Talk about how to make good use of close-ups

If you want to shoot an aesthetic close-up, besides the pose of the model, composition plays a leading role!

① Central composition

The central composition is the most routine and the least prone to mistakes. When you try to take close-ups, you can start with the central composition, especially if you want to take close-ups of people's faces and upper bodies. You can be confident in your face, shoot at a random angle, and the big front is common.

Using the perspective of the lens, we can create an effect of being near the big and far from the small, and make the characters and the environment perfectly combined.

If you are not satisfied with your front face, get a side face.

Shade the sun with your hands to form shadows and increase the interest of the picture.

② Top frame composition

Up, down, left and right top frames, so that the composition is fuller and the line of sight is more focused. Try to avoid frontal shooting, and the side face is thinner and more delicious.

③ Diagonal composition

In addition, after looking at many photographers' photos, we found an interesting rule, that is, most beautiful close-ups use diagonal composition, that is, the line of sight of the subject is placed on the diagonal.

This diagonal composition method can also be used when shooting eyes, whether it is occlusion, lying down or detail description, so that the line of sight of the characters is placed on the left and right diagonal lines, which increases the mystery and makes the composition more focused.

Diagonal composition adds mystery, while composition is more focused.

④ foreground composition

The foreground here is divided into frame foreground and fuzzy foreground.

A. Frame perspective

Adding foreground scenery to the picture can not only give play to the effect of framing and composition, but also play a role in setting off the environment and explaining the scene at that time. Scene elements can be gaps between leaves, fences, window frames, etc. When shooting, you can constantly adjust the position through the viewfinder until the foreground in the picture successfully "frames" the characters.

With broken glass as the foreground, there is a bystander's perspective, which makes the photo more story-telling and interesting.

B. Vague prospects

When using foreground scenery for framing composition, it is often necessary to blur the framing scenery, but blurring the foreground is not necessarily for the "blocking" effect of framing composition. When taking pictures, by choosing the focal length, the scene in front of the lens can be completely blurred into a virtual shadow with hue, which can be used as an ornament of the picture and highlight the main body of the character.

We can make use of the flowers and plants in nature, which can be regarded as a natural illusory prospect.

If the aperture of the lens is large enough, you don't have to look for flowers and plants. Ordinary scenery will become very hazy after being completely blurred, which only provides a tone and atmosphere for the picture.

2. 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.

Through the linear light and shadow of the door crack, it shines on the subject, which distinguishes it from other objects in the environment and effectively guides the viewer's line of sight.

Backlight shooting produces contour light, which can outline the edge contour of the subject very beautifully and play a good role in separating the subject from the background.

The three-dimensional facial outline of the model is very clear in this single-sided light.

When something goes against the viewer's "general" habits, there will be points of interest. As shown below, blue and red are in sharp contrast between cold and warm, and there is no delivery line of yin and yang to avoid the facial illumination of the model. This seemingly unreasonable light and shadow effect is precisely the light-consuming feature of this film, creating a light and shadow effect different from general visual habits.

See above.

Front light, side light and background light are all used like natural light.

Step 3 make full use of color

In portrait photography, besides composition and light and shadow, color is the most important factor affecting the aesthetic feeling of photos. Different colors can express different feelings and thoughts. Proper use of color energy can not only make dull photos bright, but also make lifeless photos full of vitality.

The use of single color makes the picture simple and pure, coupled with simple composition content, the picture is extremely prominent.

@ Dig the wall to shine

Complementary colors refer to two colors with an included angle of 150 ~ 180 in the color wheel, which are characterized by strong contrast, so when complementary colors appear in the picture, they can form a strong foil effect and make the subject more prominent.

@ Zhang Tu Tu photo

Adjacent colors refer to two colors adjacent to each other in the color wheel. The use of adjacent colors is very common in photography creation, which can make the picture unified, harmonious, soft and elegant. However, due to the lack of color contrast, the visual impact is often not very strong, which is suitable for expressing some objects with softer feelings.

4. Find the change of angle.

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.

A. Top view angle

The advantage of this angle is that it can capture the eyes of the characters to the greatest extent, and the emotions can be easily expressed from the eyes, thus increasing the emotions of the photos.

B. Looking up angle

Looking up to shoot, the advantage is that it can show the scenery behind the model, avoid the interference of passers-by, buildings and so on, and achieve the purpose of concise and clean picture.

Take a low-angle backhand to make the picture look cleaner and tidy, and at the same time, it has exaggerated visual impact and a sense of blockbuster.

Use flowers and plants for shielding and weakening.

C. Angle of head rise

The horizontal shooting angle is most in line with our visual habits and can best reflect the "truth" we see.

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.

Don't ignore the local beauty.

The beauty of girls is a topic that many photographers never tire of hearing. It is the pursuit of every photographer to show the beauty of girls from different angles. Many photographers take many local close-ups in addition to their faces, adding a sense of mystery and beauty. Shooting a part can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and show the most beautiful place.

Small flowers add a little tenderness to women's sexiness.

Flexible finger movement brings enough sex appeal.

Local beauty, why do girls only shoot their faces? The close-up of eight parts adds mystery and aestheticism.

Close-range shooting, the angle is not easy to find, the flaws are easy to enlarge, and it is easy to highlight ... On the other hand, this is a process of fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and we all need to find the most beautiful side of the model. As long as you work hard, you will find that you can shoot the most beautiful pictures! Think about it a little before taking pictures, which will be more efficient and effective than taking pictures indiscriminately!
