Detailed explanation of several techniques of portrait photography composition

I divide the composition of portrait photography into: standard image, bust, close-up, big whole body, small whole body and partial.

1, standard image

What is a standard image? Under the lens, the upper arm of the bean is cut, that is, the chest is up and down, the head is horizontal or on the upper side of the picture. In such a composition, Madou often looks thinner and has a soft posture. The figure and face are clearly explained, and Madou will not feel insecure because he pays too much attention to the face or figure. It is a good choice recommended to novices.

First, the side face standard image

This is the simplest and easiest posture to use, and it is also the easiest posture for Madou to pose. Ma dou can become a slim beauty with a small face by turning over and turning around. It's really not difficult to stand or sit sideways in front of the camera and then turn to look at the photographer.

B, a standard face image

This is still no difficulty. Try not to cut the lower part of the picture at the elbow of Madou. Madou's head is on the upper side of the picture, usually a clear and comfortable portrait.

C, body side standard image and side standard image

Side face series are all developed for beans with beautiful side face curves.

After mastering these changes in standard photography, novices have mastered most of the tricks of portrait photography, and with the expressions and props of Madou, they can change a lot of creativity. It also laid a good foundation for other postures. Then, ask the photographer to look at his feet and take a step back. Let's have a bust.

2. Chest

Remember the standard incision in the upper arm and chest? Busts are usually cut on forearms and buttocks. Compared with the standard image, the bust shows the figure better and weakens the face. The biggest difference is that the bust will show the waist. Therefore, if your girlfriend has an extraordinary figure, especially a charming waistline, bust is also a good choice.

I repeat here, please learn to use the transformation of side body and side face to enlarge the advantages like a standard drawing.

3. Close-up shot

Back to the starting point of the standard image, please step forward and let's have a close-up Cut to the shoulder, we have a close-up.

Why do you want to take a standard image first, instead of taking a close-up at the beginning? Because of this close-up of the face, Madou often feels a little unsafe and unnatural. After the portrait shooting, the madou people are used to the camera, and their expressions will be more natural and soft. This is the best time to take close-ups.

A close-up of the face

It is a way to test the facial features and face shape of Phaseolus vulgaris. Please show some shoulders at the bottom of the picture and leave some space at the top, otherwise it is a bit like a screenshot.

B, close-up of side face

Take a close-up of the side face. Experience suggests that Ma Dou has some hand movements, otherwise it will appear deliberate and stiff.

C, cut face close-up

Forehead cutting is a common and easy-to-use cutting method. Don't cut on the five senses or neck.

4. Small figure

Still named for the sake of easy memory, the definition of small figure is to see the clothes of the whole body clearly.

Why is there such a composition? Because in practice, it is found that barefoot shooting often greatly increases the difficulty of shooting, and when the shape of Madou is not so perfect, exposing feet and shoes will weaken the aesthetic feeling of a photo.

In fact, it is not difficult to find that compared with the real full-length photo, the small full-length photo reduces some possible imperfect limbs, such as shoes and buttocks, which makes the picture look fuller, weakens the background and highlights the characters. This is an easier to use and more realistic full-length portrait.

5. Big figure

Compared with the small body plate, the big body plate is characterized by the complete girlfriend in the picture, and there is no broken limb. Therefore, this is a relatively difficult composition method. The difficulty is that it becomes an ordinary life photo carelessly, which disappoints Ma Dou.

6. Local area

Local photos are often taken to set off the atmosphere, and there is no need to pursue the integrity or clarity of the picture. Recording a gesture is often more aesthetic than recording local limbs.

Write here, in order to facilitate everyone's memory, simply summarize a simple beat formula:

Vertical composition of chest height

Positive-back rotary head

Take a step back and cut your ass

From the shoulder to the skull

Take a clear picture of the whole body.

Be original in your work.

Especially half of them are in a group.

After that, there will be a detailed introduction about shooting single beauty ~

Photography: See more, think more and shoot more (it is suggested that friends who like photography and study photography can archive their favorite style photo library)

Leave a lot of photos with stories, so that you won't forget things you may forget in the future. Time flows away easily, but images can last forever.
