How does portrait shooting make the picture more dynamic?

Lead: When people take pictures for a long time, the first thing I encounter is why your photos are the same as mine. I don't know how to choose after taking a hundred pictures, because it's all the same. First of all, we should learn to get rid of the fixed-point posture thinking and stop standing on a fixed point. No matter how hard the model changes her posture at the same fixed point for a long time, there will be no stalk, so please move as much as possible. Moving and shooting can be divided into two actions, one is model moving and the other is photographer moving.

How does portrait shooting make the picture more dynamic?

In fact, the pose of a model is also an action, but this pose is more common, so I won't discuss it here. According to my shooting experience, models can generally try to capture the following three kinds of dynamic pictures.

Model operation

The shooting method of running with the model can also be said to be chasing. The method is like playing a game of traffic lights when I was a child. When I was about to be caught by a ghost, I quickly turned around and said "red". When the photographer follows the model, he can ask her to look back at the camera from time to time, or let her turn around naturally, while lowering her body and fiddling with her hair, which makes it easier to capture lively and dynamic pictures.

Model circle

When the model turns in circles, her hair will flow with her. If she wears a skirt, she can also present an umbrella-shaped picture. When shooting, please ask the model to play in circles naturally like a little girl, and try not to swing her hands up when rotating, otherwise it may block her face. When rotating, you also need to look at the moving cells of the model. Some models are suitable for simple fixed-point rotation of 180, and some models are suitable for continuous jumping rotation. According to their characteristics, guide her to rotate and try to avoid too tough instructions, sometimes there will be no good results.

Cooperate to catch the wind

Wind is a dynamic spirit, but it is also the most difficult to capture such pictures, because the strength and direction of the wind, and even the start and end time of the wind are difficult to control. Photographers can try to let the model take a step forward in the downwind position first to capture the flying picture; You can also let the model face the camera, raise her head, and then let her hair hang down slowly, let it flow with the wind and cover up the local picture of her face. This is also one of the techniques commonly used in light photography.

Photographer movement (lens movement)

When the model is trying to "move", the photographer should not be too lazy and try to make himself move and shoot. From the photographer's point of view, there are two ways to move. One is to follow the model. When the model keeps running forward, if the photographer is still standing in the same place and the focal length is limited, he will not be able to keep up with the good picture. Therefore, it is recommended that the photographer chase after the model (of course, pay attention to the numerical settings of the camera aperture and shutter). On the other hand, the model may be inexperienced and the motor nerve is average, so the photographer can only shoot in a fixed position. Then the photographer can try to change the angle and distance of the lens, guide the model and capture different lens positions from different angles. Don't be lazy when you are tired of shooting in one place for a long time. Shooting from another angle will definitely bring different surprises.
