How to practice shooting perfect portrait photography

Using calendering technology means that when we shoot in the sun, there is plenty of sunshine. At this time, we can set the camera to M mode, reduce the height of the background by speeding up the shutter, and then illuminate the people (foreground) with powerful flash or external light, so that not only the background is rich in color, but also the people will stand out like "light".

Try the effect of "off-plane flash" "off-plane flash" is a very profound knowledge, and it also needs some skills in terms of distance, angle and flash output. Beginners should practice more and try more. ? Multi-angle transposition beat

When looking for a non-line-of-sight angle to take a landscape photo, we often say that we should look for a special angle to make the photo more varied. In fact, people are also like this. Don't just shoot at eye level, try shooting from high, low and side, so that the same model will bring different feelings.

Wide-angle: Not only can you "take people by scenery", so that the model has an immersive effect, but the wide-angle lens also has the element of lens deformation, which can make the model more slender, but you must control it carefully to avoid taking photos too strangely!

Telefocus: it can compress the background and reduce the sense of space between the background and the characters; Because the lens is far away from the M-shape, models who are not used to shooting will also look more natural. Of course, telephoto can also make it easier to shoot shallow depth of field.

Standard focal length: If the standard focal length is 50mm, you can shoot more "realistic and natural" works. If you use a fixed-focus lens, the lens deformation will be smaller, and the focal length will not be too long or too short, which is very suitable for street shooting or when it is inconvenient to change mirrors. This is the most basic and the most difficult.
