Teach you to shoot a portrait with beautiful atmosphere.

Lead: As long as you make full use of the light source of the external environment or guide the body movements of the model, it is absolutely not difficult to shoot beautiful and romantic works by pressing the shutter at an appropriate time. First tell you what essentials to master in portrait photography in order to take good photos!

First of all, the silhouette in the sunset

There are two common backlight shooting effects: one is silhouette effect, and the other is "side light" effect. Silhouette effect is an artistic photo in which the subject is placed in a bright background, and the exposure is based on highlights to make the background clear, and the subject forms a shadow outline due to serious underexposure. The exposure of silhouette is done by spot metering in the sky. The high light ratio and Gao Fancha enhance the backlight effect, achieve the purpose of outlining the clear outline of the subject and strengthening the subject, and have wonderful artistic modeling effect.

Second, use the beautiful glare under the backlight.

Under the backlight, the characters' hair will be more obvious, the edge line of the body will also be presented, and the presentation of the characters will be more vivid. At this time, we can try a more bold and innovative shooting method, that is, the sun will be included in the picture, so that not only mysterious high spots will appear in the picture, but also a series of dazzling lights may appear, which will make the picture have a special atmosphere.

Third, high-gloss images show fresh temperament.

What is high-profile photography? This is actually a concept derived from black-and-white photography: to distinguish the tone of a photo by the ratio of gray to white in the picture. Black and dark colors are low-key films, while white and light colors are high-key films. The highlight processing method of photography is to choose a bright or white background, while the main characters are mostly bright or white, so that the bright part of the theme is deliberately submerged in the background. Most of the works are white to light gray tones, plus a small amount of dark black tones.

Fourth, the low-light image is full of artistic conception.

A low-key picture is a picture tone formed by contrasting a large area of dark color with a small area of bright color, which is an artistic expression of setting off a dark subject with a dark background. In a low-light tone picture, the tone levels from dark gray to black account for most of the picture, and a small amount of white is often the skin color and clothing of the characters, which is particularly obvious and bright in a low-key picture. The key is to find the background with dark color or light, and the contrast of light can also effectively create low-light photos. In the regional light environment, people can also be placed in the position where light shines, and the contrast between people and dark background can be increased by using the camera's tolerance, so as to achieve charming low-light effect.

Fifth, the telephoto segment highlights the main features.

The telephoto lens compresses the positional relationship between the subject and the background and foreground, and shortens the distance between the subject and the viewer. At the same time, the scene depth of telephoto shooting will blur the foreground and background, or even completely blur. Therefore, if you want to use the contrast between the subject and the foreground and background to emphasize the subject, you often need to shoot through a telephoto lens.

Sixth, freeze-frame jumping posture

Snapshot refers to the vivid moment of people's activities captured directly by the photographer without the knowledge of the subject. The combination of waving and grabbing means that in the whole shooting process, the subject knows that someone is taking pictures of himself, but does not say the specific shooting time, so that the subject's mood will be relaxed and the action will be more natural. After choosing the best angle and light, the photographer presses the shutter at an appropriate time.

Seven, fashion Cosplay modeling

In recent years, Cosplay has become a new fashion trend. Cosplay means "role playing" or "dressing up". The rapid development of cosplay is largely due to the influence of Japanese comics. When shooting Cosplay, try to make the shooting effect conform to the original imitation object. When shooting, you can shoot from different angles to achieve the desired picture effect. In the process of shooting, we should be good at the action style of The Imitation Game's prototype characters, and don't be too limited by composition.

Eight, color and black and white dialogue

In life, we often see black and white elements and color elements in a photo. If the black and white elements in the photo exist as the background, the color elements in the black and white will be particularly conspicuous. This shooting technique of using black and white background to set off color elements is called "color extraction". The first method is to choose black, white and gray background from the photography technique to highlight the models wearing colorful clothes; The second method is to use post-processing software to process the background outside the characters in the picture into black and white tones. In contrast, the effect of the first method is more natural.
