How to take a good portrait photo

First of all, I am a complete amateur photographer, even if I have a little experience, I just take pictures of the scenery. There are few photos of people, so the main purpose is to chat casually and attract jade. Huang Shang, I know you are a master portrait. Don't laugh at me when you read it. The lens is very important. The lens is the source of everything. Ordinary cameras-most of those stupid digital camera lenses are not suitable for close-up faces. There is a focal point here. Simply put, enlarge your nose when you get close. Do you believe me? Is there a big difference between you in the mirror and you in the photo? Which one do you think you should trust? In fact, we should use a special portrait lens to take portraits, which can improve this problem to some extent. If the average fool and photographer are unconscious, it's best not to let him shoot to avoid disappointment-unless you are confident that you are outstanding in appearance and super photogenic. It is often said that a person can only look at art photos, not life photos, so he is not a beauty. This is a kind of prejudice. Although the artistic photos are over-made, on the other hand, they must be professional lenses of professional photographers, and the degree of facial deformation is small, unless PS is later. Ordinary life photos are taken with digital cameras, and they are often the kind of scenery photos taken here. The distant view+close shot is confusing, and the focal length doesn't know where to go, let alone the light and angle. These problems are difficult to coordinate. In the end, the characters are easily distorted-some lost to the bad guys and some lost to the good guys. So when I travel, I seldom take pictures of myself, so as not to disturb the beautiful rivers and mountains. Then again, not everyone can afford a professional camera. Most people can only shoot others and themselves with a broken camera. What do we do? The first way is to get as far away from the camera as possible and zoom to infinity-of course, the result is that there are very few people in the photo. The second method is to use the mirror skillfully. The mirror doubles the distance of light, lengthens the focal length in disguise and reduces distortion. If it is a selfie, you can also adjust the angle and expression at any time. Of course, the quality of the mirror itself must pass, it must be clean and bright enough, and it can't be a haha mirror. The mirror in the hotel is a good choice. Do you understand how I got the following photo? Another well-known problem is that the face is three-dimensional and the photo is flat, which is equivalent to pressing your face into a cake. The middle face became a big face, and the big face became a cake face. Therefore, girls are bent on thin face, and small face is king. If you can't get smaller, cover your hair with a lot of bangs. But little face is not everything. In order to avoid hitting people, I won't give specific examples. Moreover, a small face is not always beautiful in life. On the contrary, I know a beautiful woman (I won't say the specific name for fear that she will catch me), who is obviously a big-faced cat and super photogenic. The reason is that her facial features are very prominent and her outline is clear-this is the key to solving the problem! Beautiful facial features, really beautiful! Asian women's faces tend to be dull, which is of course a kind of beauty, but if there is no three-dimensional sense in front of the camera, it will be a big loss. What should we do? Of course, the first thing to consider is makeup, eye shadow, eyeliner and lip line blush. It depends on your role. But heavy make-up is troublesome and disgusting. Another trick is light, contrast between light and shade, highlighting the three-dimensional sense of the face. Many famous photographs are actually treated in this way. It is suggested that in a dark room, let soft light hit the face from a height, adjust the direction and find the best angle. Then click. How's it going? Do you feel that your eyes are deeper and your face is smaller, just like a meaningful sculpture? However, it is not recommended to make the shadow under this single light source too obvious, which will be unrealistic. After all, this is just a simple way for laymen to deal with it. If you are a professional photographer, you will use more light sources to achieve better results. Then again, if it's taken casually during a field trip, how can you ensure that the sun won't tan or whiten your face? As for picking angles and things like that, everyone knows. It seems very popular to shoot from above, but don't you find that many girls' dating video photos are like this now? This is still because of the popularity of melon seeds and small faces. Women usually look good on their left face. Weng Ziyang once told me that it is best to shoot from the top of the side. However, these are all different from person to person and need to be explored continuously. If you can notice the above, you can at least take a decent photo of yourself. If someone else takes pictures, the photographer is very important. Technology is important, but his feelings for you are more important. Sometimes it can even be said that you in his lens are what he thinks of you-especially when taking pictures. You are an old-fashioned witch in his mind, so you can't expect him to treat you as a pure loli. An excellent and emotional photographer can help you discover and express beauty that you are not aware of. Want to know if he loves you? Let him take your picture and check whether it contains friendship and understanding. Want to know if he is having an affair with that woman? Look at the photos he took for her. If he focuses on a neck and chest hidden under his hair, or shoulders and arms behind his back-this is his subconscious emotion. The camera won't lie, just see if you find your eyes. After this analysis, I became a detective. ) finally, there is PS. PS photo is a disdainful practice, whether it is a landscape photo or a person photo. So if you can handle the technology of the original film, try to minimize the PS. In addition, PS also has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as black and white, adjusting color saturation, contrast, blur, halo and so on. These can turn decay into magic. After a mediocre photo is stylized, it highlights the character temperament and momentum, and whether the face looks good or not. Also reduce the fat on the stomach and lengthen the calf. It's best not to PS face, that's really the worst policy. You know, there are so many muscles on people's faces that I can't recite them. The natural expression at any moment is extremely subtle. Your liquefaction circle is not that thin, it will move your whole body. Any PS face will make people feel stiff and unnatural-especially acquaintances, who can see flaws at a glance. Maybe people will rumor that you have plastic surgery. Isn't this interesting? But in the final analysis, this kind of thing, photos, is just a dream. Look at a person, that is, he is standing in front of you alive, and you may not be able to see his truth. And when you finally fall in love with someone, what his face looks like is probably a completely different concept. I have written so much, on the one hand, to exchange experiences, and on the deeper level, I want to educate some Zheng Tairen-why Zheng Tai? Because men are visual animals-don't be fooled by those simple techniques. I was stunned when I saw one or two fuzzy video photos, and I was fascinated when I saw one or two PS selfies that were not human. As a result, women who are popular these days are like the waves behind the Yangtze River. Wait until you meet the living, and then talk about disappointment. You deserve it. Who wants you to believe it? I told you that sex is empty.
