Suggestions on indoor framing and lighting of private houses Generally speaking, there are two main indoor scenes to choose from when shooting private houses:

hotel

Advantages: the indoor layout is relatively simple, and there are few sundries, which is conducive to framing. At the same time, the interior decoration of some hotels is also very distinctive, which can better combine the theme.

Insufficient: The orientation of the predetermined room type cannot be guaranteed, which often leads to the difference between the actual environment and the expected shooting plan. Some hotels are decorated in modern style, lacking some literary atmosphere.

Suggestion: When booking, try to ask the room to have large windows, preferably gauze curtains, wooden floors, bathtubs and other elements, which will be conducive to shooting.

During the period of living in the local residents' home.

Advantages: Shanghai's B&B is actually relatively bright, with many designers' elaborate works, and the shooting environment is diversified and distinctive, so it is easy to shoot unexpected effects.

Disadvantages: Most of them are reconstructed from old houses. The light is often dim, there is a lot of furniture and things are messy.

Suggestion: Focus on rooms with relatively clean walls, and it is best to simply move the furniture to make room for shooting.

Of course, the basic composition of the indoor environment is similar. In order to improve the shooting effect, here are some experiences to share with you:

When sunlight enters the room, if the light is hard, you can pull the gauze curtain to soften the light, or try to make light and shadow lines with blinds to increase the interest of the picture.

When the indoor light has obvious directionality, the model can be required to face the side of the body to the side of the light. Photographers shoot with side light or side backlight from the framing position, and the obvious light-dark boundary on the characters will increase the three-dimensional sense of the whole picture.

? When the scene is dim, there is no need to rush to seek supplementary light and keep it dark. Pictures are also a good choice. There is no need to deliberately brighten the picture in the later stage, and if the details are lost, it will not be worth the loss. If you can let a faint light shine, you can try to make a little silhouette light or decorate the characters in some dramatic ways.

Narrow indoor space will limit composition. In order to avoid the interference of the environment, I will use close shot and middle shot more, and decide whether to compose horizontally or vertically according to the actual environment. In places that are not spacious enough, vertical composition is usually easier to remove debris on both sides.

? In fact, the utilization rate of shooting mirrors indoors is very high, especially in a narrow environment, which can enrich the picture elements, broaden the field of vision and even create fantastic colors.

? Looking for foreground structure can increase the visibility of the picture, at the same time, it can form a certain occlusion to the characters and avoid too straightforward performance. For example, shoot through the glass, or simply shoot the reflection on the glass.

When shooting the reflection on the glass surface, the shooting angle should be adjusted according to the position of the person to make the reflection clearer and more complete.

There is also the way I usually use silk scarves as a foreground, that is, adding silk scarves in front of the camera to form a hazy and soft effect with a sense of color. When shooting, you can choose scarves of different colors according to the scene environment and matching needs. Of course, the same scarf can also be used as a background, such as on a variegated sofa or bed, to get a clean background tone.

? From point to surface, in detail. I sometimes take some comparisons? Extreme? Details, hoping to produce more free associations, such as hands.

In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to pose professionally, and it is not easy for professional models to pose easily. I often tell them, what kind of feeling is comfortable? Think of yourself as a tired person and just want to find a place to lean on. Whether you are standing, sitting or lying down. The key is to focus on any place where you feel comfortable.

? ? I don't quite agree that some photographers make models make distorted gestures for some effect. Even if you take a close-up, I hope that the whole person will be stable and have appropriate support points. Only the parts that can't be photographed are also relaxed, and close-ups will convey the feeling of relaxation.

? Even if you don't rely on it at all, such as standing there, let the model stay in his own rhythm and avoid rigidity. For example, the common standing posture is to shoot while walking.

Or just shoot when the model is in a state of adjustment, such as when tidying up underwear or long hair. I usually observe while chatting with them. When they were talking, a certain look or action touched me. I would stop at any time and press the shutter while their original feelings were still there.
