Portrait Photography Appreciation 20 19 Activity

When we take portraits, we must first determine our theme, whether the style is syrup tablets or positive films with some environment.

Only in this way can we determine what lens to use. Compared with the camera, the lens has the greatest influence on the final imaging effect. If you want to shoot sugar water tablets with small depth of field, then you may need a lens with a focal length of more than 85mm; If you want to shoot some environmental feature films, then about 35mm is the best; You can also choose 50mm, which will also have a certain background blur effect and bring a little environment.

Even if you have a standard zoom lens, such as 24-70mm, you need to choose the focal length according to the theme when shooting, rather than how to make the whole film in a mess, which is also one of the problems that novices are prone to make.

Of course, we should also pay attention to controlling distortion when choosing wide-angle end. But don't be afraid of distortion. Good application is also a kind of creativity.

As for camera settings, here are some suggestions:

First, try to use full manual.

Second, the aperture should be matched with the focal segment.

You should know that the depth of field is determined by distance, focal length and aperture, so your aperture should match your focal length and shoot the theme style you want. In addition, novices should pay attention to the problem that large aperture is easy to run out of focus, and pay attention not to use large aperture when shooting at a long distance, otherwise the photos will be "virtual".

Third, roll the party shutter quickly.

The shutter must be fast, at least above1100. If it is a snapshot, it will be faster. Of course, sometimes you will encounter poor light environment, so you must grasp the balance between aperture, shutter and ISO.

Fourth, don't be stingy with IOS.

Yes, don't be stingy with your ISO. Don't always use indoor 200, outdoor 100. Now the camera is getting better and better. If necessary, it is not a problem to drive to 800 or 1000. Moreover, there are so many good noise reduction plug-ins waiting for you to try.

Fifth, shoot in RAW format.

Finally, of course, remind everyone to shoot in RAW format for later adjustment.

This is the lens and camera settings you should choose to take a portrait. Pick up your camera and take the first group of photos of important people in your 20 19 years.

Which camera should I choose to take my portrait?

Camera is not as important as lens, lens is not as important as light, and light is not as important as model quality …

Before and now, Canon (photo studio, travel photography, activity photography, contract photography) is the most used brand of portrait camera, but its advantages are getting smaller and smaller, and any brand of camera can shoot good portraits.

Aside from modeling and environmental protection technology, full-frame cameras and high-quality large-aperture fixed-focus lenses are the first choice for portrait shooting. Mainstream Canon, Nikon and Sony all have modeling options, including Panasonic, which has just entered the field of Quan Huafu.

There is no only choice. Every company has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is suggested to make your own budget first, match the choice of camera lens and accessories according to the budget, and then compare horizontally among brands, and choose your favorite according to the quality, price, operating habits, appearance and face value of camera lens.

Thank you for inviting me to talk about my thoughts and views on this topic.

1, photography lovers all know that people choose Canon and landscapes choose Nikon. If I mainly shoot portraits, I will definitely choose Canon 5D4 series SLR body and 85-F 1.8 fixed-focus lens. I believe this collocation is very good, with large aperture and excellent background blur effect. When shooting portraits, the skin color is true, and the new focusing system controls the accuracy of face recognition and exposure very well, with sharp image quality. With the help of 30 million pixels, the details of the picture are excellent.

2. Canon 5D4. The basic parameters are as follows: Quan Huafu high-end SLR camera, which was launched in September 2065438+2006, has a body of about 800g and effective pixels of about 30.4 million pixels. Sensor type, CMOS, touch screen, optical viewfinder, continuous shooting speed, 7 frames per second. I believe that the ultimate goal of all photographers is the Quan Huafu SLR camera.

Taking portraits outside is shooting on location. I don't think the brand of the camera is very important. After all, photos are not supported by camera quality, and camera model is not the way to choose!

I feel that it is much better to take good photos, choose a good lens, choose a good model and choose the style you want to shoot than to spend time choosing a camera. After all, all kinds of cameras can take good photos, and you can't blame the camera for not taking good photos!

I prefer telephoto for location shooting. 85mm and 70-200mm are very useful telephoto lenses with strong perspective. If there is no 70-200, I will use body double 85, and I will still make a film! What's more, even if the current micro-camera has a lens matching of 70-200mm, it is better to choose the camera from a long-term perspective, so don't worry about whether the camera is good or not!

For the shooting of portrait works, it should be said that Canon will be chosen without objection. It's not that the Canon camera is good, but that the Canon portrait is excellent.

I personally shot it with Canon 5D4, so let me talk about some features of this camera.

Canon camera has a good imaging effect in portrait. As shown above, the facial details of the model are very soft, with white inside and red inside. The picture is transparent and clean and pure. The lens is 50 1.4, and the sharpness performance is also excellent. Jiao Wai's ambiguity is soft.

Canon 5D4, as a high-end full-frame camera of Canon, is also very suitable at the current price. Let's not talk about the specific parameters, just talk about the feeling of use. The weight of the fuselage is not light compared with the micro-single, plus the lens, it will be very tired to hold the camera for a long time. I usually take 70 200 F2.8 to shoot, which is really heavy, but the photos I take are still very satisfactory. Tired is tired.

Many people say that the high sense of 5D4 is not good, but according to my experience in portrait shooting, I think the high sense of portrait shooting is absolutely enough, not as bad as the legend. As shown above, both highlights and dark parts have good details. I have no problem taking portraits.

Have the money to buy Canon 5d4 or 6d2,

If you have less money, you can buy a Canon 200d.
