What details should I pay attention to when taking a portrait?

First, determine the preferences of the object. Chat with the model through a platform, such as WeChat, and learn about his or her taste in taking pictures, such as whether he or she likes ancient clothes or aesthetic fresh style. Then according to your own preferences, put forward the style and color matching of the dress to make it fit the theme. The advantage of doing this is to deepen the understanding of the model, and at the same time establish a deep relationship between the photographer and the model, so that she can feel your carefulness and professionalism and gain trust. Next, we should think about the choice of scene. For example, you can't choose places with too many modern buildings when shooting ancient costumes. We should choose places that can show ancient flavor, such as classical gardens or bamboo forests. You can watch more TV dramas or movies about ancient costumes to understand this.

In the actual shooting, first communicate with the model, talk about some humorous topics or topics she is interested in, mobilize her emotions and let her relax, which can effectively avoid or reduce the tension during shooting, commonly known as "halo". At the same time, the photographer should give full play to the advantage of his own eyes, capture the expression of the model in time, especially the change of eyes, and consciously guide the model to approach the effect that the photographer wants. The next step is actual combat, so we should go all out.

First of all, it is very important to determine the shooting scene of the model, that is, where she should shoot, which is related to the quality of the film. Scenes with simple background are good choices, such as a large green leaf or blue sky and white clouds, or pink peach blossoms. When the model is standing, it is necessary to observe the reflection of light, so as not to let the light on the face of the character be too flat and lose the sense of hierarchy. The simple understanding is: suppose that when the flashlight directly shines on the face of a person from the front, the face is a shiny thing, and it feels just a plane. However, if the face is illuminated from a 45-60 angle, the position of the person is determined, which is a beautiful gesture. There are too many actions about this beautiful posture to elaborate on one by one. You can see it by searching online, but you must master a principle, that is, don't let the model's face and body face the camera in a plane, you can choose to lean sideways or tilt your head slightly.
