Should close-up shooting focus on people or scenery?

Whether shooting indoors or outdoors, we all take people as the main body of shooting, and such portraits can be called environmental portraits. The pictures we take must have environmental protection content. Instead of choosing a background cloth to shoot like a portrait.

Therefore, even if we shoot portraits indoors, we should also reflect the characteristics of the environment, such as home environment, indoor furniture, courtyard design and so on. Pay attention to the control of aperture when shooting. The background can be blurred, but there must be some details. Whether to shoot with small aperture or large aperture depends on the specific environment and depth of field. For example, it is very magnificent and spectacular to shoot portraits of the environment in the vast nature outdoors, so we use a small aperture to shoot people with such a beautiful background.

To shoot a group of rich environmental portraits, you can show them from different angles. For example, a large scene dominated by full-length portraits, a middle scene dominated by busts, and a local environment dominated by close-ups. This kind of scenery shows the characteristics of the environment from many angles and leaves a deep impression on people.

The environment is as important as the environment.

Because we take a portrait of the environment, the environment is an important element in the picture. For example, the romantic flower sea, the ginkgo forest in autumn, and the Qingshi Hutong in the ancient town. The characters are set off by the environment, which renders the picture atmosphere. This is what we call scene fusion. Therefore, when shooting portraits of the environment, there must be a proportion of the environment in the picture. As for the proportion of the environment in the picture, it should be decided according to the picture and scene you want to express.

When shooting portraits of the environment, it is most important to express the characters, and the choice of the environment serves the characters.

. Shooting environmental portraits pays attention to the perfect fit between people and scenery. Therefore, the modeling of the model should match the environment and theme. Moreover, the model's demeanor and movements should also conform to the environment and theme, so as to achieve the purpose of setting off people with scenery and touching people with emotion. At the same time, the photographer should also control the proportion and collocation of the environment so as not to usurp the host's role.
