Key points of portrait photography perspective

Lead: When representing portraits, the placement of camera position is also very important, including shooting direction and shooting height. Different shooting directions will present different portraits on the front, side and back; Different shooting heights will show prone, flat and upward shooting angles. We can make the portrait more expressive by changing the camera angle.

The shooting direction shows the portrait form.

When shooting portraits, the images taken will be different due to the different angles of the subject facing the lens, which can generally be represented as front portraits, side portraits and back portraits. When the subject is facing the camera, it can produce solemn beauty and symmetrical beauty, but it is easy to appear dull; The subject is at 90 degrees to the lens? When the angle is displayed as a profile portrait, the picture will be more lively and can show the three-dimensional sense of the portrait; When the subject turns his back to the camera, he appears on the back of a portrait, which visually makes the viewer feel distant and associate with the appearance of the person, so the picture has a large imagination space.

Above, the character is facing the camera. Diagonal composition and people's walking posture increase the dynamic performance of the picture. So as to avoid the rigidity of the frontal portrait.

In the picture above, the model stands sideways at a 90-degree angle to the camera. Angle, better performance of the curve characteristics of the characters, so that the characters get three-dimensional performance. The camera height determines the portrait perspective.

According to the height of the camera, the shooting angles of prone, flat and upward are displayed. In overhead shooting, the position of the camera is higher than that of the subject. Because of perspective, people's heads will appear larger, showing the level of overlooking the scenery, and the depth effect of the picture is obvious; Flat shooting is the most commonly used shooting angle, and the plane position is flush with the line of sight of the person, which conforms to people's visual habits and makes the portrait look flat; Shooting up can make the figure look more slender, showing a perspective effect of small body length, which is a perspective to modify the portrait.

Above, the sitting portrait is represented by a low-altitude backhand. The legs of the characters close to the camera are more slender under the performance of wide-angle lens, which shows the charm of the characters. Generally speaking, the camera position should not be too low, so as not to make the figure appear out of proportion.

In the above picture, the portrait was shot in a higher position, and the head of the figure was raised to reduce the deformation caused by overlooking shooting. In the close-up portrait taken from above, the eyes of the characters appear bigger and the outline lines of the shoulders stand out.
