For readers who have been skilled in using cameras, it should be basic composition thinking, including three-point composition, golden section composition, center, radiation, triangle and so on. But what elements are combined with composition to make the image more in line with summer customs? In this chapter, we will introduce the shooting scene and the image effect to help readers shoot passionate and energetic summer portraits.

Looking for the color elements of Xia Feng.

If a photo only pursues simple composition, although it is quite beautiful, it will often become without image personality and soul. To shoot these exclusive summer close-ups with enthusiasm or business, the first condition is to find a matching scenic spot. The water environment such as beaches and harbors can make viewers intuitively combine with summer.

There is also a straight view that the model's clothing modeling should be light and cool. Whether it is a lovely, translucent tulle skirt, Nanyang Wind Salon or bikini, it is quite suitable for dressing up, and accessories include hats, straw hats and sandals. If you want to try personalized modeling, you can also cooperate with large-area plastic frame sunglasses.

It should be noted that sunglasses worn on the face are also easy to become the visual focus, so it is best to pay more attention to the choice of frame shape and color matching, and match them with the selected clothing. Black and white frames are usually easier to match. If you have no experience, you can give priority to these frames before challenging personalized sunglasses with brighter colors.

Model guidance and expression of suggestions

People's emotions are also the focus of guiding the senses of the works. If lively and happy Xia Feng is the main theme, the model's expressions and emotions should be expressed with youthful feelings, and natural and happy expressions can best conform to the summer customs. Of course, you can also set the theme as the summer of missing. However, the thoughtful expression of the sun and the model is relatively difficult to combine. If you want to challenge such a theme, you can try a wide angle, and the characters use a small proportion of body movements.

The composition of upright portrait does not balance the picture with horizontal lines, but takes shadows and branches as visual guidance, and cooperates with the model to make the picture have a comfortable and natural rhythm.

The sand-proof bamboo fence is arranged on the beach on the right side of the screen, and the lines of the bamboo fence extend to the upper left to guide the visual focus to the model's face. The lines of straw hat and bamboo fence also vaguely echo, and the warm color is quite in line with the summer style.

Photography skills suggest that you can shoot with a wide-angle fixed-focus lens and strive for shutter speed with a large aperture, which can be used to condense the dynamics of running on the waves. A slight tilt of the horizontal plane will increase the motion of the picture.

Flexible composition and shooting environment

The shooting environment is Jinshan Beach, North Shore, Changhua Fu Bao Wetland, Rouzongjiao in Zhang Bin Industrial Zone, Nanliao Fishing Port in Hsinchu and Taoyuan Industrial Zone. Scene elements include beaches, abandoned fishing boats, wind turbines, ports and docks, and characteristic buildings.

When shooting the composition of coastal areas, if you take out the blue sky, you can shoot at a low angle. At this time, the horizontal line will fall below the picture. If a horizontal line is introduced, the picture will be relatively stable, but the composition will be relatively rigid. If the horizontal lines are removed, the stability of the picture will be weak. If you shoot in sand dunes and other places, you can avoid the limitation of horizontal line, but the visual balance will refer to the vertical line of the surrounding facilities or the center of gravity of the model. In this shooting situation, we can use the proportion, corresponding position and color of people to the surrounding buildings and facilities to balance the picture, and of course we can also deal with the stability of the picture through color composition.

Another interesting idea is that the sunshine in summer is stronger than other seasons, so we can also actively use high-speed shutter to capture the atmosphere of running and playing. But when shooting this kind of image, we should pay attention to the problem of image jitter. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens, in combination with the camera's autofocus tracking and continuous shooting mode. The wide-angle lens can still have a deep depth of field under the large aperture setting, thus avoiding the blur caused by defocusing when people run. The shutter speed is suggested to be set above11250 seconds, which can condense the moment of summer activities. If the lens aperture used by the reader is small, the sensitivity can be appropriately increased to increase the shutter speed.

When shooting, you can roughly grasp the proportion of models in the picture. After confirming the shooting angle with LiveView, you can shoot at a fixed distance and speed from the model. At this time, the horizontal line or vertical line is not necessarily fixed, and a slightly skewed angle will increase the jumping feeling of the image and faithfully present Xia Feng's happy mood.

Using the beach, sea water and sky to form three color blocks, the model's body and arms are placed on the three-point composition line, and the line of sight vaguely faces the lower left of the picture, echoing the abandoned fishing boats in the visual focus, and skillfully combining the beach environment with the three-point composition.
