What should a good photographer have?

What do a good photographer need? I have asked many people this question, but I got different answers. Maybe this is because different people have different opinions.

The following are some of the contents I have compiled for your reference:

A good photographer should have many conditions. From rich knowledge and insight to keen observation, diligent work and learning attitude, and enthusiasm for others. Photography itself is a visual art where thoughts and emotions intersect. The lens in the photographer's hand is just like the pen in the painter's hand, and it can accept the creative instructions of the master. As for how to stimulate the emotions hidden in the human heart to express, this is the direction that photographers should work hard.

As customers, they come to take photos to create beauty, which is the responsibility of wedding photographers. Most customers are ordinary people. You can't expect them to be perfect. There are no perfect people in the world. But at the same time, there are no ugly people in the world, and even if there are, they can be shaped into a unique image. Customers often say:? I'm not photogenic? . In fact, it's not that he is not photogenic, but that he didn't meet a good photographer, which made him lose confidence. When is a person most beautiful? But revealing the truth and essence of human nature is the most beautiful. When everyone comes to this world, his appearance is impossible to choose, but everyone will have his own truest side. According to this truth, photographers should use the cooperation of mind and light, shadow, sound and gas to shape the natural beauty of the subject's true feelings.

First, communication skills

If you want to shoot the natural beauty of human nature, you should know yourself before shooting. May I suggest that the photographer fill it out before shooting? Communication design table? . Remember, let the customer believe that you are his sincere friend. If you can't convince someone about something, that's your weakness, because you haven't found a way to convey wisdom. To communicate perfectly, you need to keep in mind the following three points:

1. Thank them for giving you advice, filling out the communication form and taking photos.

2. Respect their opinions and suggestions and make detailed records.

While agreeing with their views, I hope they can accept your suggestion.

Second, the preparation before shooting

1, first look at how many sets of clothes the customer has, what sets, and take some photos, to conceive how many feelings to take.

2. Design shooting ideas, shooting methods, composition, lighting, infer the shooting process, so as to determine all shooting contents and results.

3. Carefully observe the customer's face, figure design and shooting style.

Third, shooting guidance.

Many customers are very nervous and uncooperative when taking pictures, and they can't enter the state for a long time. Why?

1, the action is not suitable for customers when shooting. We suggest the photographer pose by himself, so as to capture your feelings.

There are generally two kinds of guests: arrogant and introverted.

Arrogant status and taste may be higher (mostly at the top). The reason is that they don't trust photographers completely, so they must not be too polite to such guest photographers. First of all, when you first enter the studio, you should be greeted by an assistant. The photographer will be quiet, give him higher momentum, work for the assistant, and let him feel the authority of the photographer. After everything is ready, the photographer should pose with double goodwill and enthusiasm. Before each shoot, make the guests laugh with very humorous language. After a group of shots, continue to talk about encouraging words such as hard work, good performance, excellent play, continuous play and continuous efforts. , sent by the assistant. The photographer will then restore his arrogance and make customers think that this is really a master. It is to increase my trust in you and cooperate more in future shooting.

Restricted guests may have a lower level (mostly a lower level). The reason is that they are not used to this environment. Such a guest photographer should take the initiative to communicate with him, say some nonsense and relax his nervousness. According to his occupation, talk to them about topics of interest, use related topics to make them laugh when taking pictures, and be more patient. This will make it easier for them to cooperate with you when they get into the state.

Good photography will adjust the atmosphere when shooting, so that the subject can relax and not be afraid of making a fool of himself, so that the posture and facial expression will be natural.

Another point is quite important, that is, rich knowledge and association. Can quickly determine the characteristics of the subject, suitable for what kind of shooting. If you can communicate well with the model, it will be more relaxed and enjoyable to shoot. Without that strange feeling, the model will first behave more naturally and easily, and naturally become more energetic as a photographer. The premise of communicating with models is to respect them. As long as you show respect and sincerity to them, they will always be willing to take pictures for you.

An important aspect of portrait photography is to overcome the subject's usual fear of cameras and lights. To this end, you should arrange the camera equipment and lighting in advance to make the model feel relaxed as much as possible, so that you will have enough time to get to know the model before shooting, so as to reassure him. Chatting helps the model to relax and get the desired results. A portrait of nature. Excellent works should further capture the characters' expressions, draw the characters' personalities and moods at this moment, and finally produce exciting portraits. ;
