How to shoot a good-looking portrait?

If the outdoor portrait looks abnormal, you can try to create your own shooting effect in the foreground. If you like scattered scenes, then you may have tried various methods to shoot. Why do photographers like scattered scenes? Because they can shoot things that are not real and can't be seen directly by the naked eye, they need to shoot with the help of cameras and shooting equipment. How to achieve it?

Ef 85mm f/ 1.2L II USM/ manual exposure (F/ 1.2,11.250 seconds) /ISO 400.

The beautiful pink in the photo is caused by the flowers in the shooting place. Make a pink filter with this flower. The result is the effect of standing in a pink cloud.

Required equipment: medium telephoto single lens

In order to create a clear shooting effect on flowers, an optical lens with a large aperture must be used to obtain a shallow distance. You can use a telephoto lens. Same, but not too far from the model.

Therefore, don't use a long lens. A medium telephoto lens, such as Canon's EF85mm, is an ideal lens.

First, check the position of scattered scenes in the real-time display image to make the flowers more blurred, move the lens closer to the flowers and use the images in the real-time view to check the position and quantity of scattered scenes. Check and avoid this situation: the lens in the foreground is at a disadvantage.

In this photo, there are some scattered scenes in the foreground. On the edge, these figures are too sharp, not as soft or dreamy as you want. The scattered scenes in the foreground are too far away from the model, which leads to uneven picture composition.

Second, choose a place with dense flowers, so that the portrait style is as close as possible to the bouquet, which is convenient for creating a scene effect that is scattered before and after. Check and avoid this situation: blank, too white.

When the model is standing in the position where there are too few flowers, the image elements in the image are displayed as blank. In addition, the sky looks very white when shooting backlight from behind. This causes the picture space to look chaotic. Although the scattered scenes in the foreground are important, the background can not be ignored!
