The skill of taking pictures in front of the mirror

Want to take a beautiful selfie in front of the mirror? So what are the good selfie techniques? The following are my collection of tips for taking pictures in front of the mirror. Welcome to read the collection.

1, with a mobile phone in one hand and a cute pose in the other!

When you hold a mobile phone, you certainly don't know how to put the other hand. As long as you simply follow the Korean girls below, you can be cute. Do you think it's easy? So you don't have to put your hand in your pants pocket to take pictures.

2. Half-length/full-length photos

If you are not familiar with mirrors, you can learn from simple gestures. Just learn to keep your head down or look at the camera of your mobile phone, put your hands in your pants pockets, or be at the mercy of your hands. If you want to take a full-body photo, you just need a simple posture! Because it will be beautiful.

Step 3: Get down.

If you want to pose a personalized photo, you might as well learn to squat and take pictures! Crouching photos can also decorate your legs! So for girls who are not tall, I strongly recommend you to shoot like this! I can't see my height when I am squatting! And it also seems that you are domineering and temperament!

sit down

You like to take many photos at once, just choose one. I suggest sitting in front of the mirror and taking pictures! This is also a little less tiring, and even everyone can see your character from the sitting position! Because sitting on the ground can have many postures, cross sitting, feet backward, etc., it is suggested that girls with long feet can choose to sit and take pictures!

5, close-up avatar

If you look in the mirror, you don't have to take a full picture, you can also take a big picture! Is it a bit monotonous to use your mobile phone to directly self-ie? It's better to take a big photo in front of the mirror, which is much cuter, and you can see your own mobile phone case in the mirror reflection!

Creative photography skills

1, turn the camera.

Under normal circumstances, you should hold the camera well when shooting to ensure that the picture will not be blurred by the vibration of the camera during exposure, but in fact, turning your camera in a planned way can make the picture abstract and add a bit of artistic color, especially when shooting in different light sources or at night. The trick is to slow down your shutter so that you have enough time to catch light. Horizontal movement and rotation are also common techniques in shooting.

2. Adjust the focal length (pop) when shooting

Adjusting the focal length when shooting (commonly known as "pop-up") is actually changing the focal length when the camera releases the shutter, and the picture will be full of motion. It is a very simple shooting technique, but it is only suitable for zoom lenses.

3, creative focus

Who says the focus must be on the subject? In fact, sometimes turning the camera to manual focus and deliberately letting the subject deviate from the focus can make it feel like an oil painting. You can also try!

Step 4 shoot from a low place

Try to shoot at an ultra-low angle, so that the subject feels different from what the naked eye sees every day. If you add a wide-angle lens, you can highlight the main body and show an exaggerated effect.

5. Expose your photos on purpose

General photos will require "correct" exposure, and will not be overexposed or underexposed, but in fact, sometimes deliberately overexposed photos can also express a "science fiction" effect.

6. Flash with slow synchronous shutter.

When shooting portraits at night, you can use the slow synchronous shutter to absorb more live light and use the flash to "solidify" the subject. If you add the "pop-up" technology mentioned in Tip 2, you can take creative photos.

Step 7 shoot from a height

Compared with the "low shot" in Skill 4, we can also capture the picture from another angle, that is, shooting down from high altitude. In addition to shooting from the plane, you can actually use the tripod extension cable release or self-timer function to achieve this effect. It is recommended to use a wide-angle or even a fisheye lens, and the photos taken will be more interesting ~

8. Multiple exposure

Multiple exposure means taking multiple photos on the same negative. You can use one normal focus and one out of focus to add artistic color to the photo, or let a person appear in the photo many times like "separation". However, it should be noted that some entry-level cameras do not include the function of multiple exposures, so you need to rely on the "layer" technology of Ps.

9. Increase noise

When the ISO value increases, although the shutter can be made faster, the noise will also increase relatively, making the photo appear uneven. However, if we deliberately add noise and cooperate with the appropriate environmental atmosphere, photos will immediately bring nostalgia and film sense, adding flavor to ordinary photos. ...

10, custom white balance

The correct white balance can of course make the photo accurately show the light color of the environment at that time, but if we deliberately change the setting of white balance, it may bring out another special atmosphere and effect! The picture above shows automatic white balance on the left and manual white balance on the right. The picture on the right can bring a dark and melancholy feeling.

1 1, make good use of the shutter

Door B means that the shutter is always open for exposure until the photographer presses the shutter button again. This technology can make very dark places colorful (such as the suburbs at night), and can also be used to shoot star tracks and fireworks.

12, infrared photography

BBE infrared photography is more complicated, because you need to modify your camera or add an infrared filter, but the effect is very special, like black and white photos, but not the same. If you use a filter, the light will be blocked a lot. It is recommended to use a tripod or improve ISO.
