It's ok to shoot scenery, but it's not good for people. Please give me some advice on how to take good photos.

Let's not talk nonsense. I like taking portraits and thinking about them. Don't criticize the poor writing, and I don't want to be a family.

1: First of all, know how to use light.

What kind of light is the best light to shoot portraits?

A friend gave me such a metaphor, which made me feel suddenly enlightened: imagine a person coming out of a big house (bungalow) with no lights inside and sunshine outside but not directly shining on the door (that is, the front of the house is in the shadow). When this person is two or three steps away from the door, if you shoot most of his body outside the door, then the light at this time is perfect.

What is the reason? The sunshine outside the door is really indirect, and it is evenly sprinkled on the front of the character from the gate, which is equivalent to a huge light box projecting light; There is no light behind the figure, so the background of the photo (which must be measured near the face at this time) is almost completely black (because the light ratio between the main figure and the background is very large), which can best highlight the main body at this time; Especially at this time, because the human eye is staring at the outside, there will be bright eyes inside.

This is a foundation of portrait lamp, that is, you should understand that a good portrait lamp has such characteristics: the main light source is big, bright and soft; The background is generally dark, which can highlight the main body; Vision is very important and indispensable.

The principle of indoor and outdoor shooting is the same.

Indoor lighting is flexible, and the position and intensity of lighting can be adjusted as needed. In some photo studios, even a very large (for example, 2X2 meters) light box is used as the main light source to shoot portraits, so as to obtain a wide range of bright and soft lighting effects.

Running outdoors is a bit annoying because there is no way to adjust it manually. But you should choose the scene according to the above principles. That is, the background should be dark, the characters should stand in the shadow (don't stand under the tree, the leaves leak light), and their faces should face the bright place. It is sometimes difficult to find a dark background outdoors, so a reflector is needed. The reflector can improve the brightness of the subject, which is equivalent to reducing the brightness of the background-of course, you can't "expose" people's faces with the reflector. In addition, the reflector also has the function of eliminating the "yin and yang face" and improving the layering of optical fiber, so the reflector is an essential prop for outdoor portrait photography.

Astigmatic lights are also good props for portrait photography. The use of astigmatism lamps should also follow the principle of large area, brightness and softness. For example, using a soft mask can make the optical fiber softer, the astigmatism lamp can't directly hit the face, and using a reflective umbrella can expand the area.

Look at the white cloth behind you. Do you understand its purpose? ?
