Second, the diagonal composition of the bust

When your model is not good at posing, or has no good figure, good clothes and good background, big head and bust are the first choice. As long as you use diagonal composition flexibly, you will find that clothing, background and even figure are secondary.

When you shoot color portraits, you must make the background excellent and concise, so as not to usurp the host's role, especially the bust and full-length portraits. Chest circumference refers to the part below the waist to the knee of the model. At this time, most of the models' bodies, especially their hands, are in the film.
