How to get a lot of portrait shooting opportunities

Friend, many photographers have the same problem when they first start playing. I'll give you some advice. You can try it.

1, major photographer's forums, such as Zhongguancun Online, Hummingbird Forum Activity Section, POCO Photographer's Outside Shooting Forum, etc. There are many portrait shooting activities, of course, not all of them are free. If you like to shoot in the shed, you can of course take part in some outdoor shooting activities, and there are many outdoor shooting activities, and the cost ranges from 50 to 500. For example, most of the shooting activities organized by Guose.com are around 500. It depends on your preference.

The advantage is that you can meet many photographers, exchange experiences and study, and you can learn a lot about the lighting and scenery in the shed.

2. Various exhibitions. At present, many models and etiquette will be invited to various exhibitions. Except for exhibitions such as professional photographic equipment exhibitions, there are few special scenery and lighting. So there will be some light effect when shooting.

The advantage is that many exhibitions are free, so you can practice more and learn by yourself.

3, street shooting, many photographers like to sweep the street, you can also try, but you need to have more courage and thicker skin, see a beautiful girl in the street, it is a bit difficult to persuade her to be your model, but you can try, not bad. Some MMs will support you very much, and one thing will be very difficult for you.

The advantage is that it is more casual and less particular, but it will produce many classic portraits.

4. Persuade people around you to be your role models, such as colleagues, relatives and friends. You don't have to go to the park or the studio to shoot. Actually, it's very casual, such as in billiards hall and downstairs garden. Even many friends' babies can be good peas for you to practice. This is also a test of your shooting path. After all, not everyone is a professional bean, right? I need you to guide them into the state when shooting.

The advantage is that I don't know how to sum it up. Think for yourself.

The above points are the most opportunities for portrait shooting practice. You can try. And don't feel embarrassed just because your equipment is worn out. Few people who take serious photos come up to play Hasselblad and play1d. Before that, they all upgraded slowly or used film to play SLR, right? Isn't it different for rich people to take pictures with top machines after burning equipment with green squares (automatic gears)?

You don't need a good machine to take good photos. You should have good creativity and composition, inspiration and experience to create, stand up and March towards this SLR, which is likely to be three generations behind.
