How to take a good male-themed photo?

How many times have you heard a man answer "Well, I don't like being photographed"? This is quite a common phenomenon. The problem is not men, but photographers. Photographers generally believe that men are not selective in posing, but this view is wrong.

Like all photo shooting, preparation should always come first. Here are some questions to ask yourself. Shooting in the studio? What clothes will the model wear? Do you need a shave? Does the theme need a specific hairstyle? Wait a minute. problem

Close-up of facial portrait

90% of men have unnatural facial expressions. However, there is a good way to relax the subject-observe his eyes carefully and then close them. Ask him to deliberately start with an angry expression, then an indifferent expression (smiling face), then a faint smile, and finally a beautiful smile. In this way, we will immediately know which expression is most suitable for a person's face, put forward different story lines, and get the facial expression that is most suitable for the photo shooting environment or theme.

Male hand

A man's hand shows a sense of effort, which is itself a photo. Please ask the man in the picture to play with his watch and cufflinks. Don't be bothered by editing and retouching-only minor changes, all scars, veins and freckles are the details of a story.

Facing the camera

Let the people in the camera stride towards the camera and look in different directions. Models must have good posture and neutral facial expressions. If possible (within the range of props), don't wander aimlessly in the air-have supports (railings, crutches) or just take off your coat.

Sit in a chair

Chair is probably the most widely used subject in male photography. Let the model lean forward and cross her arms on her knees. To make a change, you can tilt the chair slightly with the camera and aim the camera at the model's chin.

Go back to the camera

The shot in the back is very mysterious, so it is an interesting gesture. Or, let the model turn her back to the camera (or not). However, it is this posture that can show the hair and chin well.

These gestures can be used as the basis for shooting. But it is worth remembering that any posture can be adjusted according to the shooting environment and script.
