How to take a full-length, half-length and close-up portrait?

Lead: Different shooting ranges have different shooting skills. Let me explain them one by one.

First, how to take a full-body photo

Taking a full-body photo of a character is to present the whole body of the character on the screen. Full-body photography can be divided into standing posture and sitting posture according to the posture of the characters. How to shoot a satisfactory picture effect will be explained in detail below.

1, standing posture

If people adopt a standing posture, the proportion of their photos will become smaller, and background processing becomes very important. Especially when choosing a background, novices should try to consider some simple dark backgrounds, which usually makes it easier to highlight people.

? Shooting skills:

The model in the picture should also try to avoid standing straight. The photographer can guide the model to move the center of gravity of the head or body slightly and make some actions appropriately.

2. Sitting posture

If you are taking a full-length photo of the figure sitting, you can ask the model to pose with his legs bent and his knees hugged. Compared with frontal shooting, side shooting can make the waist of the model look slimmer and highlight the beauty of the lines of the model. If the model is wearing close-fitting clothes, remember to tuck in the quilt. When taking a full-length photo, the placement of the model's feet can also bring changes to the picture. Basically, the center of gravity should only be placed on one foot, avoiding the exertion of both feet.

? Shooting skills:

Full-body photo Because we want to take the whole model into the picture, we have to deal with more contents, such as the proportion of the model in the photo, the relationship with the background, posture, clothing modeling and so on.

Photography skills:

When shooting people's standing posture, we can use some props, such as handbags, dolls and other auxiliary tools to cover up the defects of people's figure or shape. Of course, these props can also beautify the picture properly. Sitting posture, we can let the model sit at 1/3 of the chair, which can make the model have the effect of reducing abdomen and beautify the lines of the legs of the characters.

Second, how to take a bust

Shooting a bust refers to shooting the thighs or upper thighs of a character, including thighs, waist, hands, chest and head. Half-length photos can be divided into half-length photos and upper-body photos. Most full-length photos generally include the part above the legs of the characters, and upper-body photos include the part above the waist of the characters.

Because upper body photos and half-length photos allow models to completely occupy most of the photos, they can also reserve a part of space to explain the background of the characters, and then with the changes in the posture and angle of the models' hands and heads, as well as the accessories on their heads, they can get ideal results, so taking half-length photos is relatively the easiest way to deal with. Therefore, it is not difficult to find that in all portrait photography works, half-length photos occupy a considerable proportion. Just like a special portrait, you should pay special attention to the model's expression when taking a bust. A good expression can fully show the emotional world of the characters.

? Shooting skills:

In the specific shooting, the model can lean against the wall, hold the back of the chair, lean sideways on the sofa and so on. It can not only make the related objects set off the main body to a certain extent, but also increase the model's sense of security.

? Shooting skills:

Bust must pay attention to the facial expressions, eyes and other details of the model. Dealing with these details can make our photos better.

Photography skills:

If the model is beautiful, we can take more half-length photos or close-ups, because taking half-length photos has lower requirements for photographers' photography level, so we can practice with it. At the same time, because the characters occupy most of the photos, the requirements for the scene are not high. Smaller rooms and narrow corridors are ideal places to shoot busts.

Third, how to take close-up photos

Close-up photos are more effective than close-up photos, which can make a part of the model fill the whole picture and reveal the inner characteristics of the characters from subtle points. Close-ups are more important Q: It reveals the inner movement of the picture and looks at the essence through nuances.

The key to the success of close-up shooting is that the photographer should have a unique vision and be able to capture some parts worthy of close-up. Close-up will give people a very strong visual impact, and you can shoot directly without complicated factors such as composition and shooting skills. Close-ups are generally used to show the more characteristic side of characters or body parts, and of course, they also include some scenes with special significance.

? Shooting skills:

If the facial contour of the model is clear and beautiful, it is very suitable for close-ups. The eyes of characters are often close-ups, because people often say that the eyes are the windows of the soul, through which you can see the inner feelings of characters.

? Shooting skills:

Although you don't have to use complicated shooting techniques, you should also change the shooting angle appropriately, remember? Straight man? Take a close-up portrait carefully. Keeping the neck of the character while shooting will give people a deeper and more attractive feeling.

Photography skills:

When shooting close-ups, the light and color in the scene are very demanding. It is best to highlight the characters in the scene by contrast (color contrast, ancient and modern contrast, etc.). ) and complementarity, so that viewers can start thinking according to the focus of the picture.
