Six commonly used shooting props and usage of small fresh portraits

Props are very useful extra points in portrait shooting. In portrait shooting, proper props and reasonable collocation can add a lot of color to the photos. Although not every photo needs props, with the help of props, the requirements for models can be reduced, and many creative choices can be added to enrich shooting.

Today, I will introduce some common shooting props in Japanese portraits and their usage.

Camera: Most people who love photography have more than one camera, whether it is a digital SLR camera, a film camera, a card camera or a polaroid. These cameras can be used as props. Moreover, using the camera as a prop is like seeing your own shadow for the photographer, and it can also set off the literary freshness of the model. When shooting with a camera as a prop, the model can pretend to pick up the camera to take pictures, or stand naturally with the camera in his hand, or hang the camera on his chest as decoration.

Transparent umbrella: Transparent umbrella is a "good helper" for shooting Japanese portraits in rainy days. When shooting in the rain, using a transparent umbrella as a prop can not only prevent rain, but also make the picture look fresher, which is not available when shooting in sunny days. Moreover, transparent umbrellas can be bought in convenience stores or subway stations in many cities, which are cheap and attractive. When shooting with a transparent umbrella as a prop, the umbrella is naturally propped up, or the umbrella is held high, or the face is partially blocked by the umbrella. If some movements are difficult to achieve because the handle is too long, you can try some other movements instead of holding them in your hand all the time.

Straw hat: Straw hats used as shooting props can be roughly divided into two types: soft hat and hard hat.

The material of the big brim hat is soft and the brim is large. If the model wears it when shooting, it can give people a strong sense of summer and holiday. The big hat brim can not only shade the sun, but also play a certain role in modifying the model's face, inadvertently highlighting the petite and lovely appearance of the model.

The material of top hat is usually hard, and the brim has a three-dimensional shape. Hard hats can make people look lively and playful more than soft hats. At the same time, due to the small brim of the top hat, it is very suitable for petite models when taking full-length photos.

Bouquet: Flowers can always represent a girl's charm and vitality. Shooting with bouquets as props can bring a beautiful and fresh feeling to the picture. In actual shooting, you can choose the appropriate bouquet as shooting props according to the style you want to shoot, the personal temperament of the model and the matching of flowers and the color of the model's clothing.

Food: Most foods are bright in color and lovely in appearance. When you see them, you want to smell their fragrance. So using food as props can add a sweet feeling to the picture. In the choice of food, we should try to choose those with beautiful shapes and colors, such as strawberries, cherries, lemons, cakes, bread, juice and milk. Foods such as bread and milk were used in the shooting. This kind of bread contains white cream and looks sweet and delicious. The red color of watermelon is bright and beautiful; Milk gives people a soft and waxy warmth.

Musical instruments: Musical instruments are also good shooting props for some portraits with more literary temperament. Common musical instruments that can be used to take Japanese photos are guitar, piano, accordion and Creary. Of course, if the model has one of the musical specialties, it is better. If there is none at all, it is also necessary to avoid being stiff and unnatural when posing. When shooting with musical instruments as props, the model can pick up the guitar and pretend to flick it, or put the instrument on her body, or directly carry the instrument.
