How to take a picture to show white?

To whiten the skin, we should mainly start with makeup, clothing collocation, light application, shooting angle, post-adjustment and so on:

First, make up according to the skin condition of the subject.

Generally speaking, when taking portrait photos, you should make up. When making up, make up the characters properly according to the shooting needs and the black and white condition of the skin, so that the skin will be better.

Second, the appropriate clothing mix.

When taking portraits, you should take white skin, and the collocation of clothes also has an impact on the skin. Therefore, we should choose elegant colors, such as light blue and light pink, because light-colored clothes reflect light and make the skin feel white. Wear less clothes with dull colors, high purity and strong contrast.

Third, the shooting light should be good and even.

If the ambient light of the portrait is not good, the camera can't perceive the skin color well, so the skin looks dim and not white. And the light should be relatively uniform, so you can't shoot at a large light ratio.

Fourth, the choice of shooting angle

There are three kinds of portraits: smooth light, side light and backlight. If you choose a portrait shot in reverse light, the skin of the character is dim and opaque. So it is better to use side light or smooth light.

Fifth, the method of post-processing.

In the early shooting, the skin permeability and whiteness were not the expected results. We can use post-processing to polish and brighten the skin color, so that the skin of the characters appears white and transparent.
