What are the skills of taking portrait photos?

First, use local body to render artistic conception.

When shooting portraits, you don't have to focus on the face, especially when showing some exquisite details and lonely atmosphere. Shooting close-ups of people's body parts, such as legs, arms, hair and even eyes, can achieve good rendering effects. At this time, it is more suitable to obtain a small depth of field by various means to highlight the subject to be represented.

Second, use the background/silhouette to partially render the artistic conception.

The back is also a very good way to express artistic conception. At this time, people are less or less attracted by the appearance and expression of the characters, but pay more attention to the overall feeling of the picture.

The model's line of sight can look at things inside the picture or outside the picture, forming an open composition, giving people room for imagination.

Third, use foreground to render artistic conception.

Foreground is a very important form of setting off the atmosphere of the scene. Both foreground and subject can be used as clear or fuzzy elements of the picture, which can show different artistic conception. The former pays more attention to the performance of characters in artistic conception, while the latter is more subtle, mainly rendering artistic conception with foreground elements and setting off the characters in the picture at the same time.

Fourth, use association to render artistic conception.

When people's eyes or body language guide the viewers outside the picture, it is easy to make people associate, and with the performance of the scene in the picture, it can also show colorful picture feelings.

Special attention should be paid when shooting, and there should be a certain gap in the direction of eyes or body language, so that people have room for imagination and avoid the feeling of crowding.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) renders artistic conception with blank space.

Blanking is the most common but effective method to render the artistic conception of a picture. We can enlarge the scene and put the characters in a corner of the picture, leaving other areas blank, which can give people a quiet and melancholy artistic conception.
