Portrait photography, how to express the softness of portrait neck curve?

The neck posture is one of the indispensable postures in portrait photography. He is the hinge connecting the head and the chest. The head shapes of models are straight, side, back, flat, prone, upturned, straight, crooked and horizontal, which will all lead to the change of neckline. The neck line is smooth, slender, stretched and natural. In beauty modeling, the neck line is easily overlooked by ordinary photographers and should be paid attention to.

A curvy neck line can add infinite brilliance to portrait photography. In portrait photography, it is not so much the beauty of the neck as the embodiment of the neck lines. Almost every portrait photo needs to reflect the line sense of the neck, so the beauty of the neck is also very important. In the process of portrait photography, the photographer should observe the pose of the model through the viewfinder in time and adjust the details in time. When you know the beauty of the model, you can stretch your neck upward or forward as far as possible to highlight the neck line and the model's chin. The front and side, the rotation angle between head and chest is large, and the neck of the subject is prone to strong neck ribs, which affects the shape of the neck. The overall shape feels tough, and it is difficult for the general subject to pose like this. In the beautiful pose, if you want to make the subject's face thinner, you can pose this pose.

Shooting experience

When a model poses, don't deliberately ask the model to do some movements, because when the model is not completely relaxed, once it is manipulated according to the photographer's unilateral wishes, the movements will usually appear stiff, especially when the model twists his neck, it is easy for the model to stick his face on the other shoulder, followed by the dull facial expression, and the whole character looks lifeless and very dull, which is also the reason why many portrait works give people strange feelings.

In the beauty of portrait photography, it is necessary to highlight the details of the model to the maximum extent, so we must grasp the posture of the neck. If the neck is not adjusted downward, it will appear that the character has no spirit and the neck is short and thick. When the photographer guides the model to make a beautiful posture, he can let the model stretch his neck to the maximum extent and raise his chin slightly at the same time, making his neck slender and his face angular.

In the process of guiding the model to continue the graceful posture, the photographer should change the action range with different shooting styles. Sometimes some inexperienced models may be unwilling to cooperate with the photographer's guidance. If it is a big neck movement, it will make the model feel strange and can't shoot a good side. But as a photographer, you must have your own shooting position. You can shoot a sample first and present it to the model to gain the model's trust in the photographer's shooting technology, and then continue shooting. Generally speaking, large-scale graceful movements can bring more sense of lines.

In addition, the expression of the model should also echo the beautiful design of the neck. Vivid facial expressions can undoubtedly add points to the elegant and sexy neck curve, make the model's neck beauty look more natural, and avoid the traces of posing.

Photography experience

When showing the neck curve of the model, the coordination of hand movements is also very important. Cleverly arranging the movements of the characters' hands can not only make the movements more beautiful and smooth, but also play a icing on the cake with the perfect echo between them. When the model gently twists the neck, the fingers can be attached to the neck, which will give the viewer a visual guidance and focus on the beautiful neck curve of the model, thus increasing the attraction of the picture to the viewer.
