How can I take a good photo?

In fact, people who like to take pictures have their own views on taking portraits, such as where the eyes look, where the face should be turned, where the hands should be placed, and so on. It looks very experienced, but after pressing the shutter, I found that the photo is really not good-looking, and everything is not pleasing to the eye from the arrangement of characters to the choice of background. Let's talk about where these problems are, hoping to provide you with reference: 1. The characters are too small, and the environment steals the show. Since the subject of shooting is portrait, generally speaking, the proportion of portrait in the whole picture should not be too small. Usually, when we shoot portraits in our lives, we will choose a better environment, such as the lawn in the park and the fuzzy street lights in the city. At this time, we always give too much area because of the comfort of the environment, which eventually leads to the destruction of the picture in the lens. Because of the large environment and its rich information (multi-scene, multi-color and multi-line), the information of the characters is completely covered, and the characters cannot stand out, which eventually leads to the failure of the photos of the characters. Too much emphasis on the arrangement of background and composition will ignore the essence of the characters and become superficial, and the overall image and characters will not be integrated, thus losing the expression of the connotation of the characters in portrait photography, which is also incorrect. 2. People are always placed in the center of the picture. Generally beginners are used to putting the theme in the center of the picture. You can try to move the theme to the golden point or golden line of "well" composition, and develop the habit of focusing (locking) first and then re-composing. If there is no suitable background, you can try to be close to the subject, choose a simple background, and make use of the characteristics of short depth of field, such as opening a large aperture, choosing a lens with a long focal length or choosing a clean scene far away from the subject as the background, which can simplify the background and make the subject stand out.

3. When shooting people, the less ideal angle affects the presentation of the face.

When shooting people, the angle of the camera must be adjusted according to the characteristics of the face, fat and thin, shoulder width and so on. Shooting objects with different turns and angles at the same shooting point will have completely different effects. So when shooting people, you should carefully observe them from different angles, find the ideal angle and direction, and then press the shutter. When shooting people, we should first carefully observe the face, outline and shape of the people. First determine the best shooting angle, and then change the direction of the lens or let the model make fine adjustments (left or right, fine-tune the head up or down) at the same angle. It's not too late to press the shutter when the most beautiful angle of the subject is determined. So shooting people is a process of observing and judging first, and then shooting. 4. Inappropriate items affect the screen.

We are always used to the process of shooting the picture first and then judging the effect of the picture. Perhaps the popularity of digital cameras has led people to take more and more reckless pictures, but in order to take the most ideal pictures of people, we must first have the concept of "perfect picture" and be keen to remove things that destroy the picture before pressing the shutter. Some photographers always want to know why my photos always have many defects. Obviously, when I pressed the shutter, I thought everything was fine. Why do I have this problem and that defect when the photo comes out? In fact, this is a common problem of reckless photographers. We must try our best to avoid the habit of reckless photography. Every shot should carefully find the defects in the picture and use subtraction to avoid them, and try our best to find something suitable for the lens and arrange it in the picture. Only in this way can the picture be more successful every time. Fifth, there is no awareness of interactive pictures.

Although in portrait photography, full-face portraits often appear, and the sides of some subjects are beautiful, in non-documentary portrait shooting, in order to make the picture more vivid and the photos more attractive, it is often suggested that the eyes of the model in the picture can be seen by the viewer. When the photographer makes eye contact with the viewer, the photos will show more vitality. The biggest difference between figure 1 and figure 2 lies in the eye contact of the subject. The picture in 1 tends to be still, and the characters retreat to the environment and stay still. But in Figure 2, the eyes of the characters look directly at the audience and communicate with them, which makes this picture more intimate and energetic. 6. awkward position of hand

Whether it is vertical or banner, the composition is completely based on the body language presented by the current model, and pay attention to the horizontal position of the picture. Hand placement is very important when shooting people. The posture and position of the hand are usually associated with the face, waist and legs of the character. When we shoot a character, we can choose the relationship between the hand and various parts of the body according to the scene and posture of the character. But never let your hands lose contact with your body. Seven. A pillar in the middle of the picture destroyed the picture. Although there are many rules and ready-made composition patterns in figure photography, we can't regard these rules as golden rules. We can completely break through the existing composition rules and create a unique style. The most common problem in this picture is that the human head is a "long object". This problem is actually easy to avoid, as long as you carefully observe the background and foreground before pressing the shutter and adjust the position of the model slightly. Finally, before we want to create a personal style, we must have a solid basic skill, that is, we can subconsciously avoid many low-level mistakes that we shouldn't make before pressing the shutter.
