Portrait photography: where is the portrait cut?

1 there are roughly two ways to divide the scene: first, according to the proportion of the captured subject (scenery) in the frame, and the second way is to take the people as the frame of reference. That is, the scene is divided according to the proportion of characters in the picture.

photography can be divided into distant view, panoramic view, middle view, close view, Westbank > Close-up. This is distinguished according to the distance between the camera and the subject or the range of the picture taken.

(1) Foresight refers to a broad picture of distant scenery and people.

(2) Panorama refers to taking a complete picture of people and the whole scene.

(3) Mid-shot generally refers to taking a large part of people and showing the relationship between the people, which is widely used in film and television. The scene is closer. Generally speaking, taking pictures of the upper body of a character or the local area of a scene emphasizes that the facial expressions, gestures and body movements of the character play an important role in shaping the character.

(5) Close-up refers to taking pictures of the head, face, part of the human body and a certain part of the scene. This is a unique and effective photography method that emphasizes a certain part and detail in film and television.

Portrait photography can be taken from different angles and scenes. Scenery is also very common in portrait photography, and different sceneries can produce different effects

(1) Foresight sceneries are generally not used to shoot portraits, mainly because of the complexity of environmental components in the foresight picture.

(2) It is the most difficult process to shoot people with panoramic view. In order to leave enough space for the upper and lower parts of the characters, it is suggested to use a telephoto lens, and the redundant factors should be abandoned as much as possible when shooting, so that the subject can stand out and coexist harmoniously with the environment. In addition, the space allocation of this scene is also very important.

(3) The middle shot is a picture that only contains a partial range of objects. For portrait photography, it usually refers to the part above the knee. In this way, the subject is the main object, and the depiction of the environment is relatively reduced.

(4) The picture range of the close shot is smaller than that of the middle shot. When shooting portraits, it usually shows the part above the chest. The visual feature of close-range is that the scene range of the shot picture is equivalent to that seen by the photographer when facing the photographed object.

(5) Close-up This kind of scenery is often seen in film and television photography, generally based on the appearance of the person above the shoulder. In fact, the range of scenery seen at a relatively close distance is a close-up. The biggest feature of close-up is that it can reflect things very clearly, but at the same time, it will be strict in lighting, layout, tone and color. When shooting close-ups, we should pay special attention not to exceed the allowable range of lens focal length, which will lead to blurred pictures and reduce the quality of the pictures.
