People in the wheat field were photographed. How can it be more beautiful? Fashion, beauty, rice and wheat portrait shooting strategy

There is a trace of wheat fragrance in the wind, mixed with the cuckoo's cry. Looking at the wheat field, it has gradually turned yellow, and the summer harvest season has come. The summer harvest season is not only a harvest season, but also creates an excellent portrait photography environment for us. So, how to take pictures of people in the wheat field?

First, clothing, props collocation

Appropriate clothing plays an important role in adding color to portrait shooting. In the golden wheat field, white T-shirts, shirts and skirts will look fresh and romantic. In addition to white, other small fresh colors with low purity, such as light blue, light pink, light green and small broken flowers, are very good choices. Dress or halter skirt or vest is the best style, and short skirt or shorts are suitable for summer. Avoid wearing long clothes and pants. Such photos can highlight the beauty and freshness of the characters.

You can also choose pastoral clothing, retro style and Republic of China style clothing made of cotton and linen fabrics. Its strong humanistic style, on the contrary, is another kind of nature, which fits well with the natural beauty of wheat fields. This kind of clothing is relatively picky, and you need to overwhelm it with beauty, or complement each other.

TIPS 1: Generally speaking, clothes with strong colors and too fancy are taboo. Such as black, red, purple, red and green, large-area geometric patterns, stripe patterns, wave points, splicing and contrasting colors. Unless you have good control.

As for props, umbrellas, cameras, balloons, bubble water, fruits, books and musical instruments can be used. Summer flowers and even wheat itself are also good props. In addition, there are straw hats, hair bands, small hair clips and so on. It is also a good accessory to increase the vitality of girls. In fact, there are many props that can be used. The key point is to be good at observing the details of life and then devote yourself to the creation of photos.

Second, light and shadow enhance expressive force.

Photography is the art of light and shadow, and portrait shooting, "light and shadow" is the key factor to determine the success or failure of photographic works. If the model's expressive force is limited or not good at posing, then the posing of light and shadow can improve the overall expressive force.

Although sunlight can bring fresh space to the picture, when shooting outdoor portraits under strong light, the light is too hard, resulting in strong contrast, thick shadows, too bright overall and serious loss of details. You can use reflectors, hats, umbrellas, etc. Shade or fill light.

Of course, in addition to shooting in sunny days with strong light, we can also choose cloudy or cloudy days to shoot. In this weather, the light and shadow will be softer, the contrast of the photos will be lower, and the performance of the skin will be good. It should be noted that because the light is soft, the picture will appear dull, and it is necessary to adjust the level and color of the photo through post-software later, and the effect will be much better.

For the application of portrait light and shadow, please refer to the previous article, such as forward light, side light and back light. Portrait natural light was originally used in this way.

Third, composition is very important.

1, simplify the complex.

Wheat field is easy to attract attention because of its bright colors, and a large area of wheat field may cause visual confusion if it is not handled properly, so we should know the composition method of simplifying the complex. Composition needs to be divided into primary and secondary, and the key points are generally concise, but there is a central point. In order to highlight the center, we can try appropriate visual guidance, such as using props for visual guidance, emphasizing the key details of the picture and unifying the whole picture.

2. Blank space-visual space

The line of sight of the people watching the works will also be guided by the line of sight of the characters in the picture, thus increasing the infinite imagination space. Therefore, it is suggested to leave a little visual space as far as possible when shooting on location to create an atmosphere for the picture. However, it must be noted that the scenery in the picture is clean and unified, and unnecessary things (such as passers-by, garbage, etc.). ) You should avoid entering the screen.

? 3. Borrowing prospects

In the scene, you can go back a little first, observe the scene and see what colors are suitable and can be used. When shooting, if you can show the feelings of the three scenes at the same time, the whole picture will not only have a better sense of space, but also show different charm and feelings through the foreground. Generally, a telephoto lens can be used to bring the foreground into the shooting, which plays an extended visual effect; Use a wide-angle lens to deform the foreground moderately and play an exaggerated visual effect.

4, looking for commanding heights to shoot.

In a sea of flowers, when everyone is shooting at a parallel or low angle, if we can find the commanding heights, we can bring a shocking feeling to the scene and look different. So, if you want to shoot a special feeling, work harder when necessary and prepare the ladder!

? 5, local shooting

Do you have to make a face when you take a portrait? Of course not. Everyone has the most beautiful part. As the saying goes, "the details see the real chapter", we should be good at finding the bright spots in the model. In addition, in a group of portrait photos, local close-up photos can also supplement stories and pictures.

Pay more attention to the hands, mouth, chin, shoulders and legs of the model when shooting, and there will always be unexpected pictures in front of you.

It should be noted that portrait photography should be changed, and the angle and scenery should be changed as much as possible under the condition that the characters and scenes remain unchanged. The shooting angle of portrait close-up can be divided into overlooking, looking up and looking up; Different perspectives will bring different visual feelings to people. In addition, while changing the shooting angle, the camera also needs to move and try to rotate the camera lens, so as to diversify the visual effects of the photos and increase the attractiveness of the photos.

Fourth, posture recommendation.

Sitting posture, smiling back, carrying hands, stretching, looking into the distance, etc. They are all small and fresh postures. If you have a partner with strong shooting ability, you can also try to rotate, jump and move. Taking pictures is unnatural? You can also take pictures without looking at the camera for your choice.

If you just shoot it still, it may seem unnatural. At this time, you can shoot a smile to capture the dynamic effect. Don't worry too much about embarrassment or silence when taking pictures. Naturally close your eyes and smell the wheat. This picture is enough to make people move ~

For details, please refer to the last photo of the most complete flower sea. POSE teaches you how to become a goddess in one second!

Fifth, control the exposure.

Under backlight and side backlight, controlling exposure is a problem that needs to be considered. If you are not careful, your face will be too dark or your background will be overexposed. At this time, the spot metering mode should be adopted as far as possible, and the real-time view of LCD screen can be used to see the influence of different metering values on exposure, which is more convenient to choose the appropriate metering point.

? After finding a suitable metering point, press AE-L to lock the exposure value, and then re-view and compose. Generally speaking, as far as possible, "can restore the brightness of human skin" is the reference standard for the selection of metering points, and it is best not to overexpose. When the light ratio is too large, it is necessary to fill the light with a reflector or a flash, or take several photos of different exposure value in the same area for later synthesis.

Sixth, capture the small details of the moment with characteristics.

Each portrait can be very similar or very different, and it is often the small details in the photo that distinguish them. These details are more important when taking a group photo. A photo without details may still look good, but it will inevitably make people feel distant. You can ask the model to pick up a fallen leaf or step on it. These details are very narrative.

? The small details of the moment can infect people because they are unpredictable and cannot be copied, so interesting snapshots can greatly improve the score of the work.

abstract

Finally, I want to say that although the photographic equipment is becoming more and more advanced, the public still urgently needs to make up the lesson of "civilized photography". Don't trample on the wheat field at will in pursuit of the picture effect, be a civilized photographer. Summer harvest season is here, do your homework and ask your sister out to take a photo ~
