. Shoot more and practice more: Photography is a very practical skill. Only through continuous shooting and trying can we take satisfactory photos.
