Pre-photo tutorial

The tutorial of early photo shooting is as follows:

Communication with models, preparation of props, determination of shooting location and time, selection of shooting equipment, selection of lighting, guidance of models, composition and background, accumulation of aesthetics, attention to details, end of shooting, timely backup and summary.

Before each shooting, I will communicate with the model about the shooting theme or style at least one week in advance, and send several sets of samples to the model to convey the shooting effect I want more intuitively. At the same time, the model can grasp the shooting effect in advance.

When I communicate with models, I usually determine both clothes and makeup. In view of my favorite shooting style, the clothing is generally based on the model's own clothes, and I usually choose solid colors, suspenders, long skirts or antiques to avoid messy patterns and colors. If there are no clothes suitable for the theme, I will prepare to buy them online. Clothing should be determined in advance, because online shopping takes time.

For makeup, there is no special shooting theme, such as ancient style, and the general model can handle it by herself. I will tell you to pay more attention to your hair, such as eyelashes and hair. If it is not handled well, it will waste a lot of time in the future.

The embellishment of props can not be ignored, such as flowers and fruits in private photography, hats and umbrellas in location, etc. Prepare corresponding props according to the shooting theme to make the finishing touch for the work. Especially for novice models, props can also alleviate the embarrassment of "being at a loss"

In addition, the camera itself can also use some props to increase special effects. For example, putting stockings or scarves in front of the camera, or coating a layer of vaseline on the UV mirror, especially in private photography, will make your photos soft and hazy and enhance the appeal of your works.
