Techniques and methods of portrait photography

The techniques and methods of portrait photography are as follows:

1. Choose an appropriate focal length: In order to highlight the image of the subject, it is recommended to use a camera with a long focal length (such as 50mm or 85mm) to focus on the person.

2. Use natural light: portrait photography uses natural light sources as much as possible, such as sunlight, windows and most lights. Create a warm and soft atmosphere.

3. Adjust the frontal angle: Shooting from bottom to top or top to bottom will make people look flat or short, so try to stand at the same height as the subject and shoot diagonally at him/her.

4. Control the background picture: the background needs to be clear and concise, and the background should be dim or even fuzzy, which will make the characters more prominent. Choosing a layered and textured background picture can make the photo more stereoscopic.

5. Adjust the exposure value: Adjust the exposure value to control the brightness and contrast of the picture when shooting. Especially in the case of strong light, dim background or extremely bright background, change the exposure index of the camera so that normal light can be consumed normally.

Portrait photography is a very important type of photography, and different visual effects can be created by methods such as framing, lighting and composition. The most important and crucial thing is to take photos from the same angle, provide photographers with appropriate information to check the results and give them better feedback.
