How to take a portrait of a girl with a flower wall in the afternoon

Lead: In the spring afternoon, do you take girls to enjoy the long-lost sunshine among the flowers? This kind of environment can naturally shoot a quiet and beautiful girl's fresh posture, but in this light, there are also lighting skills that need attention before you can play games with the sun.

Perfect combination of girls and the environment.

Taking fresh photos of girls in front of the flower wall, the most fundamental thing is not to let the flowers steal the glory of girls, and at the same time, don't let the flowers become a simple background, and combine the environment to create an atmosphere of flowers.

Big aperture, action highlights people.

The whole flower wall in the shooting will produce more colors in the picture, and a wide range of flowers may dominate the scene in color. At this time, it is suggested that the camera should use F2-F2.8 for large aperture, and blur the large color of Jiao Wai with depth of field, which can effectively reduce the influence of color on people. At the same time, under the condition of high light ratio of backlight or backlight in the afternoon, it is suggested to use spot metering to measure girls' faces. In addition, in order to achieve the backlight effect, you can choose to increase the exposure value of 1EV- 1/3EV in the camera settings, which can lighten the color of Jiao Wai. At the same time, let girls participate in the interaction with flowers, touch flowers, smell flowers, and enhance the relationship between scenery and subject.

In addition to the interaction between girls and flowers in the picture, the depth of the flower wall is also used to make the whole flower wall a diagonal line in the picture, highlighting the main body of the picture and extending the whole picture visually.

When shooting, the fresh girl is integrated into the sea of flowers by using the sparse and dense flower walls.

The flower wall that looks patchy on the surface will actually have gaps. This is just a great convenience to adapt to the painted wall portrait. The gap will not affect the picture, but it will be the starting point for girls to have a relationship with flowers. We suggest that girls stand in the sparse part of the flower wall, which will integrate the whole person into the flower wall.

Solve the problem of high light ratio in afternoon top light shooting

Although the afternoon sunshine can bring fresh space to the picture, at the same time, the top light will also bring bright and dark light. It is not a problem to avoid the light reasonably and fill the light appropriately as the top light.

Clever shooting and proper light avoidance

An obvious feature of afternoon light is that it shines directly from the top of the head, which will also cause a large light ratio to the whole shooting environment. Direct light will cause too much contrast between light and shade on girls' faces. But when shooting outdoors, there is no good way to directly solve such a thorny problem. At this point, we suggest? Don't collide with direct light with large light ratio! ?

Choosing a place completely away from light and avoiding the top light can solve the problem of mottled shadows on the face caused by high light compared with light. The large flower wall is not only a natural flower background, but also a strong natural dividing line between light and shadow, which makes the shooting scene choose under the shade or flower wall and the light is blocked by objects. Let the girl crouch in the shadow under the flower wall, which can completely eliminate the influence of outdoor high light ratio brought by the top light. Objects block light when necessary. Let the girl crouch in the shadow under the flower wall, which can completely eliminate the influence of outdoor high light ratio brought by the top light.

In the case of large light ratio, let girls be completely? Hide? It can solve the problem very effectively in the shadow. But it is also necessary to adjust the shooting position properly. If you shoot parallel to the girls, the relationship between the wall and the girls will not be obvious, and you will lose the sense of interaction.

In the afternoon, the top light will bring clear highlights and shadows. Let the light on the girl's face become mottled, avoiding light and properly filling light are the magic weapons for shooting at this time.

Appropriate supplementary light is performed through the reflector.

If the afternoon light is directly above the girl's head, you can consider changing the shooting angle to let the light shine from the back of the girl's head. Over time, the light angle will become smaller and become a complete backlight. The use of reflector can not only create a fresh backlight effect on the screen, but also give proper fill light on the front. It is recommended to use a small reflector to shine on girls' faces. The light reflected by the silver surface of the reflector is soft. If the soft light on the silver surface is not enough to remove the shadow on the girl's face with high light ratio, it is suggested to use a gold reflector with strong reflection, which will have a good reflection effect.

Seize the girl's lively moment

1. Let the girls look back, face the camera and use the continuous shooting function of the camera to shoot the most natural moment. You can try many times, not only to find the perfect moment, but also to enliven the shooting atmosphere in the attempt.

2. Let the girl interact with the camera and pose with flowers at will. Covering your eyes with flowers as in the picture can not only make the girl and the elements of flowers naturally combine, but also show the playful character of the girl in the picture and make the picture full of emotion.
