Introduction to the shooting of snow scene in the Forbidden City

The strategy of shooting the snow scene of the Forbidden City is to choose the appropriate light level and the most appropriate time to show solemnity and sacredness symmetrically.

1, select the appropriate light level.

It is best to shoot the location of the Forbidden City at 45 degrees in the daytime. As for the direct top light, front light, side light or backlight, it is not as good as the front side light in showing the details and texture of the building surface, but the side light can form the Gao Fancha effect, and the backlight is suitable for shooting the silhouette of the palace.

In addition, we must master the exposure and choose the background. Make the picture as rich as possible, plus blue sky, white clouds, or clouds in the morning and evening, to achieve the icing on the cake effect.

2. The most suitable time

Photographers and photo tour groups often choose the opening and closing time of the Forbidden City, which is a more suitable time because there are few people. Winter is the most suitable season to photograph the Forbidden City, because the sunshine in winter is southerly, and the buildings of the Forbidden City are all facing south, and the inclination of the sunshine is relatively large, which is more convenient to show the Forbidden City.

3. Symmetry represents solemnity and sacredness.

Most of the Forbidden City has a symmetrical structure. In order to show the solemn and steady symmetrical beauty of the Forbidden City, when shooting the composition, we should first look up from the front, then find the symmetry axis of the building and shoot at the axis.

Photo pose:

1, hold your chest and abdomen and look at the camera.

Whether you take a full-length photo or a half-length photo, you should avoid hunching over. People will be more energetic and slimmer to a certain extent when they hold their chests out and their bellies in, especially when they are photographed from the side. At this time, you can shoot at the camera and the effect is better.

2. Empty-handed is unacceptable

Taking pictures with bare hands is a test of the model's expressiveness. If your lens sense and expressive force are not good, and your hands are not good, then shoot some objects on your hands, and the overall picture will be fuller. Models can also perform postures according to props to enrich pose.

Step 3 take photos by yourself

Learning to take pictures is actually a process to help people relax. With the help of inclined objects in the scene, such as trunks, railings, road signs, walls, etc. The body is presented in a relaxed and natural state, without too many gestures or skills, and the eyes are fearless, creating an emotional feeling.
