Self-portrait angle technique

Photography has become both easy and difficult. If you want to be different and stand out from the crowd, in addition to shooting content, you may wish to change the shooting angle. Many times, we observe the world from a horizontal angle, and we are used to using a horizontal angle in shooting. In fact, we will not only discover another world by shooting from a low angle.

Self-portrait photography angle skill 1. Flexible use of low-angle photography of small animals and children.

When shooting children and animals, do you find that the images you get are not satisfactory? Have you ever thought that this is precisely because you shoot images from a daily perspective? Because our perspective is higher than that of children or small animals, we can't fully capture their charm and always can't take satisfactory photos. At this time, it needs to be applied to low-position shooting. Shoot images at their level so that the audience can see the world from his/her perspective. Low-angle shooting is not purely from the bottom up. Shooting a subject close to the ground at a horizontal angle can also be regarded as a low-angle shooting.

Second, the use characteristics of wide-angle lens

The wide-angle lens has a wide viewing angle and can accommodate more scenes. In addition, the wide-angle lens has obvious perspective deformation, and the object close to the lens is larger, and vice versa. Photographers can make more use of the characteristics of wide-angle lenses to shoot images with rich scenery and exaggerated effects. In addition, the wide-angle image can also facilitate the photographer to process the image in the later stage of shooting, for example, after cutting due to the correction level, the subject can still be kept intact.

Third, be patient in framing and composition.

When shooting at a low angle, if the photographer uses a general digital camera, it is difficult to find a view and make a composition through the viewfinder. As a result, he had to try and shoot wrong, which undoubtedly tested the photographer's patience. If the photographer's camera is equipped with Live View real-time display function and rotating screen, it will be easier to shoot.

Fourth, pay attention to the level.

Sometimes it is difficult to get the picture level accurately, because you may not be able to view it directly when shooting. Photographers can add an external level to the camera. Generally, an external level can be added to the flash hot boots of the camera. In addition, if the photographer's digital camera is equipped with an electronic level, you may wish to use it more. Of course, images can also be processed by computer, but it takes a lot of time.

Five, careful handling of image exposure

Pay attention to the exposure of the image when shooting. If the contrast between the background and the subject is large, it may be that the subject is underexposed and the background is exposed normally (like silhouette). Or the subject is exposed normally and the background is overexposed (the background is all white). For example, on cloudy days, the sky is often white, and there is no sense of hierarchy, so the images taken will be very boring. Therefore, photographers should carefully consider the shooting angle.
