What are the methods of portrait photography?

Portrait composition refers to the photographer's reasonable picture layout centered on the person by using the camera's view frame. In the arrangement of composition, from an artistic point of view, the following ways of framing will make people's favorite works more in line with the visual aesthetics of the characters; Golden section, triangle composition, S-shaped curve composition, etc.

One, three-point composition to avoid people being too centered.

When taking portraits, we often encounter such problems. Would it be better to arrange the characters in an aesthetic position? A very important principle in composition, the three-point composition principle, can effectively help us solve this problem.

When you use three-point composition to arrange the position of the characters, you should pay attention to leave more space in the direction of the line of sight of the characters, which can make the picture look more natural. )

Second, the golden section method arranges the eyes of the characters.

As the saying goes, "the eyes are the windows of the soul", and the charm of a character's eyes can reflect the psychological state of the character. In portrait photography, the display of characters' eyes can effectively convey the characters' personality and emotions and arouse the audience's resonance. In order to better express the feelings of the characters, we can arrange the eyes of the characters through the golden section method.

Usually, the scenery of the golden section is more attractive. Therefore, in portrait photography, the eyes of the characters can be arranged at the golden section to highlight the modality of the characters.

The photographer puts the eyes of the characters on the golden section to make the picture more harmonious and natural. )

Third, the S-shaped curve composition highlights the enchanting figure of the characters.

S-shaped curve composition means that the picture presents an S-shape as a whole in the arrangement of composition. In portrait photography, S-shape is mostly used to express the curvaceous beauty of characters, and S-shape image is used to express the enchanting and sexy figure of women. S-shaped curve composition has the characteristics of extension and change, which can produce a sense of Excellence, elegance and coordination. These characteristics make the S-shaped curve ring very suitable for highlighting the enchanting figure of the model.

S-shaped composition will make the model's figure more beautiful and moving. )

Four, triangle composition shooting sitting or squatting posture

In portrait photography, triangular circles are often used when shooting people sitting or squatting. Triangular composition is to put the subject in the picture in a triangular structure. Or a composition method of constructing a picture with a scene which is a triangle itself.

(When shooting squatting posture, triangle composition can enhance the stability of the picture, which is a frequently chosen composition method. )

Verb (abbreviation for verb) L-shaped composition Shooting a model sitting on one side.

There are many kinds of sitting postures on the side, mostly to show the sexy leg lines of the model. The legs of the model can be bent and stretched, making the lines of the picture more changeable. The upper body should be straight, chest out, and the waist curve should be fully displayed. You can also choose an L-shaped sitting posture, which will increase the lines and movement of the picture when the model sits on the side and show the beautiful curves of the model's legs.

(When posing in an L-shaped sitting position, the model can rely on trees, walls and other places to enhance the changes of the picture according to the needs of the environment and the scene. )

Sixth, blur the subject composition and create a special artistic conception.

In portrait photography, the conventional expression is that the protagonist is the center of the focus, which is true, but sometimes it breaks the conventional expression. For example, you can try to do the opposite and deliberately blur the subject, so that you can create some special artistic conception.

The photographer focuses on the camera in the hands of the model and blurs the background with a large aperture, making the picture novel and interesting. )

Seven, inverted composition shooting prone figures

In portrait shooting, there is also a very interesting composition method, that is, inverted composition. This composition method is not commonly used, but it occasionally gives people a bright feeling. When shooting people lying on their backs, you can usually take pictures with inverted composition. This composition method breaks the conventional front figure composition, and makes the figure composition head down in a diagonal, straight or L-shaped way. This reverse arrangement of figures' prone positions can beautify the figures by using the perspective deformation effect of the lens, and can also present the picture to the audience from a novel perspective.

The model lies on the bed, the composition is more novel and the picture is more interesting. )
