How to pose for a portrait? (1) (page 1)

Today, we will take you into a world of portrait photography and share the fun of human photography with you! The prize of human photography is curve, which is a natural curve. If you can't reflect natural curves in portrait photography, you can try to make some curves and polylines manually. For example, if you can bend your body, it may be effective. For example, knees, fingers, waist and neck are all movable joints. Try different combinations (such as buying stocks). If the diagonal composition of portrait is well used in portrait photography, it can greatly increase the vitality of the photo. The main contribution of diagonal to photos is to bring dynamic factors, so it is not suitable for "regular" photos. For example, it is difficult to take a good photo with a big head, and it is easy to come out with a slight tilt of the camera. I made this movie. The idea at that time was to use diagonal composition. Diagonal composition of headshots and busts When your model doesn't know how to pose, or has no good figure, clothes or background, you can't say that the model is unqualified. Hehe, the photographer has work to do. At this time, big heads and busts are the first choice. As long as you use diagonal composition flexibly, you will find that clothing, background and even figure are secondary. When taking color portraits, we must make the background excellent and concise, so as not to steal the shot, especially the bust and full-length portraits. I'm not saying that the model is not important. Beautiful models and photographers earn a lot of money, hehe) This film has a simple white background, and the colors of the models' clothes are simple, so the pose is even simpler. If there is no pure white background, you can use white or light-colored sheets instead, and then use a flash to hit the background. The background exposure is 2 steps larger than the figure. Diagonal composition of bust I mean the movie that the model shot from waist to knee. At this time, most of the models' bodies, especially their hands, were made in films. Like the bust, the key is how to set the hands of the model. Hands and arms have many postures. You can use the method of "bending" in front, or you can stroke your hair across your waist. In many poses, the model puts her hands on her thighs (at this time, you can also borrow props, such as solar static electricity, hats and handbags, to help the model pose. This film is a diagonal composition of the model with her hands on her thighs. Of course, the clothes at this time must be more avant-garde. This is no longer portrait photography, but fashion/charm. The film was shot in an underground parking lot where the temperature is only about 0 degrees in winter, so the model's expression and posture can easily achieve the effect required by the photographer. The color of the clothes is in harmony with the simple background and the photographer's idea. Now that we have mentioned charm, let's talk more about it. The common means in Charm are diagonal composition and low angle. As mentioned earlier, diagonal composition gives people the feeling of restlessness, and low angle gives people the feeling of "voyeurism", which is said to be glamour's killer and even eroticism. The film downstairs is a low-angle oblique home. Another feature of low angle is that it can avoid unnecessary things on the ground and make the composition concise (this is one of the three major disciplines in new york's textbooks), and another feature is that it can construct a diagonal line by using lines in the background. This is especially useful for black and white charm/fashion. Black and white glamour/erotic portraits don't need a simple background. Instead, we should make good use of the smiles and lines in the background. Similarly, form a diagonal line with lines in the background. Or use the corner. The wide-angle lens exaggerates the obscenity, voyeurism and even pornography in the film (I don't think it is appropriate to translate it directly into pornography). Photographer kenn's works are all fine erotic. I like his style. Please pay attention to how to use low angles and diagonal lines in the background, so don't comment on the model. Wide angle plus low angle plus diagonal composition of background. Please pay attention to diagonal composition in portrait photography, and it is best to shoot vertical composition. It is also a diagonal composition with wide angle, low angle and background. Personally, I feel a little too big, leaving room for the background and not making good use of it.
