XI。 Portrait shooting in horizontal frame

The mullion, that is, the vertical rectangular composition, extends up and down. This frame mode is also a common composition method for taking portraits. The mullion emphasizes the vertical factors in the picture and the depth of the picture, and can be used to shoot full-length portraits or busts.

Twelve, overlooking the portrait.

Overlooking angle shooting means that the camera lens is above the normal horizon and shoots the subject down from a height. When shooting a character from this angle, the body of the character will be compressed and deformed, the head will be exaggerated and the body part will be reduced, so that the character will be more cute and playful.

Fourteen, using the environment to render the picture atmosphere.

Blank space is actually a well-understood concept, which means blank space. Blanking clearly means leaving a certain blank space for the picture when composing a composition. Vividly speaking, the blank in the picture plays a similar role to the punctuation in the article. But the blank space in photography is not necessarily a blank space in the actual sense, but a large area of scenery with the same color or type, such as sky, sea, mountains, grassland and land?

Blank space can make the picture more comfortable and natural visually. Photographers can use blank space to better control the rhythm and artistic conception of the picture, set off the artistic conception, leave more imagination space for the viewer, and let the viewer's viewpoint stay in the picture but the emotion is full of its extension.

In portrait photography, the main portrait should be arranged in the most attractive position in the picture, such as near the golden section. When composing a composition, leave a blank space appropriately to give the viewer room for imagination.

Fifteen, the line of sight of the characters is blank, extending the sense of space in the picture.

As mentioned above, in a photographic work, the main real image and the blank part are interdependent. The blank part can not only set off and explain the theme, but also supplement and strengthen the theme image. The blank space in front of the characters' sight can supplement the sight space of the main characters and seek the balance of the picture.

Sixteen, the use of accompaniment to help express character temperament.

Appropriate and ingenious use of adjoint can better express the artistic conception or story in the picture and strengthen the theme to be expressed. These props can be a bunch of flowers, a guitar, a toy, a pair of shoes or an umbrella. However, the props used should conform to the gender, age, personality, preferences and other characteristics of the subject, and only suitable props can play a role in assisting the subject to express the effect.

Seventeen, the vision shows people and the environment.

The foreground of shooting is largely to show the overall momentum of the picture, just like what is said in the painting theory? Take advantage? Therefore, photographers should focus on the overall situation and win with momentum. In portrait photography, the foreground covers the whole physical appearance of the subject, including the feet, and the background environment is very large. When shooting, the characters are combined with the background environment, and both can be properly expressed. But pay special attention to the collocation relationship between characters and backgrounds.

18. The middle scene shows the expressions and postures of the characters.

The portrait in the middle shot is an image above the knee, which not only shows the facial expression of the character, but also pays more attention to the hand movements of the character. Pay attention to the posture of the subject when shooting, which can further show the inner state of the subject.

When taking a portrait in the middle, you should also pay attention to the subject's expression.

19. The close-up shows the facial expressions of the characters.

Close-up portraits usually shoot images above the waist of the person, which can make readers have a strong impression on the person being photographed. It should be noted that it is best to use a medium telephoto lens to avoid possible perspective distortion, and at the same time, it can blur the background and beautify the picture. Close-ups are good for expressing people's facial expressions. When shooting, you can highlight the eyes of the subject, and the eyes are the windows of the soul. Eye contact is a way of communication and expression.

Twenty, close-up scenery shows the body parts of the characters.
