What do you mean, take a picture without a haircut?

Don't cut your head when taking pictures, which means don't take your neck as the dividing line of composition, or just shoot your head, or just shoot your body and only "cut your head".

On the issue of beheading, this is relative. Sometimes it depends on how the photographer chooses and whether the photographer's personal style cares. Compared with photographers with strict composition, they will habitually pay attention to such issues as haircut, but sometimes only the angle of haircut is the most beautiful, and most photographers will choose to press the shutter.

The solution to prevent the horizontal line from passing through the human head;

(1) When shooting, choose a background without horizontal lines. This method can be solved from the root. Moreover, when the composition is centered, it should be noted that the left and right sides of the background should be relatively symmetrical, so that the photos will look more stable and beautiful. And if people are moving when shooting, we should pay attention to adjusting the shutter speed to avoid shooting empty with the left hand as shown below.

(2) Other solutions can also be to adjust the shooting angle, shoot up or down, avoid the horizontal line of the background, or change the distance between the photographer and the subject.
