Six easy-to-master photography and family photography skills?

The Spring Festival is coming, and there are more and more parties. There are more and more opportunities to take group photos and family photos. Everyone is used to recording precious time with a camera, but most of my friends are not very professional photographers, so the photos taken are very ordinary. How can I take a professional family photo? Today, I will bring you some family photos and six tips for taking group photos. Mastered these six tips. Handheld ordinary mobile phone or digital camera. You can also take professional group photos and family photos. I'll take you to get to know it.

1, indoor family photos should be used with caution.

General group photos, party photos or family photos are all taken indoors. Indoor lighting effects are generally difficult to master. Let alone an amateur photographer. It is also difficult for professional photographers to master indoor lighting. So ... take group photos and family photos indoors. Use the flash as carefully as possible. Taking a group photo indoors is easy to make the subject blush, especially in the dark environment with a flash. The use of flash makes the already dim scene even dimmer, and the shooting effect can be imagined. So we should turn off the flash, switch to a bright scene and improve the ISO sensitivity. You can also shoot with a large aperture and a slower shutter.

When taking a family photo indoors, you can use natural light as a light source. When shooting, open all the windows in the room to let the light fully shine into the room, but it should be noted that the subject should face the window or let the light shine on the subject from the side, do not turn his back on the light, and do not let the light shine on the subject from the left and right sides at the same time, so as not to damage the facial beauty. If there is a small ray of light shining into the room, it is best not to let the light shine directly on people, so as to avoid the situation that the light in the area is too bright and overexposed. If only natural light is used for illumination, the contrast is too large, and a flash can be used as auxiliary light in front of the subject to reduce the contrast.

When taking family photos outdoors, pay more attention to the background and composition.

Take a family photo outdoors, and the layout can be arbitrary. If there are not many families around 10 with beautiful scenery as the background, you can take the scenery as a perfect whole and then line up the characters into the picture, which can be one third of the vertical width. Taking people as the background can make the group photo have beautiful ornamental value. If there are many families, the scenery is average, and people are the main composition, arrange the characters first, and then give due consideration to the background. In order to make the characters stand out in the photos, you can arrange the characters in several rows before and after to reduce the width of the formation.

Try not to use a wide-angle lens when shooting a family photo with a large number of people and a long and narrow formation outdoors. When using a wide-angle lens, there is often a distortion phenomenon that the middle picture is big and the two sides are small, which looks very uncomfortable. The best way to avoid this distortion is to change a standard lens. However, when the wide-angle lens must be used due to the limitation of the venue, the formation can be changed from zigzag to circular arc, and the camera is located at the center of the circle, which can improve the distortion phenomenon to some extent.

3. The shooting position should be as consistent as possible with the eye level.

The easiest way to improve portrait photography is to start with the eye level of the subject. For example, if you take a picture of a child, you should bend your knees or even tuck in your abdomen, so that the camera is roughly level with the child's eyes. Shooting up or down will distort the subject, and the closer the lens is, the greater the distortion. When shooting a subject horizontally with eyes, the photo will be more "friendly" because the audience will feel the "eyes" of the subject they observe, and the eyes are often the most vivid place for a person. When taking a family photo, we try to choose a main line that can connect all models' eyes. Keep in line with the photographer's lens to make the family photos more vivid and real. Pick up the camera and try it.

4. The natural and warm atmosphere is very important. Make full use of indoor props.

Natural and warm atmosphere is very important, this is called family portrait. We don't have to go. We can make the whole family pose or line up. Nature and warmth are the essence of family photography. When taking a family photo, you don't have to pay attention to neat arrangement, as long as it can be harmonious and intimate. You can make full use of the furniture, chairs, sofas and even the floor at home, or squat or sit, or lean or lean, so that the formation looks uneven and changeable, fully showing the active and warm family atmosphere. Of course, before pressing the shutter, everyone can shout "eggplant" together, which will make everyone in the photo smile.

5. When taking a family photo, always capture the wonderful moments.

The purpose of family portrait is to reflect the warmth and harmony of the whole family. Even if you don't stand in front of the camera, you can take a warm family photo. You can pay attention to the scene of the whole family eating or chatting, and take a family photo with a bright smile centered on the elders. However, it is still difficult to capture the picture, so a photographer needs a lot of practice and is good at discovering that he will capture the perfect family photo scene. Leave some performance space for the background. There are pictures in my head and body, so it's easy to feel monotonous. Paying attention to the discovery of background can cooperate with the foreground subject and give you unexpected good goods. For example, when playing in other places, we should pay attention to the use of background, which can leave room for our memories. Why not?

6. There will be surprises when shooting from several angles.

Shooting angle is a skill that all photographers must master. If you are a photographer. You can try to use your eyes and lens as a camera. At the cinema. Did you find out? Some pictures have a unique perspective, so they can impress you deeply? So is photography. The shooting angle is very important. It is easy to create different surprises and effects. The angle of view also has a great influence on the shooting effect, and the conventional shooting of group photos and family portraits can no longer meet the appreciation level of people now. Therefore, it is best to change the perspective and use a new perspective and way to layout and shoot. For example, you can shoot from top to bottom, which can also clearly depict the expressions of the characters.
