How to take a portrait of a girl with an average figure?

Lead: In daily life, more and more girls don't have the enchanting posture, amazing eyes or dancing of models. They can make sexy or difficult moves. They are average in shape or appearance, but they still want to be beautiful. I am also such a girl, my photography skills are very general, but I really want to leave a beautiful moment for my friends with my camera. But it's really hard to shoot. I don't know how to make everyone look good. It's better to film those pouting scissors hands.

How to take a portrait of a girl with an average figure? I try to collect some beautiful photos so that everyone can imitate the pose of the model and I will imitate the composition of the author. But I find it difficult to pose those shapes, especially the eyes and face, which are all hard injuries. So will anyone take a good look at ordinary girls? What should photographers and subjects do?

The first thing to understand is that photography is a visual art, so many principles must be made clear before. There are many criteria for evaluating a photo. I read a book once that photo editors in Washington Post have some criteria for evaluating photos. The first level is to define people's time and place, the second level is visual impact, the third level is emotion, and the fourth level is to make people immersive.

Some of my photographer friends scoff at this standard and think it is too dogmatic, but if you don't know anything about how to evaluate the quality of photos, I think this standard is very worthy of reference.

Generally speaking, many girls are not attractive (male) because of their face and figure, so the photos taken are usually much weaker in visual impact. Everyone knows this, but they don't want to say it or admit it. But if you want to shoot such a girl, I think it is very important to eliminate randomness and control the focus of attention.

In other words, if there are really no dead ends in all directions, it is better to take some close-ups of the environment, wrists and ankles, but these are tips. This paper mainly talks about environmental portraits.

Let me explain what eliminating randomness is. When you first see a photo, your eyes will first be attracted by the most visually striking part of the photo. A good photo, no matter what kind of person and under what circumstances, can make it possible to see that at first sight.

For most people, this point is generally the face and figure. But girls are not good-looking, or fat, what should I do? In other words, how to control the focus of attention and make people pay less attention to girls? Not good enough? Where is it?

I think there are two ways, the first is to control the environment, and the second is to control the makeup.

Let's talk separately.

How to make the environment attract your attention?

First, use the environment

1, use an extension cable

It seems that people will still like the composition of this photo. After noticing the lines of the dining table, people will begin to pay attention to props, hats, fake flowers, newspapers and so on placed in front of the model. If you look at the model after seeing these scenes, you won't be so picky about the model's face and figure.

2. Use a specific eye-catching environment to shoot.

This photo should not only attract attention in the environment, but also pay attention to the body language of the model's bow and fingers, which is also an important part, which will be mentioned later. Everyone knows that movements will make people look at their hands more, but their heads will look smaller.

3. Backlight. What strange light? It's beautiful if used well.

4. A working environment with a sense of substitution

Many people say that hard-working men are the most handsome, but in fact hard-working women are also the most attractive to men.

Second, the model makeup

I think the content of makeup is ok. It can be divided into the following points: the first is the props and clothing of the model, the second is the body language of the model, and the third is the expression and emotion of the model.

Let's talk about it separately.

1, props and costumes of models

Appropriate props and clothes can focus people's attention on your props or clothes. Appropriate props or costumes can create a specific atmosphere. In this atmosphere, the model will have a specific temperament.

The most typical:

Gypsies are like killing Matt in Europe, but when you see them, you can't help but look at her dress and hairstyle, although she is beautiful, haha.

Don't grab the blonde mirror in this photo.

2, the model's expression and mood

Manners and emotions are the most interesting things. Women have countless postures. If what she shows you is cute or charming, then the photos taken at this time are easy to produce good photos. Of course, this also tests the basic skills of photographers.

Don't be too cute, girl!

This photo was captured by accident. Please tell me that with such a bright smile, you won't care so much about that little enrichment.

This one, too. A confident woman will look good when taking pictures ~

Next, I present three lovely photos of Meng Wa:

? Of course, Mengwa's costumes and props are also of great learning value! Don't care too much about the cuckold or something ~

Is this girl's face particularly cute? In fact, she pouted ~ of course, the environment is also great.

Finally, if you can't do all this, take a picture of the back.

A few meters ago, there was a picture with the caption: If I don't know how to draw a person, then I will draw the back.

Well, that's all the examples. I didn't write the content of body language, because this content is what I intend to write specifically in other answers. In fact, if you look closely, you should be able to see a lot of classic body language. Please go back to the top and watch this again. You will have a new experience.

To sum up, if you want to take photos of girls whose faces or bodies are not so attractive, you need to create eye-catching spots, control the audience's line of sight, and foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. In order to achieve this goal, the photographer should choose the right scene, while the model should choose the right clothes and props, and have a natural relaxation or unique expression and mood, body language and so on. Just listen to me and teach you ~

By the way, if you want a model to have good body language, good manners and good mood, it depends on the basic skills of the photographer, you know.
