How to get perspective effect in portrait location shooting

Lead: In the composition of location shooting, perspective plays a key role in the expression of the layout, space and three-dimensional sense of the picture. Let's take a closer look.

Frontal perspective

Two groups of ridge directions parallel to the length and height of the building. At this time, the ridge line in the width direction has a vanishing point. When the vanishing point is 1, we call it small perspective. This method is widely used in the composition of outdoor portrait photography, which is steady, atmospheric and profound, highlighting the main characters.

When shooting, we highlight the space with a reasonable position, so that the perspective of the space produces a vanishing point and the picture produces a strong sense of depth.

angular perspective

In Parallel perspective, it is assumed that all objects are placed in parallel, and the actual objects often form a certain angle with the picture, so each object can be accurately represented by two-point perspective. In the shooting of exterior portraits, the effect of two-point perspective is free and lively, and the space reflected is close to people's real feelings. There are two vanishing points in the picture, which have a strong three-dimensional sense and can produce staggered changes.

The two-point perspective space is staggered, which highlights the relationship between the environment and the characters, sets off the main characters, makes the composition form rich, and is conducive to the performance of the picture. This is also the reason why many photographers like to shoot some angular exterior environments with good visual effects.

three-point perspective

Three-point perspective means that when the face and edge line of a cube are not parallel to the picture, the edge line of the face can extend to three vanishing points, and a three-point perspective will be formed when the cube is viewed from top to bottom. Three-point perspective is characterized by exaggerated spatial deformation, strength and strong visual impact.
