How to pose for photos of flowers and travel?

Have you ever been embarrassed not to pose in the process of taking pictures?

Shimo teaches you a trick:

Such as the sun visor in Figure 1.

Can help the model pose when taking pictures; You can also block out the sun when you are not taking pictures.

According to Shi Mo's shooting experience, among many photographic props, hats are more practical.

If it is replaced by other photographic props, such as umbrellas or scarves, it can also play a similar role; However, there may be some restrictions when posing.

I put the specific reasons at the end of the article.

Leave a button first, then unbutton it.

Example Figure 2

Looking at flowers in spring and taking photos with a hat can "deceive people".

The most basic function of a hat, besides sun protection, is to modify the face!

For example, the model's face is slightly longer, and wearing a big hat can play a role in neutralizing the face shape;

If the model's cheekbones are wide, press the hair on both sides of the sideburns with a hat to cover the cheeks. You can also modify the face shape and take a face-lifting effect.

The main point of shooting is to ensure that the brim in front of the model's forehead is raised and her eyes are exposed.

Refer to example figure 2, make the brim high in front and low in back.

Example Figure 3

If you want to shoot the effect of "beauty sleeping in spring", you can also gently buckle the hat on the model's head to block some bangs, which can also play a role in modifying the face.

Referring to example figure 3, the main point of shooting is to expose the model's eyes ... even if the model is dozing off.

Example Figure 4

Although the basic function of the hat is sun protection, it does not mean that the hat must be worn on the model's head to have the effect of sun protection.

Picking up a hat and gently lifting it over your head can also play a role in sun protection.

At the same time, it can also solve the problem that the model's small hands have nowhere to put!

Referring to example figure 4, the model naturally poses as a parasol with a hat in both hands.

Example Figure 5

As the topic, this one is very important.

Whether you wear a hat or take a photo with it, you should be careful not to let the shadow of the hat stay on the model's face.

As shown in Figure 5, the model's face is half bright and half dark ... Is it nice?

Although post-retouching can get rid of these shadows ... why not deliberately avoid them when shooting in the early stage?

Example Figure 6

Awning is usually light. Models, if they don't know how to pose, can hold their hats in their hands and hold them above their heads with one or both hands.

Refer to example fig. 8.

When the model holds the hat with one hand, her shoulders will tilt and her head will naturally tilt to the other side.

Models tilt their heads to take pictures, which are cute and playful, especially suitable for young girls.

The point of shooting is not to let your arm block the model's cheek.

Example Figure 7

Nowhere to put your hands is the most common problem in portrait photography.

If the model only holds the hat with one hand and the other hand doesn't know where to put it, it's better to hold the brim with both hands!

For example, as shown in Figure 7, a model can put a hat on her chest, grab the brim with both hands and smile at the camera.

Example Figure 8

Taking beautiful photos of flowers with hats can not only solve the problem of "little hands have nowhere to put", but also alleviate the tension of models looking at the camera.

When a model is nervous, her expression will be stiff.

When the model does not wear a hat, the model can cover his nose and chin with a brim. For example, as shown in Figure 8, only watery eyes are exposed;

Example Figure 9

If the model is wearing a hat, she can also cover the upper part of her face with a brim, exposing only her nose and chin, as shown in Example 9.

If the model's eyes are beautiful, please refer to the example figure 8.

Assuming that the model's eyes are not very brilliant, cover them as shown in Figure 9!

Both methods can be used to see which one is more suitable for the model.

Example diagram 10

It's a big problem to have a small belly when taking pictures.

Such a good living condition, small belly is not only for middle-aged aunts ... many young girls also have it.

It's definitely not good to take pictures of a small belly!

This problem will be solved with a sun hat.

Refer to the illustration 10. When taking pictures, put a big hat on the belly and abdomen-there is room for the model's hands, and the small belly is also blocked.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Example diagram 1 1

Holding the brim with both hands will be more deliberate; If you hold the brim with one hand, it will look more natural.

Moreover, because only one hand is used to hold the brim, the model's head will naturally tilt to the side of reaching out.

Remember what Shimo said before?

When young girls take pictures, nodding slightly will look playful and lovely.

You can refer to the effect of the example diagram 1 1.

Example diagram 12

In addition, you can also take a "retrospective photo" with one hand on the brim.

Look back, don't laugh, just turn your head and body around.

Referring to the example diagram 12, the model can be photographed with a slight twist.

Example diagram 13

Since the model can shoot "Looking Back" with the brim, of course, he can also shoot "Killing Back" with the brim!

Or, just hold down your hat with one hand and simply shoot your back among the flowers. Refer to the example diagram 14.

Example diagram 14

Whether it's a close shot or a long shot, shooting the back is deliberately creating a "sense of lack" for readers to make up for themselves. What does the model look like?

Everyone's aesthetic is different. Some people like a square face, others like a round face ... Not taking the front face, but only taking the back face, which deliberately leaves room for the reader's imagination. If the brain makes up for the missing beauty, readers will imagine the model as what they expect most in their hearts!

Example diagram 15

Strictly speaking, "shooting from behind" is one of the shooting modes of "not showing your face".

For example, turn the hat upside down and put some beautiful flowers or some delicious fruit on it. Then, guide the model to reach for the hat or something in it.

Refer to the illustration 15, and only shoot the delicate hands of the model.

Example diagram 16

Or, just let the model take a hat in his hand and pat the part below the model's shoulder.

Refer to the example 16, deliberately avoid the model's face and only shoot the model's slim figure.

Readers will think: What is the truth about my fair lady?

What you can't see is the best

Example diagram 17

First of all, the hat is lighter.

Holding a hat in your hand, or throwing it into the air, you can take beautiful photos.

Some people will say that this can also be done with a thin scarf. Refer to the example diagram 17.

However, whether the scarf is thrown out. Still in your hand, the shape is not as good as a hat. Taking a picture with a scarf may take many times to get a slightly better shape.

Example diagram 18

Secondly, hats have more room to play.

You can also open the sunshade, which can be used as a prop or an umbrella.

If you are shooting a beautiful woman in ancient costume, an oil-paper umbrella is definitely more suitable than a hat. Refer to the example diagram 18.

However, the space for umbrellas will be smaller.

Holding an umbrella in your hand, you can swing far less than a hat; Throwing the umbrella out ... is not very beautiful, and it is easy to break.

I'm Liu. I love photography and life. Like to share practical photography skills.

Welcome everyone to collect this article and forward it to a circle of friends, and have a look before shooting.
