Photography skill teaching

The following articles are related to the teaching of photography skills that I collected for you, hoping to help you. If you feel good, you can share them with more friends!

First, the skills of shooting portraits

For the physical defects of individual characters, we can use different lighting and take different shooting angles to make up for them appropriately. The main remedial measures are introduced below.

1. People with chubby faces should not take positive images, but their faces can be slightly sideways, and the position of the camera should be raised appropriately to shoot at a downward angle. The illumination angle of the main light should be slightly higher and slightly sideways, so that the face can be projected and the face can look thinner. For the face-lifting type, the opposite method can be used to make up for it.

2. For people with different eye sizes, according to the perspective principle that the lens is near big and far small, we can shoot from a slightly sideways angle and put the smaller side of the eye close to the lens, so that we can shoot the smaller eye a little bigger and make the two eyes look similar in size. It can also be treated with light. The specific method is to arrange the larger eyes in the bright part and the smaller eyes in the dark part to cover up the defects. For people with deep eyes, you can lower the main light and shoot with softer light. Shooting people with prominent eyes can make them lower their sight properly, thus making up for the defects.

3. People with incorrect lip shape can take a slightly sideways angle and use different light to make up for it.

4. For people with long noses, lower the position of the main light and camera, raise the head slightly and shoot from the front. People with flat noses should not take side portraits, but use side light to shadow one side of their noses, so that they will not look flat.

5. For people with thin face, protruding forehead and thin chin, the position of the main light and camera should be lowered and shot from the front.

6. It's easy to reflect when you shoot someone with your eyes, if you ask him to lower his head. And pushing the frame a little higher and adjusting the side auxiliary light can reduce the reflection on the glasses.

7. Other defects, such as cheeks, forehead, eyebrows, etc. You can make up for it by changing the shooting angle and adjusting the light position.

Second, how to take good photos for women

(1) When taking a photo with a natural expression, it is unnecessary for the subject to stare directly at the camera. In fact, the subject's eyes can take a positive film within the range of 10 cm around the lens center, and there is no need to look at the lens center.

(2) The subject doesn't have to laugh when taking a good photo. In fact, a little smile is enough, but don't forget Sean's eyes, make his eyes full of luster and make him look full of vitality.

(3) It is easier for subjects to pose with things in their hands. When taking pictures, the subject should hold his chest slightly and relax his shoulders. And one shoulder should be slightly biased towards the chest, because a slightly inclined standing posture has the natural beauty of women.

Third, how to prevent pinkeye

When a photographer shoots a subject in a dark indoor environment, the phenomenon of "red eye" often appears. At this time, photographers can use the anti-red eye mode function of digital SLR to further alleviate the red eye phenomenon. In addition, photographers can also improve indoor lighting to narrow the pupils and reduce the phenomenon of "red eye".

Fourth, how to take good portrait photography

Keeping the eye level is the easiest way to improve portrait photography. This method starts from the eye level of the subject. For example, when taking pictures of children, the knees should be bent so that the camera and the children's eyes are roughly on a horizontal line. When shooting the subject based on the line of sight level, the photos will be more "friendly" because the viewer will feel the "eyes" of the observed subject, and the eyes are often the most vivid place for a person.

5. How to take clear photos in the backlight?

If the photographer wants to use the gorgeous sky before sunset as the background of portrait photography, but he doesn't want to take the silhouette of the person, the flash picture is not good enough. In this case, the photographer can try to turn off the flash, aim the camera at the sky, then half press the shutter to record the exposure value of the sky or turn on the exposure lock button on the camera, then aim the camera at the person, recompose the photo, turn on the flash, and illuminate the person with the light of the flash. In this way, the characters have enough flash, but the sky behind the characters is still beautiful.

Six, how to capture the moment of jumping?

If you want to capture the moment of jumping, you must first choose the subject of jumping and the background of the picture. Taking the sky as the background will enhance the overall effect of the picture. After choosing the shooting location, fix the camera on the tripod, reduce the height of the tripod and choose the composition. In order to take pictures of people jumping in the air, the photographer should speed up the shutter speed of the camera. Of course, the photographer himself can also be the main body, and at this time it is necessary to use the camera's self-timer mode. First set the composition and exposure combination, and then set the selfie timer to 10 second. Next, the photographer can show his jumping posture in front of the camera.

Seven, sports photography how to focus?

In sports photography, focusing is a difficult skill to master, because the subject of sports photography is very dynamic and fast, and photographers don't have much time to think about focusing. For beginners, it is easier to use the autofocus system on the camera. Although the autofocus system can focus quickly, it can't play its due role if it is used improperly. That is to say, only when the subject is properly left in the ranging frame in the center of the viewfinder can the purpose of accurate focusing be achieved. If the camera is equipped with a lens with a short focal length and a large viewing angle, it is easy to arrange the moving subject in the ranging frame in the center of the viewing frame; If the camera is equipped with a long focal length lens of more than 200 mm, it may be difficult to track the subject and aim at the ranging frame because of the small viewing angle. In order to adapt to this situation, film friends may wish to change the above habits, temporarily ignore the scope of the viewing frame, and only use the ranging frame to track the subject, which may make the feeling easier.

There is also a common focusing method when taking moving photos, that is, pre-focusing, that is, when the subject enters the predetermined focus, press the shutter of the camera immediately. Pre-focusing is very suitable for sports photography, for example, it is ideal to shoot the action of high jumpers flying over the beam in this way. When shooting, you can first focus on a point where the athlete may cross the crossbar, and then lock the focus so that it does not move back and forth. Finally, the photographer can take high-definition photos by pressing the shutter according to the situation when the athletes fly over the beam.
