How to take a good portrait photo?

1. Portrait composition retains the most beautiful moment in life, which is the meaning of taking pictures. For a woman who loves beauty, a beautiful photo is like another life. How can I help my wife or girlfriend to take a perfect photo and satisfy her? Every time you bask in your wife's circle of friends, it will always become the focus of envy. The following points are shared with you.

There are three common ways to compose portraits:

1, symmetry method (for China and France)

Use the most traditional portrait composition method to emphasize the main position of the character.

2. Triangle method

A very common way of portrait composition, generally vertical trisection is used the most.

3. Jiugongge composition method

Jiugongge is one of the most common and basic methods in composition. It divides the top, bottom, left and right of the picture into three equal parts and connects them with lines. The picture is divided into nine grids. The four intersections generated by the intersection lines are called "interesting centers" in foreign photography theory, and the subject is most likely to get "eyeballs" near these four points. Many Meitu softwares have built-in templates. If you put photos in, beautiful photos will come out. But the most classic is Jiugongge. This template is very classic, and the photos can't be wrong.

The most widely used portrait composition method forms the visual center of the picture through the intersection of dividing lines, and the effect will naturally not be dull.

Second, portrait lighting There are many kinds of portrait lighting, and there are three common ones:

1, plane light (smooth light)

The advantage is that the details of the characters are complete and clear, but the disadvantage is that the three-dimensional sense of light and shadow is poor, which is what we often call the "plane" of the picture:

2. Front side lights

Compared with the flat lamp, the front side light has a stronger three-dimensional sense of figure outline, which is mostly used for indoor portrait close-up and male portrait shooting, emphasizing the sense of figure outline and line;

3. (Side) Backlight

The light ratio of the picture is large, and the figure has a strong sense of outline. Generally, it is necessary to fill the light appropriately to preserve the facial details of the figure.

If you don't fill the light, you can get the silhouette effect by measuring the bright part of the background, and the picture has a strong sense of outline.

How many people always like to take themselves as the theme, pick up the camera and shoot themselves crazily. No matter what the background is, in fact, finding a better background and taking the background as the theme will make the finishing touch to a perfect photo. The quality of the background will definitely make the photos look different.
