Portrait composition skills

Portraits of photographers usually use background paper or background cloth behind the subject as the background, or a wall as the background, or even the sky as the background. This background is a simple plane, which we call an empty scene. The empty scenery is the simplest background, which can highlight the main characters to the maximum extent. Aerial photography has strong adaptability and can be used to shoot all kinds of people.

When we encounter a messy background, we usually use a telephoto lens and a large aperture to control the depth of field to blur the background. A blurred background is called a virtual scene. Virtual scenes can also better highlight the main characters, which are more hierarchical and have more environmental characteristics than empty scenes.

2. Real scenes

The real scene refers to the environment within the depth of field or the environment without complete blur. The real scene is not a simple plane, but a scene with a sense of depth and space. It is an important part of the picture, which plays an important role in highlighting the main characters and enriching the connotation of photographic works.

Real scenes can explain the time, place and geographical environment of the characters, help to show the activities and events that the characters are engaged in, and are indispensable conditions for news photography and documentary characters.
