Indoor portrait photography skills

Lead: Indoor portrait photography is probably the easiest compared with other photographic works. In fact, creating a truly excellent portrait photography requires as much skill as landscape photography or wildlife works. A truly successful indoor photography requires a comprehensive grasp of all the details and elements inside and outside the picture. In fact, it is not difficult to take such a photo. The key lies in the transposition of the photographer's thinking. The following introduces indoor photography skills from several aspects.

First of all, we should start with composition.

Everyone, like a photographer, has to face the challenge of dealing with the details of the subject, such as posture, light, composition and so on. If you have perfect posture and light, but your composition is a failure, what could be worse?

1. The change of subjects' attitude

The creative composition in portrait photography depends not only on the combination of picture elements when the photographer takes pictures, but also on the change of model posture.

2. You can put the subject on the edge of the picture.

There is no fixed composition, and the classical composition rule is to put the subject at the four intersections of the trisection. But composition, after all, serves the theme of the photo. When photos want to convey special emotions and artistic conception, the arrangement of subject position is changeable.

You can use the foreground as the cover.

The foreground is not just a balanced picture. In addition to setting off the characters, sometimes special treatment can be carried out to create unconventional performance effects.

This application of foreground ignores its own characteristics, and the shooting can be blurred, which can better represent the characters.

Highlight the subject's eyes

Portrait photography is forbidden to cut characters, especially their faces, because improper cutting will destroy the integrity of the characters and make the beauty of the characters in the picture lose.

However, if the photographer can make good use of the cutting method and framing range of the picture when framing and composing, he can still express the eyes and eyes of the characters through their faces. Although the face of the character is not complete in the painting, the beautiful appearance and fresh temperament of the character have been well displayed. Especially the eyes of the characters in the picture are unforgettable, and the performance effect has been enhanced unprecedentedly.

5. Highlight the subject's emotion by cutting.

In portrait photography, we should carefully cut people's faces and bodies. However, some photographers cut into the face and body of the characters from the central axis, which destroyed the integrity of the characters and strengthened the expression of their emotions in the picture.

The eyes of the characters are located at the edge of the picture, and there is no room for the picture in the line of sight. This kind of expression technique breaks the tradition that characters leave blank space in sight. Composition serves the theme of the photo. When a photographer wants people to express a special emotion, such as loss. When you are depressed or depressed, you can use a composition method that is contrary to the traditional theory, such as not reserving any extra space in the line of sight.

Second, the means of expression is also very important.

1. Don't take close-ups for close-ups.

Many photographers' understanding of close-ups is limited to grasping the scenery. Jingbie is a kind of lens language, and it is a form of expression that carries the theme content. The blind pursuit of formal visual impact is only an external image, and it is inevitable to fall into a stereotype. Artistic works pursue the unity of form and connotation, but the presentation of content is often circuitous, implicit and meaningful, which is not easy to interpret.

Stories outside the lens are sometimes more attractive than those inside the lens, because invisible places can stimulate people's infinite imagination more. So don't be obsessed with patting the face, patting the lower body, individual parts and so on, it can be more interesting and stylish.

Glare is also an art.

Light and shadow have always been the most important element in photography. What will happen if you put it on your face?

In traditional portrait photography, glare is a taboo, because it will destroy the concise and clear effect of the picture. However, in the performance of hazy and other aesthetic images, the effective use of glare will play a good role in rendering the images.

Foggy glare makes the picture more hazy and the aesthetic theme is more in-depth. In specific shooting, we usually choose to shoot in the back light. In addition, removing the hood will make the glare effect more obvious.

Make full use of props

Make your photos more attractive through interesting props.

Be careful, it may be taken by others, but you can give your photos an extra perspective, so that you will have a more three-dimensional sense and a more story.
