What should I pay attention to when shooting on location?

In the spring of March, spring blossoms, which is a good time to go out for photography! For photographers, this kind of fresh photos of forest women is irresistible to most people. Most of the pictures are sweet and lovely MM, and the composition, light and color are more eye-catching, and MM is particularly beautiful. Here are some things that I carefully recommend for you to pay attention to in location shooting, hoping to help you.

Tips for location shooting 1. Before makeup:

Early makeup modeling and shooting are essential elements, and many details need to be paid attention to. Let's talk about the grasp of each link in detail.

1 Fresh and natural style is very important. Clothing should choose fresh and bright colors. Pink, pink, blue and light yellow green can all be matched, and white is of course the best. Too bright colors are not suitable, such as red and purple clothes, and a large area of black and gray can't shoot a fresh style.

The overall collocation is mainly harmonious and refreshing, preferably short sleeves+short skirts or shorts, which can expose more skin and bring more space for later repair. Special reminder is that girls wearing high heels are more likely to show beautiful curves. Hats of different colors and styles are also good accessories.

3 The makeup should be fresh and elegant, not too thick, the foundation should not be too thick, the blush should not be too red, and the eye shadow should be matched with pink or natural color; Eyeliner should not be too deep, and lip gloss should be bright and transparent. Modeling is mainly pure and lovely, too sexy to be suitable. Straight hair looks purer and curly hair looks cuter, depending on the characteristics of the model.

Second, the light grasp:

You can use relatively flat light, generally without artificial light source. It is usually not recommended to shoot in direct sunlight, otherwise the light ratio will be too large and there will be many shadows on your face. It is best to shoot in the shade without direct sunlight. If the reflector is used to supplement the light of the subject, it is suggested to use a slow reflection reflector with a textured surface, so that the reflected light is softer and more uniform.

Third, the environmental choice:

This kind of film usually focuses on location, because it can shoot the scenery of nature, and the characters can best reflect the sweetness of nature in the forces of nature. Everyone's best choice is a park with flowers and plants, which is easier to find. There are plants, green grass and more likely water in the park. You can also choose a university campus, beautiful streets or ancient buildings.

The best elements are plants with a green background or various flowers. Of course, different seasons have different scenery. When all kinds of flowers are in full bloom in spring, the colors are very rich. To seize this opportunity, not to mention summer, is to avoid shooting at noon when the radiation is too strong, usually after 3 o'clock.

Fourth, the lens selection:

In order to make the photos transparent, the lens suggests that you use a fixed-focus lens with a large aperture. If you are just getting started shooting, 85mm/ 1.8 lens is the best cost-effective choice for you to buy Canon products. If it is 85mm/ 1.2, it is a red bull's head. This fixed-focus lens is also very expensive. Remember to add one if you have more money. Have a fixed focus. Because you want to take photos from other angles, such as handstand, you need a zoom lens, such as 24-70mm or 24-105 mm.

V. Other shooting precautions:

1 metering mode: What I want to remind you here is the choice of metering mode when shooting. Generally speaking, there are a few metering methods, such as average metering, central area metering, and center button metering. Relatively speaking, the central focus metering and average metering modes are more suitable for most shooting environments.

2 photo underexposure: the dark environment in the depths of the forest can easily lead to underexposure of the photos taken. Usually, we will use photoshop to brighten them later, but this will do great harm to the image quality. The reason why this kind of photo is beautiful is that MM usually shoots very white and the picture is very bright, so you can add 3/ 1-3/2 exposure compensation when shooting, so it is easy to shoot beautiful pictures later.

In terms of composition/post-tone composition, since it is fresh, you have to choose clear, elegant and concise drawings to compose the composition. The composition needs to be prioritized. I generally emphasize simplicity, but there is a central point (this should be defined according to the purpose of composition, and it needs personal accumulated visual concepts to grasp). I think I'm still groping. For this kind of subject, I prefer to shoot something thoughtful and spiritual.

In the later stage, I usually adjust the optional colors in PS, choose the appropriate picture tone, pull out the layer, and give the picture a three-dimensional sense. Then the adjustment of the curve: the curve is mainly about the brightness and transparency of the picture, which varies from person to person and can be properly grasped.

Tips for creating an atmosphere: When taking such photos, you usually find the light first. The backlight around 5 o'clock in early summer can make the whole environment orange, which is very helpful for shaping the overall atmosphere. Secondly, the performance of the model, my photos are generally quiet, so I hope the model can show a feeling of speaking silently and integrating into the environment. As for composition, if you want to make the atmosphere quiet, you should use oblique composition less. In fact, if the composition is horizontal, I like to put the model in the middle. Finally, the lens is suggested to be shot with a focal length of 28 to 35, so that the photo structure will be simpler and there will be more interaction between people and the environment.

Props: set the style in the early stage, and then buy the preparation props:

Balloons, water bubbles played by children, and small bicycles will all add fresh breath. Some props can better run through the whole movie and increase the plot, so the role of props will make your movie icing on the cake.

Combined with props, it is generally necessary to interact with models when shooting, so that they can forget that they are shooting, but playing, and show their lively, lovely and natural side. Maybe everyone has a natural and naive side, so when shooting, they usually chat with models and play with props, which will make shooting natural and interesting.

Looking for fun, freshness and evil in the forest;
