Shooting skills of portrait in rainy days

Lead: For outdoor shooting, rainy days are enough to torture people. But in fact, if you have the heart of photography, you can take pictures of any weather! Let's go, pick up the camera and shoot portraits in the rain, and get a completely different surprise from shooting on a sunny day.

Selection of shooting equipment:

Rainy days are actually very troublesome, so we should pay attention to rain protection, so photographers usually wear raincoats to shoot. What is more troublesome is that water is the most taboo of digital cameras, and most of them have no waterproof ability. If possible, it is best to prepare a waterproof cover for cameras. If rain enters the camera, don't panic. The best way is to turn off the power immediately, take out the battery and dry it before using it, or take it to the maintenance center for inspection immediately.

Exposure control:

Photographic exposure is one of the biggest tests in any scene, not to mention the difficulty of exposure in such a special environment as rainy days. On rainy days, the contrast of the scenery is small. If the photo is overexposed, it will appear gray, which requires reducing the exposure to improve the contrast. Generally speaking, when shooting rain scenes, it is recommended to use a larger aperture to get enough sensitivity. In addition, it should be noted that the metering of the camera should also be based on the accurate exposure of the subject's face, and at the same time, it should be emphasized that the model's eyes are bright. In the hazy rain, Youyou's eyes are a bright spot.

Shutter control:

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to take portraits in heavy rain. Shooting portraits in light rain can still get a good artistic conception. Generally, a slow shutter can be used to capture the rain scene, so that the rain line can be obtained and the artistic conception of people in the rain can be obtained.

Background selection:

In the choice of shooting background, shooting portraits in a gray rain scene will be oppressive if you still choose a gray sky as the background. Therefore, we should choose dark forests, antique houses and colorful flowers as the background to set off the bright rain, and there is a sense of hierarchy between the characters and the background.

Potential customer selection:

In such a special environment as rainy days, umbrellas, trees and flowers splashed by raindrops and sand can be effectively used as the foreground, which can not only record the atmosphere of rainy days, but also bring a better sense of depth of field and different visual expressions of reality and reality.

Scene selection:

It's even more interesting to take portraits on a rainy night. Because the light at night reflects on the ground to form a reflection, it will bring a particularly good color effect, and the true feelings of the model will make the picture more vivid and dreamy. From this point of view, the portrait shooting effect of rainy night scene is more abundant than that of ordinary night scene.

If you are good at snapping pictures, then the expression of pedestrians on the road when the rainstorm suddenly drops is the best time for you to play. Because the action expressions of the characters captured at that time were the most natural.

In addition, don't think that you can just walk away after the rain clears. After the rain stops, wet ground and various static beaches can be special elements for framing. It reflects the surrounding scenery like a mirror, and it will capture quite unique picture effects when used for framing.
