How to find a portrait photography style that suits you?

Lead: in the process of learning to shoot portraits, the most common thing is that you can't find your own style, or you can't shoot your own personality. We often throw this question to photographers, but surprisingly, most photographers will tell you. In fact, I don't classify myself into any category or style. ? What should I do to find myself in portrait photography? Style? And then what? Let me tell you something.

1. Find a style from your own preferences.

When the portrait is shot to a certain extent, you will find that you seem to have broken through the existing nodes and displayed the completed photos, only to find that there are always no new tricks. For example, although glare will reduce the imaging quality, what about this? Incomplete? Is a kind of beauty, looming, is the presentation of beauty. Then, you will see a group of people chasing the backlight, how to shoot. However, is this really beautiful? Do you understand why the photographer shoots against the light? A swarm of bees is the most disgusting concept of photography. If you want to find your own style, the most important thing is to think from yourself. What's your leisure hobby? What do you like? Hate what? Introspection, a comprehensive understanding of yourself, understanding your favorite light, angle, and even color, and then produce the so-called? Style? . At least, the next time you shoot in the backlight, you can tell the reason and know why you did it. Although beauty is innate, it can definitely come from acquired training.

2. Carefully observe and scrutinize the details.

The shaping of style, besides summing up one's own preferences, is also a very important link to experience every fragment of life. Photographer Tim Wu thinks that reading thousands of books is better than taking Wan Li Road, and every trip can bring him back full creative energy. But you must want to say that I don't have a travel budget, so inspiration won't come? That's not necessarily true. When Tim is not traveling, he is a family (house) lover. He listens to a lot of music and watches foreign albums, such as Devil, Breaking Bad and Ice Storm, looking for the possibility of images from other people's creations. A truly creative photographer can turn what he sees into his own source of inspiration.

3. Browsed a lot of accumulated late logic.

We can also define our own style from the later field, but can we say it is our own style by changing the color to blue in the later period? Can playing with colors really quickly build the so-called? Style? But you can look at Japanese photographer Mika Ninagawa. Her colors are so intense and colorful that every color block has the necessity of composition. Putting the image of low low in an untimely tone will only make the photo look different. Photographer Jeff Liu believes that the first step in post-production is to keep exploring and learning. There is no need to clarify the function of post-production software. The most important thing is to browse a lot of photos and see how others took them. After reading enough, you can establish your own retouching logic and figure out the context of style.
