How to shoot a runway show to capture beautiful moments

How to shoot the runway show, the light source on the runway is complex, and the illumination and color temperature are changing at any time; The model has fast walking speed and short pause time. The limited shooting area makes it difficult to shoot fashion shows and model competitions. Practical experience shows that if you want to shoot a good T-stage performance, you must prepare the equipment, be familiar with the lighting of the venue, improve the shutter speed, find a beautiful shape and capture a beautiful moment. Map/Miao Xin 1. Prepare equipment to ensure clarity. It is best to prepare two SLR cameras, a digital camera with 8 million to160,000 pixels and a film camera. One fuselage is equipped with a lens of 28- 135mm, and the other is equipped with a lens of 70-200mm, which makes it easier to capture. If you use black and white film, you can choose professional SLR cameras with ISO400 or 800. Try to use a large aperture when shooting, which can improve the shutter speed and avoid blurring. Second, observing with eyes In order to capture the best moment, we can see the model's personality by observing the model wearing different styles of clothes, and selectively capture valuable moments, so that readers can see the photographer's unique artistic wisdom and keen observation and judgment ability while enjoying the picture. Because shooting fashion shows and model contests is a photography category between news photography and artistic photography, photographers should not only have good artistic accomplishment, but also have a keen sense of news. Only by diligent observation, diligent shooting and diligent thinking can we shoot outstanding works that are different from others. Due to the need of exhibition, with the rhythm of music and the artistic effect of beautiful dance design, the illumination of light is changeable. In order to ensure accurate exposure, the camera can be set to the aperture priority and the aperture is set to the maximum in advance. When shooting, the shutter of the camera will automatically adjust with the intensity of light, so that the captured image is clear. If the light is dark and the shutter speed is too low, the sensitivity of the camera can be improved to ISO400 or 800, and if necessary, it can be improved to ISO 1600 (but generally, the image taken by ISO 1600 has coarse particles, which reduces the saturation and transparency of colors to a certain extent). Generally, the light source on the runway is yellow. Adjusting the color temperature of the camera to about 3200K before shooting will reduce the yellow component in the photo. The metering method should be determined according to the subject of shooting, and the center key metering or average metering can be used. When shooting a big scene or a middle scene, you can set the average metering; When shooting close-ups, the metering mode should be set to focus in the center. Third, the essentials of grabbing pictures Whether it is a fashion show or a model contest, it needs on-site observation, understanding and refining. On-the-spot observation is to carefully observe the posture, clothing and modeling of each model, excavate its rich facial expressions and various body languages, observe the relationship between the density of the model when walking on the stage and the relationship between the dress and the background, and capture the movement of the model in the process of sports.
