I am a beginner in photography and use 18_55. The scenery I took was good, but the photographer was ugly. Is it my technical problem or is 18 ~ 55 not suitable for people?

It's not the camera. Need some skills:

Methods/steps

1 overlooking

Overlooking shooting can highlight the theme of the portrait, and at the same time make the background as simple and clear as possible. It can make a small place with style in the scenic spot, but it will not be too complicated. Common sense can make the picture more stretched by shooting from a height or letting the subject sit down.

2 unique perspective

Having a unique perspective is not very demanding for photographers, which means that head-up is not necessarily the best way to shoot. For example, looking up is more cohesive, dynamic snapshots are more dynamic, and sometimes unique perspectives are more interesting and fascinating.

Three kinds of natural movements

Of course, taking photos with friends and relatives will be as natural as possible, but what I want to say is that the involuntary or deliberate posing of the subject will often appear stiff, and nature will always be the theme of portrait photography.

4 diligence and light compensation

Whether it is cloudy or backlit, filling the light is something that photographers can't forget all the time. Especially when it is backlit, the sunlight will leave a beautiful outline or hairline on the theme. This is to use a reflector or flash to fill the face, and there will be unexpected gains.

5 Head protrusion and cutting

Focusing on the eyes of the characters will make the subject more radiant and full of charm. This requires us to highlight the head of the main character, or cut off the head appropriately to show the eyes and even psychology of the character.

6 background processing

The background of ordinary people will be blurred or feathered, not with computer software, but with the large aperture or medium-long lens of the camera. Only in this way can we highlight the theme of photography and better express the aesthetic feeling of the characters.
