How to take a portrait of cherry blossoms

How to take a portrait of cherry blossoms is as follows:

1. With the help of props from ...

The cherry tree is a little tall. Try to borrow a ladder when shooting, so that the model can get on the ladder or stand on it, so that the model can better combine with the cherry blossoms when shooting.

2. Clothing collocation

Cherry blossoms are basically white and red, so it is best to choose light-colored clothes such as white and gray in clothing collocation. For example: white, gray and other light-colored clothing and cherry blossoms are relatively coordinated; Warm colors such as yellow, red and orange will be more prominent with cherry blossoms. If you wear warm or cold-proof clothes, the color of the clothes must not be too bright, otherwise it will appear abrupt.

Use light

Compared with the portrait of rape, the portrait of cherry blossoms can be boldly photographed by side light/backlight, because the cherry trees are large and have many flowers, which can block part of the light, thus forming a very beautiful light leakage effect. When shooting, use the light leakage formed by cherry trees to shoot, and the light and shadow effect will be great.

Step 4 use the backhand angle

As I said before, the cherry trees are a little high, so you can shoot them back when shooting, so that the cherry blossoms and people can be better combined. But remember to make the model's face sideways, not straight, or it will look big.

Pay attention to composition

Composition is one of the techniques that can best express the meaning of the picture. Remember not to slap the branches with flowers horizontally and vertically.
