How does the photographer pose?

How should photographers teach new people to pose?

1. The head and body should not be in a straight line. If the two are in a straight line, it will inevitably feel dull. Therefore, when the body is facing the camera, the head should turn slightly to the left or right, and the photo will look elegant and vivid; Similarly, when the subject's eyes look directly at the lens, turning his body to a certain angle will make the picture look vivid and dynamic, and increase the three-dimensional sense.

2. Arms and legs should not be parallel. No matter sitting or standing, never let his arms or legs be parallel, because it will make people feel stiff and mechanical. The correct way is to play the same song all the time or form a certain angle between them. This can not only cause movement, but also change posture.

3. Try to make the body shape curve clear. For female subjects, it is necessary to show their charming curves. The usual practice is to let one leg of the character actually support the weight of the whole body, and the other leg is slightly raised and leaned against the standing leg. The arm should be turned to show its narrowest side, and the chest should try to show its towering and plump feeling through the curve of the waist. At the same time, the character's hand can be placed on the hip to provide the necessary width for the picture.

4, sitting posture is not sleepy. Don't let the subject sit in the chair as usual when showing his sitting posture. If so, her thighs will be at rest, so that the fat part at the upper end of her legs will bulge, making her legs look thick. The correct way is to let his body go forward, sit near the chair, chest out and abdomen in order to avoid the phenomenon of drooping shoulders and protruding abdomen.

5. The lens should be far away. Generally speaking, it is better to take a long shot than to take a close shot. Because when the lens (especially the lens with short focal length) is very close to the subject, distortion will occur. Therefore, when shooting, we should choose a lens with appropriate focal length and keep a certain distance from the subject. According to practice, we know that the best distance to shoot a person's head with a standard lens should be 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters). Chest photos should be taken between 8-9 feet (2.4-2.7 meters); 13-22 feet (3.9-6.6 meters) is suitable for taking full-length portraits.

6. Show a good posture. The proportion of the subject's hand in the picture is not large, but if it is improperly placed, it will destroy the overall aesthetic feeling of the picture. Pay attention to the integrity of the hand when shooting, and don't let the hand feel deformed, broken or incomplete. If you put your hands in your hips or pockets, show some fingers to avoid giving the impression of being cut off.
