Shooting principles of figure photography

The shooting principles of figure photography are as follows:

This can better help the subject to relax himself, naturally express his truest side, and it is easier to grasp the characteristics and style of the subject.

4. Use natural light: Natural light is the best light source to take more realistic and natural photos. Pay attention to the angle and intensity of light when shooting, understand the color and characteristics of shooting light, so as to choose the most suitable light conditions.

5. Rational use of expression: Expression is one of the most important elements in figure photography, which can convey the personality and emotional characteristics of the subject. In addition to objective and natural expressions, we can try to guide the subjects to express specific emotions, so as to make the photos more realistic and vivid.

6. Customize post-effect: Using post-effect to process pictures can make them more vivid and have more visual impact. You can use processing techniques to adjust the color and brightness to a suitable level, or use various photo adjustment tools to beautify and enhance special effects.
