The whole process of emotional private portrait shooting

Lead: Private shooting is very popular recently. Next, I will bring you the whole process of private portrait shooting. Let's have a look!

First, how to integrate the model into the shooting atmosphere

Besides Jou-chi and me, a model and makeup artist, three student assistants attended the filming. This time, while taking into account the creation, I also filmed the creative tidbits quietly all the time, in order to restore the most realistic shooting scene.

In fact, I was going to shoot the location on the day of shooting, but it was raining hard that day, so I decided to open a room temporarily to shoot. I began to prepare clothes for location. Then I went home to get my underwear. Because we have worked with this model before, everyone knows it very well, so there is no obstacle to shooting and we trust each other.

Someone asked how to break the communication by shooting the outer model. In fact, the camera is the best language. Besides, some basic English assistance is enough. Everyone is here to take pictures, not to discuss current events, so there is no need to use any advanced vocabulary. At most, you can personally use action demonstrations to guide the model's posture, which is generally no problem. So in fact, in the process of shooting the outer model, it is not much different from shooting other models.

At that time, before preparing for shooting, we also teased and exchanged some ideas with each other during the makeup time, and talked a little about some happy topics, which made the shooting and shooting well warmed up and entered a relaxed shooting atmosphere.

During the interval of makeup, a group of people chatted a joke, which effectively eliminated the formality.

A little teasing, even the model made a face. Make-up artist, smile too ~ ~

Second, how to choose the right clothes

When shooting a private theme, you usually choose underwear. As for the color, you can choose one that is not easily confused with the indoor environment and has a sense of resolution. By the way, private houses don't have to have big breasts. They are so big that they even usurped the role of master. Where are the eyes of the audience?

Calculate the approximate time required, and get ready to shoot!

Third, how to choose the right room location

If you open a room in a hotel, the first consideration is the light transmittance of the room. If lighting is used to remedy it, it will weaken the sense of presence. It is best to rely on natural light. Therefore, if you want to shoot private houses with good results, you would rather pay a little money for rooms with high floors than take advantage of the rooms next door that block the ground floor, because the light environment is too far away, otherwise it will be very difficult to shoot. The second is the difference in shooting, decoration patterns, etc. You need a lot of details to help you take some environmental things and take more photos. Therefore, generally speaking, it is recommended to choose a suite with good lighting on the high floor, and a room charged by the hour for private shooting.

Fourth, continue to look for prospects.

Know how to look for prospects, so that the picture is not peaceful, otherwise the observability and interest are not strong, and the peace is too straightforward. For example, in this hotel room, gauze curtains with floral patterns were found, which is a good prospect. If the light is good, it will project a very charming light and shadow on the model through the tulle, just like adding a natural tattoo.

The distinctive gauze curtain is a very promising prospect.

Shoot the processed result map.

In addition, shooting in the bathroom with the help of a mirror is also a good angle. But this alone still lacks a sense of prospect (prospect! Prospect! )。 You can try pouring a glass of water and spraying it on the mirror, then these water drops will have a very illusory foreground effect after the lens is blurred. When shooting the image in the mirror, we should pay attention to putting the frame and other things into the composition, so as to explain the environment in front of the mirror, otherwise the picture effect is the same as direct shooting.

Left: I photographed the frame of the mirror, but there is no composition technique at all. Right: there is no difference between not shooting the frame and shooting directly, and it doesn't make any sense.

By adjusting the angle and paying attention to the composition, the mirror can become a clever prop.

Fifth, know how to take breaks.

The total shooting time is roughly a little over 3 hours. After shooting a scene, it is suggested to take a break for a few minutes, let the model have a rest, and the photographer can smoke a cigarette and adjust it slightly. Playing basketball is divided into sections, and so is taking pictures. It is impossible to say that people who have been shooting without rest, and it is hot and easy to sweat are prone to heatstroke.

In addition, during the break, you can also show the model the photos you took before, so that the model can know fairly well and continue to play. Of course, you can also put forward some ideas and continue to improve them in the next shooting.

During the break, the photographer can smoke a cigarette, and the model can look at the photos and relax a little.

Sixth, shoot from an unconventional angle.

Everyone's perspective is different, but if you can find an angle that ordinary people can't shoot, the film will naturally be different. For example, the high altitude position and even the angle that needs people's support, not everyone can shoot. Interesting angles always bring some fun, and mediocre angles make mediocre movies. Therefore, you don't have to pursue comfort too much when shooting, and you still have to pay some when you are hard. I think novices can try different seats more. Don't you dare think, aren't you afraid to shoot? Do it.

Make good use of the chairs in the room to create a favorable shooting position. In addition, students who are trying to help each other.

After shooting, the finished product is processed.

Seven, make good use of high-speed continuous shooting.

In a series of actions of shooting model pose, it is suggested to capture the best expression in the way of continuous shooting, and don't be stingy with the shutter, so as to ensure that you can turn on the camera when you get home and have photos worth releasing. In order to protect nature, after the photographer describes the general location, the model is allowed to move by herself, constantly switching expressions and actions. It is difficult to predict the next second of the model, so it is suggested to choose high-speed continuous shooting. There is always a picture you want, which will be unpredictable.

After a round of continuous shooting shooting, it is in RAW format, and the memory card is rapidly consuming memory, so don't lose the chain during the shooting for several hours, and be sure to prepare an extra backup card.

In the last shot of the bathtub scene, the memory card is suddenly full, and the role of the spare card is very valuable at this time.

Eight, respect the opinions of the model.

When shooting some scenes, the model needs to make difficult movements. For example, this time, the model needs to try to dive her head into the bathtub, but she is still not satisfied after several attempts. The water tends to flow back into her nose, resulting in imperfect facial expressions. When the model feels that she can't finish shooting, then respect her opinion and arrange the next shot.

A model can't do it. You must respect her. Everyone has his limits. Shooting on the premise of ensuring the safety of the model is the most fundamental of portrait photography. Other actions that can be completed, just abuse her and do better.

In addition, because the model only wears underwear, it is easy to catch cold in an air-conditioned environment. In order to take care of the model's feelings, we turn off all indoor air conditioners in summer. After the whole shooting, the whole group broke out in a hot sweat? However, if you can make a good film, you will live up to this sweat!

Diving is more difficult for models, and I don't try it after I know the situation.

But in the end, there are still photos that can be released. Continuous shooting's role has come out!
