How to Cultivate Model's Sense of Lens

There are no bad models, only photographers who can't guide models. But sometimes it's really a headache to meet a model who really doesn't have a sense of camera. And now a good model has a good sense of lens is a big advantage. Although I shoot MM less, it is very simple to capture the beauty of MM in 20 films. Of course, this is the topic of photographer's sense of lens.

First of all, what is the sense of lens? Simply put, it is "eyes+brain = lens". If you think I mean that someone has no brains to shoot PP, then you are wrong. Back to the topic, when shooting, we always observe the subject with our eyes first, which is the first step. However, in this first step, many friends didn't notice that our eyes are actually flawed (relative to the lens). First of all, they are two (most of us here should be like this), that is to say, they are three-dimensional, three-dimensional perception, so we know before and after without thinking, so we take it for granted that the lens should also know. In fact, the lens can only give you a flat thing.

Secondly, our eyes observe things selectively-this is very important. A row of people standing together to observe a direction is exactly the same as the objective world in the field, but everyone's visual memory is different, which is why our brain is "working" because everyone's visual interests are different. So we must remember this. There are two differences between the lens and our eyes. It's not the fault of the camera. The camera just faithfully restored the picture. Therefore, we should try our best to observe and think through the lens.

Speaking of which, some people will ask what should be done specifically? Yes, this topic has to vary from person to person, from time to place. I can only say that some friends often encounter some problems, not all of which are expected.

First, add a box, add a box for your viewing plane. This is an invisible box. Choose the picture you want to shoot in your mind and adjust it constantly. Don't always rely on your viewfinder. Once you get used to it, you will find it much faster and more convenient than the viewfinder.

Second, get used to paying attention to your whole viewfinder picture. Many people pick up the camera and stare at MT's eyes and keep shooting. Fortunately, they were very happy when they looked at the photos, but unfortunately they were unlucky, alas. The problem is that I neglected to take a photo, not just a simple MT, yes, anyway, you should get used to scanning the whole photo quickly with your eyes before pressing the shutter. Whether to press it or not is your business.

Third, what is the most difficult shot? . Many friends in the jar like to use the medium telephoto lens (standard lazy lens), because its picture effect is very different from what our eyes observe, so it is very pleasing to the eye. After all, our eyes can't see this effect. However, it compresses the sense of space and becomes a complete plane (yes). What about wide angle? Personally, I think Wide Angle is suspected in this respect. I think the head is really difficult to shoot, because it has a visual effect and perspective similar to our eyes. If you want to shoot well, you need a photographer with excellent observation ability, which urges you to continuously improve your eyesight. It is easy to see that the film is not well shot (only in this way can we find the problem), which helps us to be alert and improve. So, try to shoot with your head and walk more when it's time to go. If you are interested, if we open the world-famous fashion magazines and people magazines, we will find that 90% of the films are shot with a focal length of 35~85mm (compared with a camera of 35 ~ 85 mm).

Fourth, walk more, walking back and forth is not painful. When moving, don't forget to observe the front and back of the subject, and don't blur it because our lens is good, so you lose the original meaningful foreground and background, which not only wastes money.

Fifth, exercise your visual perspective, which is very useful for still life, architecture and friends who want to shoot product advertisements. The visual angle of our human eyes is very wide, about 135 degrees (single), but our visual focus is very small, and our brains have made moderate corrections to perspective, so sometimes we tend to ignore the influence of perspective. So if we want to get a picture, we must observe the scope before and after the subject, what is needed, what is not needed, and to what extent! In this way, through exercise, you can make a judgment directly. "
