Shooting skills of excellent male models in portrait photography

Is it aesthetic fatigue for the camera to keep looking at beautiful women? The camera for a beautiful man may cheer you up! There are many kinds of handsome guys, some are very handsome, some are full of wild temptations, and some are exquisite and beautiful, comparable to beautiful women!

How to take a portrait of a beautiful man? Shooting beautiful men is the same as shooting beautiful women? Do you have any specialties? How to make men cooler? Sexier? More masculine? Let's share the shooting skills of male model photography and discuss the mystery with them!

Secret!

First of all, young sunny man

Just some records in life:

This kind of life-oriented, youthful film is usually taken by me carelessly (the model basically doesn't dress up). For example, in the afternoon in a coffee shop, I walked to a street or a path and felt that the light was good and the scene was good, so I took a photo at random (of course, I had to bring my camera). This kind of film is not only a portrait, but also records the years of friendship, and it is often difficult to copy and has very precious memories.

The expression of style is first related to the model itself. My models (usually friends) are young and handsome. Therefore, liveliness and temperament must first be the model's own or potential, and then I will guide and play when you shoot.

Blue sky is the purest and cleanest background;

My original movies are set in the blue sky, which is probably the best background. The empty blue sky allows you to play freely and let you suddenly sprout many innovative compositions; The blue sky is clean and clear, and it is easy to match; The blue sky is simple, so that the picture is not easy to be cumbersome even if there are many props and accessories. The open environment and sunny days also make the subject have a good performance.

Let clothes and props add color to the picture:

I think the most intuitive expression of youthful and lively elements is in two aspects: clothing and props.

Generally speaking, it is suggested that the model's clothes should be bright and lively, and the props can sometimes talk and polish the film to bring a sense of story. But many people have many colors in a photo, even the colors of props and clothes are very strong, which requires more attention to color matching.

Capture and pose:

The most natural films are often captured films, but not everyone is the most beautiful when they are most natural. Therefore, it is necessary to capture and pose a group of rich and good movies.

Ordinary movies are the result of communication. I will tell the model how I want to feel before shooting, and it will be OK when shooting. As for big close-ups, you usually pose, which requires an interaction between your hands and face to coordinate.

Second, mature wild men

Trust is the foundation of people's worship;

Communication is an indispensable part of portrait photography. The purpose of communication is not to let him accept your ideas, but to let the photographer's ideas and the model's ideas reach a common point, and then let him have full trust in you, so as to achieve the greatest way and stretch his heart. Finally, your snapshot will be natural, and every look and micro-expression of his body will be so clearly visible.

But the way of communication with male models is different from that of beautiful models.

Men need to be worshipped and women need to be loved. This sentence is equally valid in this shooting. Careful care of female models will increase their natural dependence and softness, and make female models more willing to show femininity in front of you.

Men naturally love face, so you should praise him, praise him, communicate with him more, and help him show the charm of men hidden in his heart! At the same time, the wildness of a man comes from the nature of conquest and curiosity, so give him a sense of story as much as possible when communicating, and arouse his desire for conquest and curiosity!

Shooting male models pays more attention to inner expression.

Photographers generally pay attention to the figure curve, skin quality and temperament of beautiful women. There are many sexy things about men: deep eyes, waiting lips, unyielding chin, generous shoulders and strong limbs. The shape of a man's hips is as important to women as a woman's chest shape is to men!

When shooting men, I pay more attention to the richness of my inner world than my appearance. I have to have the patience to dig the most sincere things, and the expression from the inside out is the foundation of masculinity.

Therefore, the expression of emotion is put in the first place in the shooting picture. A good model's photos will give people the illusion that the model is not looking at the camera, but at the person who looks at the photos through the lens. Such emotional photos often make people who look at photos ignore the five senses and various environments.

A good male model photo lies in the reasonable expression of the model's sense of environment. I call this state emotional composition, which is more important for shooting male models.

Key Techniques of Shooting Wild and Mature Men

1. concentration: a man is in a state of concentration, which can not only produce strong inner strength and exude masculinity, but also make you feel his desire to conquer and rich psychological experience!

2. Angle: I shoot male models from the perspective of the structure of the picture story. For example, the strong angle is mostly the upper angle, the tangled angle is generally 45 degrees on the side, and the deep angle is generally the top of the head. Of course, it also depends on the expression habits of the model. Composition mainly serves the story sense of the picture.

Third, handsome and fashionable men.

Eyes are the most important expression:

The eyes are of course one of the most important parts in portrait photography. My works usually have a theme, and I will let the models express some emotions through their eyes to fit the theme. After making good preparations, the next step is to take pictures according to your feelings.

Communication makes shooting smoother:

Portrait photography has no special skills. The main thing is to communicate with the models in advance, so that they can understand the effect to be achieved, and then what kind of performance to perform.

In addition, when shooting, you need to observe the contour characteristics, body characteristics, what kind of clothes are suitable for wearing, and which angle looks perfect. In short, photographers and models should be able to think, and everyone can trust and cooperate with each other in order to shoot good works.

Professional portrait shooting is basically makeup and modeling. It takes an average of 1 hour for male models to dress up, and it takes longer if they are stars. All kinds of clothes will have their own characteristics.

One advantage of shooting male models is that they will help share photographic equipment when shooting outside, hehe.

Let the picture be unconstrained in the later stage:

Post-production is as important as pre-photography. You can do what you want in the future. Different ideas will have different post-processing!

The background is often simple when shooting, but the increase in the later period is infinite. As long as you have an idea, you can try your best to do it through other software. Specifically, to show a fashionable man, you can consider adding some fashion elements. The most important thing is that the model can be perfectly combined with the elements added later, and there is no flaw. This is the place to test the designer's skill.

Fourthly, more creative male model photography.

1. The man at the wedding is also crazy:

Novel props and interesting themes all require an interesting picture. Besides being cool and handsome, men can also show humor and even show their feminine side.

2. Black and white picture expression:

Use black and white pictures to make the picture simpler. Under the light and shadow, men can not only show the beauty of outline, but also show the seriousness and gloom of men.

3. Make the later artistic conception more profound:

Bold colors, bright flowers, who said only for girls? When used in male photography, it can also increase some visual impact. At the same time, the appropriate later stage makes the picture richer and deeper.

4. Low angle increases visual impact:

Short-focus lens can be used to take large low-angle photos of the scene at close range to increase visual impact.
