Course of human photography shooting skills

The course of human photography technology is as follows:

First, the close-up performance of the body parts of the characters

Close-up is one of the favorite shooting methods of many portrait photographers. Although it seems simple to take close-ups, there are many ways to choose composition and portrait parts. For example, the common close-up shooting method is to shoot people's faces, mainly showing eyes and lips. In addition, you can also focus on other parts of the portrait, such as hands, feet, legs, hips and other positions. Obviously, the close-up part will bring a different atmosphere to the picture.

Nowadays, hand models, foot models, leg models and chest models often appear in commercial portrait advertisements. When shooting these models, the most common scene is close-up.

Second, use the infectious background to create beautiful pictures.

Simple background can make people stand out in the picture, but the picture lacks story and can't explain the surrounding environment of the characters in the picture well, so it is only suitable for shooting portrait works. If you want to make the picture more readable, you should choose the background according to the shooting intention or the characteristics of the subject. You can try to choose the scenery or beautiful content environment as the background to enrich and enrich the picture. ?

This is especially important when shooting portraits with wide-angle lenses, so wide-angle lenses will be integrated into more picture environments, so the choice of background is more important. In addition, we should also pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of the position of the characters in the picture, in order to get photos with aesthetic feeling and outstanding characteristics of the characters.

Third, choose a large aperture to get a shallow depth of field.

As mentioned above, the larger the aperture (such as f/ 1.8, f/2.4), the smaller the aperture value and the smaller the depth of field. The smaller the aperture (such as f/ 18, f/22), the larger the aperture value and the greater the depth of field. If you want to get a photo with a shallow depth of field, you should first consider shooting with a large aperture. Large aperture plays a very important role in portrait photography and artistic photography of human body, which can obtain the beautiful blur effect of shallow depth of field and help us to ensure higher shutter speed in the case of poor ambient light.

Fourthly, a shallow depth of field close to the subject is obtained.

The easiest way to get a shallow depth of field and blur the background is to put the camera close to the model when the distance between the model and the background is constant, so that the effect of shallow depth of field can be easily obtained, the characters are more prominent and the background is naturally blurred. When shooting, we should pay attention to the fact that the foreground can't be a messy scene, because the foreground will be clearer in the picture when the camera is close to the model.

5. Keep the background away from the subject to get a shallow depth of field.

The easiest way to get a shallow depth of field and blur the background is to put the camera close to the model when the distance between the model and the background is constant, so that the effect of shallow depth of field can be easily obtained, the characters are more prominent and the background is naturally blurred. ?

When shooting, we should pay attention to the fact that the foreground can't be a messy scene, because the foreground will be clearer in the picture when the camera is close to the model. Changing the distance between the model and the background is also one of the methods to obtain shallow depth of field. Arranging the model at a certain distance from the background (not necessarily close to the model) can also achieve a perfect shallow depth of field effect. Simply put, the farther away the model is from the background, the easier it is to form a shallow depth of field, from which a greater blur effect can be obtained.
