Talking about the shooting skills of portrait photography? 300 words

The key to portrait photography is "both form and spirit". First of all, to express a character's appearance well, we must master its most typical characteristics and make people as beautiful as possible. Secondly, the natural expression of the photographer's inner feelings reflects people's personality characteristics and mental outlook. The eyes are the windows of the soul, which can best reflect the charm of the characters. Successful portrait photography works should be shot through the eyes and also have eye light. A soft box and a reflector can be used to produce vivid eye light in the eyes of the subject. Third, good photographic equipment. The best lens for portrait photography is 70-2 10mm or 80-200mm medium telephoto lens. If possible, photographers had better use a tripod. In addition, in outdoor portrait shooting, the reflector is essential, which can supplement the light for the main characters in the backlight, eliminate the shadow on the face and increase the eye light. The fourth is the shooting angle and composition. For portraits, we usually use the head-up shooting angle, that is, the camera is in a horizontal line with the photographer's eyes.
