Photographic skills of eyes

Lead: Eyes are the bridge to communicate with the soul. Whether people or animals, they can show their colorful inner world through their eyes. The so-called finishing touch, the description of eyes will add a lot of color to the picture. The following are the photography skills about eyes that I have carefully arranged for you. Welcome to refer to them!

The use of eye light

When shooting a portrait, no matter what light source is used, as long as it is in front of the subject and has enough brightness, it will be reflected into the eyes, and a reflection point will appear, thus forming a vision. The reflection points displayed in the eyes are always different in shape, size and position. The effects of various eye lamps vary greatly. Small bright light is pleasant, wide light is soft, and unlit eyes are like deep pools.

Eye direction attracts visual center

Whether it is animals or people, it is easy to get tired of the camera. When you look out of the picture, you can feel the subject's thoughts, vitality and emotional fluctuations, and there will be a sense of extension in the composition, which will bring infinite reverie to people. Author: Ugo, a lovely kitten in this work, the head and eyes just form the diagonal of the picture, and the composition is perfect. You can not only guess whether it found the food thrown by its owner or was attracted by the birds outside the window, or neither, but it may just be thinking about something again. "Hey hey, how can you understand the world of cats ~"

Close-up of pupil and iris

The iris is the colored part of the eye, usually near the eyelid. In other words, there should be no large white space between the eyelid and the bottom or top of the iris. If this gap is exposed, let his or her eyes look up or down. The size of the pupil is also important. If you shoot in bright light, your pupils will become smaller and you will look sharp when shooting. To correct this situation, let them close their eyes for a while before shooting. This will restore the pupil to its normal size and then expose it.

Express the mood of characters (portraits) with eyes.

As we all know, there are only three elements that can express a character's heart: eyes, expressions and movements. Among them, the eyes are the most critical. In portrait photography, the successful use of eyes helps to express the feelings of characters. The rich emotional world of characters, whether it is happiness, anger, sadness, confusion or intoxication ... must be displayed through the window of the soul. (Author: big eyes)

Reflecting the Environmental Background with Eyes (Documentary)

In addition to the inner world of the characters themselves, eyes have many functions. For example, the state of eyes can reflect the environment and background of the hero's time, whether he is around his warm family, on the battlefield where gunfire is flying, on a cheerful outdoor outing, or on the road of garbage collection in poverty. Especially documentary photography, a look may explain everything, or it may be a thought-provoking story!
