How to take photos for girls

Tips for taking pictures for girls:

1. How to compose the picture?

Although you don’t need to pay attention to composition or artistic conception when taking pictures for your girlfriend, because she pays attention to The focus is always just on whether you look good or not. Well, that’s right and it’s hard to refute. But to say this, the premise is that you already understand the basic principles of composition. No one can imagine that when taking pictures at tourist attractions, if your girlfriend is photographed in such a small person, the scene is large, and a passerby is alone, she will say it looks good?

a. Highlight the subject

Although composition is a reflection of a person's aesthetic ability, many people don't need to learn it, and their photos just look better than others. Yes, reality is so cruel. If you are unwilling to look at composition rules, aesthetic angles, etc., then remember this sentence: "Let the Queen be the only focus in the photo." That's right.

There are two ways to highlight the subject when photographing people:

First, the photographer gets as close to the model as possible and takes the view at a low angle. Let the characters occupy more than half of the space in the picture, and then cover it with landmark buildings, and you have the basic elements of a good commemorative photo;

The second is to rely on the model's on-site expressiveness, the expression and body language of the girl. It is undoubtedly more eye-catching, and dynamic is more appealing than static. It is best for men to turn on the continuous shooting mode at this time!

b. Golden Section The golden section method, as the name suggests, divides the picture into three parts with two horizontal lines. Divide it equally, and then use two vertical lines to divide it into upper and lower thirds, so that the picture is divided into 9 equal squares. The 4 intersection points formed by the 4 dividing lines are what we call the golden section. If we allocate the subject on the golden section line/point, it will be more aesthetically pleasing than centering it.

Placing the character in the center will look a bit dull, but if it is placed on the golden section line on the left, it will look more flexible. Just like the seats in a classroom or a movie theater, the best vision is not the center position, but the position of the golden section (that is, to the left or right).

c. Take pictures of the sky and the ground to avoid cluttered backgrounds

In many cases, it is difficult to find a trip that you can go on with your girlfriend during the holidays, thinking that you can finally walk around. Out of the blockbusters. But the cruel thing is that when you have a holiday, others also have a holiday. The phenomenon of huge crowds of people and cars during tourism is familiar to everyone in China. But the girl doesn’t care. She will ask you to take various photos of her on the grounds of wearing new clothes, going to new places, etc.

At this time, you can only kneel down and ask "heaven" and "earth" to help you - because overhead shots and upward shots use a simple and unified sky and ground as the background, and can be reasonably and skillfully avoided. Flow of people. Looking up to make her look taller is also a good opportunity to show off her long legs; when looking down, she has a big head but a small body, so you can stand on a high place and joke and amuse her. As long as your expression is good enough, you can have a good-looking photo. Whether a photo is good or bad, a woman only cares about her own face, so taking an overhead shot is a very safe thing.

2. Scene

a. Eating

I don’t know since when, everyone has developed the habit of taking photos and posting on Weibo before eating, so what? , taking a beautiful photo of the girl eating before eating is very helpful to enhance the relationship.

b. Night

Many people have reported that it is not easy to take good pictures of people at night. There are many reasons. First of all, if you are using a mobile phone or card camera, shooting at night, especially in places with insufficient light, will basically cause hand shake and high noise. The correct way is to find a place with lots of lights and use the background blur effect to The beautifully lit picture highlights the female characters.

3. Angle

Every girl has her own attractive side, that is to say, there are no unattractive girlfriends, only photographers who are not patient enough. In this section, we will talk about how to guide the model’s positioning, and how the photographer can frame the scene to maximize its strengths and avoid weaknesses.

a. How to stand

We can remember one principle: the lines of the model's body should not be parallel. One person facing the camera straight has a completely different effect than another person's front and rear feet, height and low shoulders, and side head. To sum up, it means headache, face pain, mouth pain, waist pain, stomach pain, etc. In short, as long as your body is not in a straight line and your body curves are beautifully displayed, it will be a good photo.

b. Accessories conceal body defects

It’s not that fat girls cannot take good-looking photos. Girls with a chubby figure can weaken their shortcomings by wearing dark clothes and matching appropriate accessories. , and also avoid taking photos wearing clothes with large waist and sleeves. If you must wear these to take photos, you can use arms or accessories to cover up some flaws in the photos, but the most critical factor in looking slim is your posture.

c. One white skin covers all ugliness

Becoming thinner and whitening is the ultimate goal of every girl. Girls all like their skin to be white and tender. This can be achieved very quickly with simple operations. When shooting, you can generally brighten the skin a little bit, and the skin will be in good condition. But this still depends on the on-site exposure and the model’s skin condition.
