Cos photography skills

With the gradual development of ACG culture in Chengdu, there are more and more secondary photography in comic exhibitions. How to shoot a second-dimensional figure, and how to become a second-dimensional photographer from a photographer? The following are the cos photography skills I have compiled for you for your reference.

Cos photography skills 1 the first 1 trick: the theme is clear.

Is it COSER, still life or the same thing to make cosplay photos have a clear theme? To have content, plot and story, first of all, cosplay photographers should have clear ideas, and then express their ideas, instead of being ambiguous and vague.

Step 2: pay attention to COSER

A good work must attract the attention of the subject, and the photographer needs the audience to notice your COSER at once, because this subject is the core of the photographer's expression.

Step 3: Make the photographer's picture more concise.

Those elements that can't set off the main body or even distract attention should be compressed or excluded. Make the photographer's visual center only stay in the expression of coser's emotional center.

Step 4: A simple way to keep the portrait unchanged.

When shooting, keep a certain distance from the position of the subject and try not to use a wide-angle lens unless the photographer wants to express an exaggerated effect. In general, a lens with a focal length of 80-90mm is more suitable for outdoor portrait shooting.

Step 5: Pay attention to the flexible use of the overall posture.

Let the subject's hands move, such as touching his head, touching his hair, touching his face, taking off his cheek, pressing his mouth, touching his neck, pulling his skirt, touching his arm, akimbo, resting his thigh and touching his feet. In short, hand movements can be freely explored throughout the body, and the core is to keep natural and help express emotions. In addition, you can also hold props to make the image more vivid.

Step 6: Make COSER more natural.

"When I photograph someone, I always want to avoid the way they are photographed." Famous photographer john long Gard said. Obviously, it is very important for the character to relax during filming. When people relax, they will express their emotions more naturally. People are usually embarrassed and unnatural when facing the camera, which requires communication to make COSER forget to shoot. Let the subject stand, bend, lean, sit or lie down according to the scene. Anyway, the more comfortable, the more natural.

Step 7: How to get a shallow depth of field to highlight people?

The way to get a shallow depth of field and blur the background of the subject is to use a large aperture and a long focal length as much as possible, and if possible, let the characters stand as far away from the background as possible.

Step 8: Keep the diagonal composition

In portrait photography, the photographer keeps a certain distance from the subject to avoid the deformation of the characters. Diagonal method is usually the safest in composition. Leave some space and gaps to make the picture deeper.

Tip 9: how to make your COSER POSE?

When taking a portrait with POSE, the photographer should pay special attention to the head and shoulders of the subject. Usually, the head and body should not be in a straight line, and the shoulders and feet should not be parallel.

Step 10: Use busts or headshots reasonably.

If the subject is really difficult to pose, dress or figure is not good, then please try to take a bust or a big photo. At this time, the subject's eyes and expressions should be the only thing to grasp.

Cos photography skills 2.1, clothing. It's a cos suit, which is the essential equipment for all coser, and it's also the most basic. However, for basic reasons, a good cos suit is hard to get, and some are still expensive, but once it is worn, it must be a landscape.

Second, reduction. We all know that the essence of cos is reduction. We should be as consistent as possible with our role. Regardless of language or action, what we need to do is to copy the character 1: 1 as much as possible, so that people will feel that your cos is very successful at first glance, and of course the photos taken in this way are also very realistic and beautiful. Restoring this point is simple and practical, and you can try it if you are interested.

Finally, the most test means, special effects. Today's works of art, except for the realism like Uncle Leng, mostly rely on technology for post-production. No matter the movies or photos we watch, there are strong special effects groups to support them. Who won't take photos when going out now? Taking photos requires strong image processing ability. A good post-production, even if you are a scum, he can make a blockbuster for you perfectly.

Cos Photography Skills 3 1: To correctly understand the secondary culture.

Generally speaking, COS photography is special, but whether it is two-dimensional portrait photography or ordinary portrait photography. If you don't know the related fields and works, and you don't know the presupposition in advance, you can't understand the content and role positioning.

Two: agree on a qualified COSER (two-dimensional character model)

At present, most of the secondary photography is for amateurs or part-time, and COSER is both professional and amateur. Because of the particularity of cos photography, the makeup of the model is very important. So a group of successful photos need to find a qualified model. A model with a complete and excellent makeup and a low degree of reduction in the early stage will have completely different effects.

When we understand the above two points, we really enter the creation of secondary photography.

(1) Appropriate scenario script

A set of films of Cos, most of which have certain stories, or restore the story scenes of virtual characters. Therefore, in the early stage of shooting, COSER or himself should prepare the copied or split script, some original painting settings or screenshots for reference, and be very clear about the desired effect, so that the film can meet the expectations of both parties.

(2) Appropriate guidance

For non-professional models, they are often shy in front of the camera. But two-dimensional photography is often more exaggerated than ordinary portrait photography in action posture and expression. This requires photographers to guide themselves, try to chat with them and praise them. No matter what they shoot to make the model happy and relaxed, the film will naturally look good.

(3) Prepare attachments in advance and contact logistics.

It depends on your movie script or style. For example, the light group needed for night scene shooting; Yuntai and tripod needed for location shooting; Some special angles require different equipment. Be sure to be prepared in advance. As a professional photographer, details determine success or failure. Cos often takes longer to shoot and has more model props. You can contact the logistics in advance by yourself or the model.

(4) The later period is very important.

In addition to the preparation and shooting in the early stage, secondary photography takes up a large part of the content in the later stage, because people and scenes are often virtual. A professional and excellent second-dimensional photographer, but also a powerful original painting designer, and later synthesized a big brother.

(5) stop taking pictures.

Because of the particularity of secondary photography, cos often encounters onlookers when shooting location. It is actually very impolite to stop others from shooting when the model is unwilling.

Finally, all excellent photography is accumulated through continuous shooting practice, from white to professional, as long as you persist, you can succeed.
