Portrait photography skills for beginners

Portrait photography has always been an important category of photography. As a photographer, how can I take a good portrait? Look down there.

1, ask yourself why you want to take pictures? What kind of photos do you want to take? Take time to think about these questions, and you may get many answers.

2. Make more preparations before shooting, and take all possible shooting situations into consideration.

3. Learn technology, and then forget it.

4. Technology can be improved by learning, but technology itself can only play an auxiliary role. Your personal style and lens language are the most important.

5. Observe your model through your lens, and also observe yourself from the model's point of view. Does your lens make the model feel uncomfortable? Will the content you want to shoot please the audience?

6. Ask yourself what you can do or say to bring you closer to this model. Your attitude may determine the mood of the model.

7. Guide the model, but don't guide the model.

8. Don't have prejudice and unrealistic expectations.

9. Always be curious and have no distractions. Imagine yourself as a newborn baby. Everything in this world is new to you.

10, trust your intuition and press the shutter bravely. Maybe your impulsive shooting is not good, but I believe that after years of hard work and the accumulation of wrong experience, you will get better and better.

1 1. Although composition and lighting are absolutely important, your subject must go beyond these.

12, trying to shoot areas that you are not good at, and getting out of your comfort zone may not necessarily make you successful, but it will make you discover a different world.

13, when it comes to the composition and overall balance of the picture, don't ignore the details and observe your theme from different angles.

14, don't try to "make" photos, but create conditions for photos to "happen".

15, do you love music to shoot the most exciting theme? Then use photos to interpret the music you love. You love nature, so go out and take pictures with your camera.

16, every stage of shooting should be organized and planned. Planning can make your work more efficient.

17, thanks to all those who helped you.

18, forget everything above.
