Essentials of model shooting characters' posture

Lead: When taking a full-length or half-length photo of a character, the posture and shape of the subject are very important. To make the posture of the subject beautiful, you must master the following skills:

1. The head and body should not be in a straight line.

If the two are in a straight line, it will inevitably feel dull. Therefore, when the body is facing the camera, the head should turn slightly to the left or right, and the photo will look elegant and vivid; Similarly, when the subject's eyes look directly at the lens, turning his body to a certain angle will make the picture look vivid and dynamic, and increase the three-dimensional sense.

2. Arms and legs should not be parallel.

No matter whether the subject is sitting or standing, never let his arms or legs be parallel, because it will make people feel stiff and mechanical. The correct way is to play the same song all the time or form a certain angle between them. This can not only cause movement, but also change posture.

3. Try to have a clear figure curve.

For female subjects, it is necessary to show their charming curves. The usual practice is to let one leg of the character actually support the weight of the whole body, and the other leg is slightly lifted and leaned against the standing leg. The arm should be rotated to show its narrowest side, and the chest should be bent through the waist to show its towering and plump feeling as much as possible. At the same time, the character's hand can be placed on the hip to provide the necessary width for the picture.

Step 4 avoid sitting in a trap

Don't let the subject sit in the chair as usual when showing his sitting posture. If so, her thighs will be at rest, so that the fat part at the upper end of her thighs will protrude, making her thighs look clumsy. The correct way is to let him go forward, sit near the chair, chest out and abdomen in order to avoid the phenomenon of drooping shoulders and protruding abdomen.

5. The lens should be far away rather than close.

Generally speaking, it is better to take pictures of people from a distance than from a distance. Because when the lens (especially the lens with short focal length) is very close to the subject, deformity will occur. Therefore, when shooting, we should choose a lens with appropriate focal length and keep the lens at a certain distance from people. According to practice, we know that the best distance is 6? Between 8 feet; The bust is at 8 o'clock? Between 9 feet; Take a full-length portrait to (13? Between 22 feet is appropriate. In addition, keeping the subjects' hands and feet close to the body helps to avoid the occurrence of deformity, and once they are more than 18 inches from the front and back of the body, there will be a disproportion, and the hands and feet will become too big or too small.

Show good posture

The hand of the subject is not big in the picture, but if it is not placed properly, it will destroy the overall aesthetic feeling of the picture. Pay attention to the integrity of the hand when shooting, and don't let the hand feel deformed, broken or incomplete. If you put your hands on your hips or put them in your pockets, show some fingers to avoid giving the impression of being cut off.
