Skills of taking one-inch photos

put on

The standard ID photo is of course a formal suit, a bright T-shirt or shirt with a dark coat (black or dark gray or navy blue, etc. If you want to look feminine, don't button your shirt around your neck. You can properly open a button to look soft and natural, but it is not suitable if the neck is long.

note:

1, avoid wearing shirts and thick clothes made of reflective materials, with abrupt printed fonts, which are too bright.

2. It is recommended to wear clothes with obvious neck lines.

I believe I don't need to emphasize how important it is. In short, everyone should pay attention!

Exposing your forehead hairstyle When you are satisfied with your forehead, exposing your forehead is my most recommended hairstyle!

express

No matter how beautiful the clothes are, no matter how beautiful the hairstyle is, the expression when taking pictures is not good, and the photos taken will not be good. If you are not doing orthodontics or your teeth are too ugly, it is recommended to expose a few teeth when taking pictures.

In any case, if you want to take a beautiful photo of your ID card, you should not only make the above preparations, but also ensure that you are beautiful. In addition, be sure to find a familiar photo studio and do some slight PS processing for the photo effect.

Proper preparation before shooting

1. In fact, the requirements for taking photos of ID cards are not high. Usually, a digital camera with 2 or 3 times optical zoom and more than 2 million pixels is enough.

2. It is best to control the shooting focal length within the range of the medium telephoto segment (equivalent to 85 mm ~ 65 65,438+035 mm of the traditional camera) to avoid the exaggerated deformation of the wide-angle end or the lack of stereoscopic effect of the telephoto end on the face.

3. Background cloth is an indispensable and important tool for taking ID photos. Ask the shooting requirements clearly before shooting, so as to choose the appropriate background color (passports and ID cards have a white background, driver's licenses have a red background, and the background of ID card photos used by some enterprises and units for publicity or passes is flexible, which can be monochrome, gradient or even some stripes or textures).

4. A stable tripod is the key to taking photos, especially indoors without indoor light and cloudy outdoors.

5. There must be at least three movable and easily adjustable lamps for indoor shooting (incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps can be used as desk lamps and floor lamps).

6. It is best to prepare a reflector when shooting outdoors, so as to fill the dark side and control the light and shadow effect in the case of large contrast.

Requirements for the subject and photographer

The photo shoot of the ID card is very rigorous. Photographers are required to dress appropriately and neatly, their hair styles and clothes should match, and their expressions should be natural. When shooting, he should look in the direction of the camera lens. In addition, before shooting, the photographer must be clear about the type of photos he takes, so as to determine the position of the characters and the choice of background and lighting.

Here, I want to talk about the posture of the characters. In China, almost all the common photo documents in the world show people sitting in front of the camera. However, some documents are used for enterprises, business leaders and so on. They all change slightly, that is, the body position is slightly left or right 15 or so? Usually, such photos have more affinity than sitting posture. In addition, the visa to immigrate to the United States and other countries must be 45? Half side angle, these details need special attention.

Shooting actual combat

Step 1: Choose a suitable background, set up a tripod about 2 meters in front of the background, and adjust the approximate position of the light source (shoot outdoors in a place that avoids direct sunlight and make up the light).

Step 2: Ask the subject to sit in front of the background about 1 m, put the light level according to his five senses, and use the front light or side light for light distribution. Sunlight means that the brightest desk lamp is placed on the extension line from the main axis of the lens optical center to the subject, another desk lamp is placed on the other side for auxiliary lighting, and the third desk lamp is used for background lighting. Shooting along the light can make the characters fuller. When the side light is distributed, put the main light on the side of the character, about 30? ~40? The position of the auxiliary light, adjust the position of the auxiliary light, can make people more stereoscopic (outdoor shooting with a hood to fill the light to avoid ghosting).

In addition, the subject wearing glasses should put the main light source higher to avoid glare caused by reflected light from glasses.

Step 3: manually correct the white balance before shooting, and use shooting photometry (you can choose key photometry methods to measure people's faces).

Step 4: Adjust the posture and eyes of the characters, seize the moment when the characters behave naturally on the spot, and press the shutter to finish shooting.
