How to plan a suitable theme for fashion portrait shooting?

Fashion portrait photography also belongs to a category of portrait photography. But when you highlight people, you must also have a fashionable atmosphere, so that you can be called a fashionable portrait.

When we take portraits, we usually have a theme. For example, the small fresh style that most people like, as well as retro style, sports style and so on. So how to plan a suitable theme when shooting fashion portraits? You can try to start from the following aspects.

Start with the shooting scene and highlight the fashion atmosphere.

Fashion portraits can be shot indoors and outdoors. Indoor fashion can be highlighted according to the home furnishings and shooting environment with a sense of design, and fashion can also be reflected through artificial scenery.

There are more shooting environments to choose from outdoors. Generally, according to the characteristics of fashion, choose a matching shooting environment. For example, we show fashion through street shooting. Take advantage of the bustling street view, graded commercial street and landmark adjacent buildings. Shooting in such a street environment full of modern freshness shows the sense of current social trends.

Start with the photographed fashion and show the fashion atmosphere.

Fashion is often linked to fashion items, and all kinds of fashions are closely related to people in fashion items. Models wearing current fashion clothes can better reflect the sense of fashion.

Therefore, we can pay attention to the current fashion trends and characteristics, and choose the fashion with a sense of the times as the shooting theme. Through the model's interpretation of fashion, he photographed the moving popular pictorial.

Starting with the modeling of the model, it interprets the fashion atmosphere.

Fashion is not only closely related to shooting scenes, shooting fashion and character modeling. And modeling is to serve the shooting theme. For example, flaming red lips can make enchanting characters. For example, neatness can show intellectual character, such as exaggerated modeling to create an avant-garde feeling, such as gorgeous modeling to create a noble image. Modeling can create different fashion portraits through different hairstyles and makeup.

Start with the demeanor of the model and shape the fashion image.

Fashion portraits need models to express and interpret, so the expressions and actions of models are related to the expressive force of fashion. For example, a model expresses Leng Yan's fashion image with a haughty expression, or controls her understanding of fashion with a confident smile.

When shooting fashion photos, we mainly focus on the word "fashion". We can start with shooting environment, clothing, modeling and model expression to create Leng Yan, luxurious or avant-garde fashion portraits.

There are many kinds of beauty in women, some are pure and some are delicate and charming; Some people are literary, while others are melancholy.

Therefore, to take photos of different models, photographers should plan different photography themes according to the temperament of models and the needs of shooting.

The same model can't be suitable for all photography subjects, and photographers should tailor the shooting plan for the model.

As we all know, the subject matter of photography is closely related to the shooting environment, the model's clothing and makeup, and the model's performance in the shooting process.

The shooting environment should reflect the sense of the times. The shooting environment can be divided into indoor, outdoor and outdoor. In addition to outdoor shooting with fresh and natural background, the indoor and outdoor shooting environment will more or less reflect some sense of the times. This "seasonal effect" is also closely related to the photography theme.

For example, the furniture, decoration style, the form of outdoor architecture and the public facilities on the street can all reflect the "background of the times" of photo shooting. This is why some people take photos of retro style and look for pavilions and ancient buildings as the background.

It seems to be an unwritten rule that a model's clothes and makeup should reflect the fashion trend, such as taking photos, changing clothes and making up. The model's clothing and makeup must be consistent with the photography theme. At the same time, it should also fit the temperament of the model.

The model's clothes and makeup are the easiest to reflect the fashion trend. If it is a popular smoky makeup, girls will draw dark circles and take pictures in exaggerated positions; With the rise of national style, girls will wear Tang costumes and Hanfu to shoot a retro style.

Fashion leads the trend and affects aesthetics, which will lead to different styles of photography subjects. Even the same girl will shoot completely different effects because of the change of fashion trends.

Models' expressions and movements should fit the photography theme to shoot different photography themes, and photographers' guidance to models is also different.

Photographers will ask models to exaggerate their expressions and actions, such as pouting and making faces.

For example, the same "smile", lively, lovely and sweet "smile" and elegant and calm "smile" will bring completely different feelings to others.

Fashion people, I think, are usually related to clothes first. Generally, when I shoot, I decide the style of clothes first, then the shape, and finally decide the shooting plan according to the two.

I don't think I shot well either! Just sharing my experience.

Portraits with fashion accessories, make the accessories that should be highlighted clear, and make the photos smaller in front. When they stand out, the accessories set off people and reflect each other!
