Third, don't let taboo gestures ruin the scenery.

When taking wedding photos on location, if you put them in the wrong place, wouldn't it be a waste of beautiful scenery and miss the beautiful photos? In order to take a satisfactory wedding photo, you must know the following five posture taboos!

1. The head and body should not be in a straight line.

The head and body are in a straight line, which will inevitably produce a dull feeling. When you look at the camera in front of your body, you should turn your head slightly to the left or right. When the couple's eyes are facing the camera, turn their bodies slightly to a certain angle, and the picture will be more stereoscopic.

2. Arms and legs should not be parallel.

? The placement of arms or legs, preferably a song or both, forms a certain angle, which is both dynamic and changeable.

3. Avoid unclear body shape curves

The best way to show the beauty of the bride's line is to let one leg support the weight of the whole body, and the other leg is slightly raised against the standing leg, and the arm should be rotated to reveal its narrowest side.

4. Don't get stuck in the chair while sitting and shooting.

When shooting while sitting, don't put your whole body on the chair. The best thing is to let your body go forward, sit next to the chair, chest out and abdomen in, and tighten your thighs.

5. Don't let go of your hands.

? 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.
