How to make good use of color psychological suggestion in portrait photography.

To make good use of color psychological suggestion, we must first understand what language color represents, and then we can understand what psychological suggestion color plays in what environment.

For example, red represents hot, bright, violent, bloody and other potential languages.

For example, green represents potential language such as vitality, life and excellent ecological environment.

For example, blue represents the potential language such as melancholy, calmness and coldness.

After knowing the language represented by all colors, we can accurately grasp the tone of the whole picture by means of character makeup, clothing modeling, lighting control and post-digital, so that colors can be organically unified in a picture.

The pictures introduced below are all excellent works with color hints as the main tone. It is not difficult to see that the proper use of color will often have a strong impact on the vision. The use of the main color tone in the picture can be single or a combination of multiple colors to jointly express the psychological hints you want to express.

When you take a portrait, you should show the emotions of the portrait, which can be expressed directly or indirectly.

Direct expression is to directly express the emotions of portraits through the expressions and actions of models in portrait photography.

As we know, people's emotions are divided into four categories: joy, anger, sadness and joy, which are most directly expressed in their faces.

Laugh when you are happy and cry when you are sad.

We take portraits, most of which have faces. In a group of portrait photos, the proportion of people without faces only accounts for a small part of the total. In most portrait photography, models should be exposed.

So we just need to let the model express emotions directly through expressions and actions.

The indirect expression of portrait emotion is not as obvious as the direct expression.

The audience has to experience from the photographic works.

Of course, photographers have to add rendering to their photographs through various shooting methods to give the audience enough psychological hints.

For example, use color to give psychological hints to the audience.

For example, black gives people a solemn, mysterious and low-key feeling; Red will make people feel warm, restless, unrestrained and lively.

Then we can use the color matching in the picture to bring emotional hints to the audience.

Let the model wear any color she wants to express. According to the warm and cold tones of colors, the audience's senses are stimulated, so as to achieve the effect of expressing emotions.
