Skills to teach you how to use a camera.

Human photography pays attention to curves, which are natural curves. If you can't reflect the natural curves in portrait photography, you can try to make some curves and polylines manually. For example, if you can bend your body, it may be effective; Knees, fingers, waist and neck are all movable joints. Try different combinations. Diagonal and diagonal composition of portraits can greatly increase the vitality of photos if they are well used in portrait photography. The main contribution of diagonal to photos is to bring dynamic factors, so it is not suitable for conventional photos.

The idea at that time was to use diagonal composition. Diagonal composition of bust Diagonal composition of bust, when your model is not good at posing, or has no good figure, or has no good clothes, or has no good background, you can't say that the model is unqualified, hehe, the photographer still has work to do. At this time, big heads and busts are the first choice. As long as you use diagonal composition flexibly, you will find that clothing, background and even figure are secondary. When taking color portraits, we must make the background excellent and concise, so as not to steal the shot, especially the bust and full-length portraits. I'm not saying that the model is not important. Beautiful models and photographers earn a lot of money, hehe. ) The diagonal composition of the bust is simple with a white background. The color of the model's clothes is also very simple, and the posture is simpler. If there is no pure white background, you can use white or light-colored sheets instead, and then use a flash to hit the background. The background exposure is 2 steps larger than the figure. Bust I mean the movie where the model is shot from waist to knee. At this time, most of the models' bodies, especially their hands, were made in films. Like the bust, the key is how to set the hands of the model. Hands and arms have many postures. You can bend your hair in front, or touch your hair and straddle your waist. In many poses, the model puts his hand on his thigh (at this time, the model had better look at the photographer), or bends down to touch his calf (at this time, the model had better look at his calf). You can also borrow props, such as solar static electricity, hats, handbags, etc. to help models pose. Diagonal composition of bust This film is a diagonal composition of bust, and the model's hand is on her lap. Of course, the clothes at this time must be more avant-garde. This is no longer portrait photography, but fashion/charm. The film was shot in an underground parking lot where the temperature is only about 0 degrees in winter, so the model's expression and posture can easily achieve the effect required by the photographer. The color of clothes is in harmony with the simple background and the photographer's concept. Black and white charm/eroticism is like charm. Now that we're talking about charm, let's talk more about it. The common means in Charm are diagonal composition and low angle. As mentioned earlier, diagonal composition gives people the feeling of restlessness, while low angle gives people the feeling of voyeurism, which is said to be the killer of charm and even eroticism. The film downstairs is a low-angle oblique home. Another feature of low-angle portraits is that they can avoid unnecessary things on the ground and make the composition simple (this is one of the three major subjects in new york textbooks), and another feature is that they can construct a diagonal line by using lines in the background. This is especially useful for black and white charm/fashion. Black-and-white glamour/erotic portrait, black-and-white film's background need not be simple, on the contrary, we should make good use of the smiles and lines in the background. Similarly, form a diagonal line with lines in the background. Or use the corner. The wide-angle lens exaggerates the obscenity, voyeurism and even pornography in the film (I don't think it is appropriate to translate it directly into pornography). Photographer kenn's works are right-angled portraits with high-angle diagonal and high-angle diagonal. Hehe, these examples I cited are actually to simplify the model's work through composition, that is, the pose of the model is very simple. This photo was taken with a 50 mm head at a high angle to the crural line. Unfortunately, the color temperature is wrong, and the glasses on the model's head are redundant. A portrait with a large bust and a high diagonal angle with a straight front angle refers to a film that is shot near the model's knees but does not need diagonal composition. As mentioned earlier, diagonal lines are suitable for restless movies. If you photograph your girlfriend, she will definitely want to be a lady. Hehe, this is a good solution: a chest with a straight front corner. In addition to the pose of the model, the background is the most difficult to control for big breasts with straight front corners. If you use colors, you must make the background simple. If you want to read negative textbooks, please go to the portrait pages of several comment forums, and more than half of them are about this issue. The solution is to use a simple background besides blurring the effect as much as possible. For example, simple color walls. If you shoot good friends, there is no way, because they definitely want to shoot in colorful garden parks. Hehe, the film that comes out must have a lot of background. You'd better find yourself a model who can listen to your command.
