Take a picture of a beautiful woman.

If you want to see the model better, a fixed-focus lens is essential. It provides a larger aperture and allows you to shoot a blurred background to highlight the aesthetic feeling. We are the first to push the 50mm lens, and the blur effect is super good.

The focal length is very important.

35mm, 85mm and 135mm are all focal segments widely used to shoot portraits. The longer the telephoto lens, or the longer the telephoto end of the zoom lens, the stronger the background blur ability. The focal length of 70-200mm, which most professional photographers love, can have perfect and dreamy out-of-focus imaging even if the aperture is not very large. More importantly, the compression of telephoto can make the face thin and beautiful!

Between the camera and the model

Although distance produces beauty, it cannot be generalized here. In the range of the closest focal length, the closer the camera is to the model, the stronger the background blur. If the photographer is too far away from the model, even with a large aperture, the whole picture will be taken. Therefore, the maximum aperture, such as f4, is generally used at a long distance, which can have a better blur effect. If you take a big photo, the aperture should be f4 or even f5.6, which can make the model's eyes clearer and more moving.

Between the model and the background

The theory that distance produces beauty is applicable here. The farther the background is from the model, the more blurred it is. If the model leans against the wall, it means that the model and the wall are almost on the same focal plane, and the desired background blur effect cannot be obtained.

Out of focus is another kind of hazy beauty.

When we regard the clarity of photos as the primary criterion of good photos, out-of-focus is an excellent opportunity to break the routine. Out-of-focus seems to be more able to vent some emotions, and the hazy and illusory picture makes the viewer feel like he is in a dream fairy island, which makes people feel like they are back to their childhood. But it is a bit difficult to make the camera out of focus, because the machine is a machine, it doesn't understand any emotions, and it is its duty to focus accurately. So you need to set the camera to manual, and turn the focus ring to move the focus out of the focal plane before pressing the shutter.

Of course, a good photo can't usurp the role of the host. Shallow depth of field can effectively blur the complex background, thus highlighting the main body of the model, but what if it breaks the routine? You might as well keep the background, explain the environment, or make the background more dramatic and colorful through techniques. Tired of looking at portraits with blurred backgrounds, super wide-angle shooting technology with people and scenery is popular now, which can easily lengthen the picture and shape long-legged beauty.

Having said so much, how to shoot?

Find the background first, use the wide-angle lens end and narrow the aperture, such as f8, f 1 1, which can effectively increase the depth of field. Then let the model stand or sit on a high place, and the photographer crouches down and shoots obliquely from bottom to top. But this angle needs to avoid exposure, protect and respect the model.

So how to focus quickly? It takes a little skill.

First of all, don't move the focus one by one. Instead, press the shutter half-way to lock the focus (eyes), then pan the composition up and down (not back and forth) and shoot it completely by the shutter. When shooting, you can set the camera to automatic multi-point dynamic tracking focus mode in AF mode.

It is worth mentioning that this is actually a mode of shooting birds, but even birds can be captured in this way, let alone people!

Waiting for an opportunity to shoot. Perfect capture

In fact, the shutter speed is only one of the decisive factors for the subject of the snapshot movement, and more importantly, the person who uses the camera. It is a magic weapon to have a certain foresight of the actions to be taken by the model. A photographer can't wait until that decisive moment to temporarily take off the lens cover, pick up the camera, focus and compose a picture. When you have a premonition that a wonderful picture is coming, focus on it roughly, construct a good picture, hold the camera, right! No matter how heavy the camera is, always hold it and stare at the observation window.

Photographers, like snipers, blink or doze off are bad habits, because important goals will be fleeting. In addition to the above, photographers and models need a good understanding.

Tacit understanding takes time to cultivate, and time needs to be squeezed. Even if they cooperate only once, models and photographers should have more contact, not to mention they can often chat online, and intimate greetings on birthdays can also leave opportunities for future cooperation.

Stabilizing the camera is not easy.

Joe McNally, a world-famous photographer, once said, "No matter how many pixels you hold a camera, if you don't hold it steady, how many pixels are meaningless." Yes, in order to hold the camera for a long time and wait stably when taking a snapshot. You should practice the legendary iron arm magic in peacetime, but how?

Take your camera out to practice at any time and record your life, your relatives, your friendship and your love. In a subtle way, the magical power of the iron arm became a reality.

In the case of non-professional shooting, photographers usually shout one, two and three to let the model know that shooting is about to happen, and they can brew emotions before shouting three. But for most people, can that moment really make people enter the best photo state? Have you ever suspected that this state may be the most unnatural posture and the most abrupt expression? Even in the photos, we have seen the expression of wide-eyed and pretending to be serious, just like a Woodenhead!

If you want to take a kind and natural portrait photo, the correct way is to adjust the light and focus. When everything is ready, tell the model that this is just a shot. Then what is not taking pictures, but chatting with models and telling jokes. When the appropriate gestures and expressions are in place, they are surprised and caught off guard, and the natural side is photographed.

Feel the movement with the lens

Why do we often see very dynamic photos in various magazines, but we can't take them ourselves? Professional photographers often use slow shutters to create a dynamic atmosphere, which makes the model's dynamics easy to show and very dramatic. In portrait shooting, tracking shooting can make the moving figure clear and the background blurred, which can fully show the dynamics of the picture. Of course, by combining the flash with the front curtain synchronization and Hou Lian synchronization settings, you can even control whether the blur is in front of or behind the character.
