What are the construction skills of portrait photography?

1, composition of intermediate characters

The simplest and most practical composition method is simple. Just put the characters in the center of the picture when taking pictures. Simple skills can highlight the main body of the characters well, even beginners can master them well, but it is not recommended that you use them too frequently, otherwise the picture will be too boring and monotonous.

2. Diagonal composition

Don't want the picture to be too simple and monotonous, you can try diagonal composition more. Putting the characters on a diagonal line of the picture can not only make the picture more dynamic, but also lengthen the body lines of the characters and bring good visual impact. It is an essential composition method for portraits.

3, guide wire composition

If there are one or more lines in the photo, the audience's eyes are easily attracted by these linear objects, and our eyes will unconsciously shift to the subject, which will not only help you jump out of the picture, increase the depth and perspective of the photo, but also make it easy to shoot a large film.

4, triangle composition

When taking close-ups or busts, try triangle composition. For example, in the portrait photo below, the lines and outlines outlined by the arms and head are regarded as the visual center of the picture, so that a natural triangle can be formed. This composition technique can increase the stability of the picture and give people a balanced and stable visual effect.

5. Blank composition

Portrait photography does not mean that the more picture elements, the better. Proper blank space can give the picture more aesthetic feeling and comfort. When shooting, reduce the proportion of characters in the picture and enlarge the proportion of natural environment more, so that you can use blank space to better enhance the aesthetic feeling and artistic conception of the photo and bring more imagination to the audience.

6. Framework composition

Some pictures will be dull and lack a sense of hierarchy. In this case, we can use frame composition to create a three-dimensional sense and a sense of hierarchy. When shooting, we only need to let all the characters be in objects with picture attributes, so that the picture will present three levels: the inside of the picture, the picture itself and the audience's perspective, and the film will have a more sense of space.
