What are the skills of flower portrait shooting?

It coincides with the season when spring returns to the earth and flowers bloom. We often say that flowers are like women, women are like flowers, and flowers are an excellent subject for shooting, but it is not easy to really shoot well. Therefore, in the first issue, the anxious teacher will share with you some experiences in shooting flower portraits. I hope everyone can take satisfactory photos after seeing the portrait of Huahai! !

TIPS 1: Choose a good scene.

A good scene, like a good stage, is the basis of "acting". When shooting portraits in a sea of flowers, it is undoubtedly wise to choose an inclined flower field: it makes the plane scene three-dimensional, and it is easy for photographers to fill the whole background with flowers, giving readers a grand hint of the scene, and with the gradual change of depth of field, fiction and fact become layered.

TIPS2: An Important Element in the Foreground

If the foreground is used properly, it will make the work different. Moreover, because the flowers in the foreground are close to the lens, according to the principle of depth of field, the blur is particularly severe and the defocusing effect is particularly soft, which is easy to create a romantic and aesthetic atmosphere. When using a wide-angle lens, due to perspective distortion, people's lower limbs are often too thick and too long, and the foreground can also play an appropriate role in "covering up ugliness".

TIPS3: telephoto blur &; compress

The flowers and branches in the background can be blurred appropriately, and they can look hazy and beautiful. Because flowers and their branches and leaves are numerous and too clear, the background will appear messy, and people will be buried in them and unable to stand out. To blur the background, you can use a lens with a large aperture or a long focal length. If the aperture of the lens used is not large enough and the blurring ability is limited, it is necessary to keep the characters away from the background. At this time, it is very advantageous to use a long focal length lens. Its blur ability is strong, and its unique sense of compression can narrow the distance between the background and the person and avoid the separation of the person and the scene due to the distance.

Tip 4: Remember to bring a ladder.

When shooting high flowers such as rape, sunflower and reed, the model may be submerged or only show a small part of her body when standing among the flowers. Photographers are also tied behind because of the flowers, so it is very necessary to carry one or two portable ladders. With the ladder, the photographer can shoot from top to bottom, the composition is more flexible and diverse, the position is higher, and more scenes can be shot, while the model can stand on the ladder and show more bodies.

TIPS5: Composition determines everything.

1. Make a composition with a frame composed of flowers or their branches and leaves, and frame the characters inside to stand out.

2. Using flowers and trees with different colors to form a contrast of color blocks can avoid the monotony of the picture. In the picture, pink peach blossoms and snow-white pear blossoms complement each other, and it is another spring.

TIPS5: Composition determines everything.

3. Cross-use of high and low positions: high positions can bring extraordinary visual effects to readers, and also allow photographers to fill the whole picture with flowers when facing small areas of flowers; The low position can highlight the sky and make the film more atmospheric.

TIPS6: the basis of location shooting of human-scene integration

As exterior portraits, people and the environment must be closely integrated to achieve the integration of people and scenery. In the picture on the left, the figure sitting by the tree not only gives the photographer a special angle to get rid of the dull picture, but also makes the figure closely integrated with the environment. In the picture on the right, the characters are standing among the flowers. Although the scene is not big, it emphasizes the environment.

TIPS7: Backlight is always backlit

Backlighting is the only way to make flowers look beautiful. Flowers in the sun are very common. If you change them to backlight, the flowers will be outlined by sunlight and shine.
