Shooting skills of portraits with glasses

Shooting skills of portraits with glasses When taking pictures of people with glasses, the reflection on their eyes often makes many beginners nervous. In fact, this is only caused by the carelessness of novices. Usually, as long as photographers look closely, they will find that people's eyes are sometimes not reflective, which is when the direction of light irradiation forms a certain angle with glasses.

Therefore, to eliminate the reflection on portrait glasses, photographers must be careful. When shooting people wearing glasses outdoors, when the subject stands in a bright place and faces the shady place, the light spots and reflected images on the glasses will be weakened. On the contrary, spots and reflections on glasses are almost inevitable. It can be seen that when people take pictures with glasses, there will be a lot of reflections on them. With the rotation of the subject, the change of direction and the movement of the photographer's camera, the height of the camera rises or falls, and this light spot can disappear completely.

When taking pictures of people wearing glasses indoors, you can use a lamp to illuminate at first. The photographer can look through the viewfinder of the camera and move the lamp until the reflection on the glasses disappears. Auxiliary lights should not be placed in front. The key to success for beginners to take such photos lies in their care and patience. If you take such a photo with a flash, the key to success lies in care and patience. If you shoot with a flash, you can't use direct light, so the bright flash light will be clearly reflected on the glasses, and the use of reflective light will improve this phenomenon.

If possible, you can also add a polarizer to the camera lens, which will reflect light much better. The photographer can rotate the polarizer, observe the reflection and reflection images on the glasses disappear from the camera viewfinder, and then press the shutter.

Photographers often say that as long as you have a heart for beauty and a pair of eyes for discovery, ordinary scenes in life are also the source of your creation. The following works were born in the tea restaurant where we eat and drink tea every day. They are too ordinary to be noticed, or the light is dim to be noticed by us, but they can also take creative and bright photos.

First, seriously prepare for the early stage:

Tea restaurant is a place with Hong Kong characteristics, a sense of history and China culture. In such a scene, photography itself is an interesting thing.

But why did you choose the outer model in the whole film? The purpose is to make supermodels collide with each other in China Tea Restaurant due to cultural differences, and express the photography connotation with exaggerated and restrained images. The movements of the whole group of models are domineering and generous (the model clothes are classical, and the white-collar T and green straight skirt are not too casual). Tea restaurant has the characteristics of retro grass roots, which has formed a good visual conflict and a relatively harmonious picture.

However, the creation in a tea restaurant is usually in a dark and difficult environment. How to ensure better products? In the early stage of shooting, we must ensure the quality, the fluidity of photography must be good, the shooting process should be constantly changing, and the mind should keep running.

The kitchen in the shooting environment is more messy than expected, and the flow of people is difficult to control. But remember that there are some lines and surfaces in the chaotic environment, and how to use these lines and surfaces is the key. To combine the pose and expression of the model in the shooting process, the key is how to arrange the model to properly integrate into the environment to express the theme.

Second, the clever use of auxiliary light in low light environment:

How to measure the light and choose a suitable light source in an environment where the light is dim and obviously not dominant? According to the face exposure and the illumination ratio of the background environment, the whole group of films is exposed, and the compromise value is selected for exposure.

The film taken in this way is brighter in tone, so try to focus with a large aperture. The fixed Jiao Da aperture has a large luminous flux, which has great advantages in low light environment.

The reflector is used in the shooting process. The reflector has two functions here: one is to remove unnecessary shadows on the face, and the other is to reflect the light source to the model's face with ambient light, and appropriately choose to use the reflector to fill the model's light. ......
