8. Double chin: This is a common phenomenon regardless of whether you are fat or thin. When shooting, ask the subject to extend their chin forward and lengthen their chin muscles so that they will not be crowded together. You can also shoot from a high position.

9. Two eyes of different sizes: When there are obvious big and small eyes, the stylist can solve the problem by applying fake double eyelids, or you can ask the customer to open the small eyes wide or turn them when taking pictures. When looking at different places, you can also bring the subject's small eyes closer to the lens, and use small perspective changes from near to far to modify the subject.

10. Protruding eyes: When shooting, you can take a frontal portrait and use flat and soft light to shine on the subject.

11. If there are scars on one side of the face: Ask the subject to face the scarred side away from the camera or cover it with hair, hands, or accessories.

12. Fan the ears: cover it with hair, hands, and headgear, so that the ear close to the camera is in shadow. It is not suitable to take frontal portraits.

13. Eye-to-eye contact: Try not to take direct-view shots, and let customers turn left and right up and down to find the most suitable angle for shooting.

17. Protruding lower abdomen: During the photo shoot, ask the customer to raise their chest and tighten their abdomen, and use gestures or holding flowers to improve it.

18. When two people take a photo, the distance between fat and thin is too large: let the thinner person get closer to the camera, cover part of the other person or turn the angle to make the fatter person look thinner.

19. The legs are too tight: let the subject wear a long skirt or cover it up with props and accessories.

20. The hand shape is not beautiful: turn the angle of the hand and choose a beautiful angle to shoot. If the angle is not ideal, you can wear gloves or cover it with accessories.

3. The posture and deportment of the subject

1. Standing portrait: Standing pose is one of the most common postures in portrait photography. Standing portrait can fully display the body shape and lines of the character. , the beauty has great freedom and many postures. When posing for a standing portrait, you should pay attention to the following points: A. One leg of the subject should stand straight, and the other leg should be freely crossed or slightly raised. Do not bend the straight leg, and keep the raised leg straight. Peace. Positioning the legs and feet is the prerequisite for positioning the upper body parts. B. The subject's head, chest, and buttocks are generally not in a straight line. Let the main line of the body form a curve or S-line. C. The planes of the body mass formed by the head, chest, and buttocks should generally not be in one plane.

For example: when the chest body is facing forward, the face should be turned to the side, and for example: when the chest is facing sideways, the buttocks should be turned to the front. D. Generally speaking, standing postures require starting from the feet. :

2. Sitting portraits: Sitting portraits have greater limitations than standing portraits, but sitting postures can form graceful curves and are also helpful in eliminating the subject's nervousness. The sitting posture is based on the diagonal sitting posture at 45 degrees to the camera, and is divided into three types: diagonal sitting posture, back-facing sitting posture and side-back sitting posture. According to the angle formed by the upper and lower body, it can be divided into right-angle sitting posture, obtuse-angle sitting posture and acute-angle sitting posture. If it is subdivided by the way of crossing the legs, it can be divided into thigh-crossing posture and calf-crossing posture. Two types. When taking pictures of sitting portraits, you should pay attention to the following aspects: A. Sitting portraits are suitable for showing static expressions, and the subject's expression should be restrained and thoughtful. B. The treatment of the subject’s joints is the key part. In general. It’s rare to take photos while sitting from the front, because your knees will be pointed towards the camera and your thighs will look stubby and clumsy. C. The treatment of the spine of the seated portrait is also very important, because the emotions of the seated portrait are written on the back, especially when shooting the side-facing and back-facing sitting postures. When the mood is high and the spirit is full, the spine is always straight. When the mood is bad, the spine will curl up greatly, while the spine in a normal state of mind is only slightly curved. Therefore, when the subject sits down, the photographer should remind him not to sit too hard, but to sit softly. When sitting, do not lean your back on the back of the chair, and use your spine to support your upper body. D. Sitting portraits are not easy to show off the figure, so generally do not choose loose and bulky clothing. In order to better reflect the body curve and the lines of the limbs, it is best for customers to wear tighter clothing. E. When posing in a sitting position, you must first look for the most appropriate body proportions from the camera. Only when the proportions are normal will the visual experience be comfortable. The smoothness and completeness of lines is an issue that cannot be ignored in the modeling of sitting postures. The sitting posture often interrupts the extending body curve, and the lines in the sitting posture tend to appear fragmented and messy, but the sitting posture can show the upper body more calmly. The shape advantage of the model is that it can make full use of the characteristic curves of the outer contour of the upper body to show the body shape. With the coordination of the limbs, a more complete and smooth body curve can be formed. When dealing with exposed parts of the body, such as arms, waist and abdomen, thighs When waiting, be careful not to expose the lines of flesh distortion caused by rotation and squeezing.

3. Double styling: Double photos are often encountered in wedding photography. Compared with single photos, the beautiful styles of double photos are more diverse. It not only includes the changes in the body size, lines, and expressions of a single character, but also the communication between the characters. When posing a beautiful pair of people, be sure not to forget the response and changes in spirit and form between the two people. When taking wedding photos for two people, you should pay attention to the following aspects: A. When modeling the beauty of two people, you should pay attention to the changes in body mass between each other, from the perspective of human body structure. The human body is divided into three major body parts: head, chest, and buttocks. When studying the beauty of two people, we divide their bodies into two groups for study. Generally, there are six basic structural combinations of subjects relative to the camera: female, straight, male Sideways, women half sideways, men half sideways, women half sideways to men half sideways, men sideways, women sideways, men torso, women torso, men with their backs and women with their backs. On the basis of these six basic combinations, further fine-tuning and subdivision can produce endless beautiful looks. B. When modeling the beauty of two people, pay attention to the line changes in the picture. The lines in the picture have different meanings. For example, straight lines give people the feeling of being upright and vigorous, etc., and are suitable for expressing male beauty. Curves give people a gentle and tranquil charm, and are suitable for expressing beautiful environments or gentle female beauty. Diagonal lines have a sense of movement, if the amount of diagonal lines takes up very little of the picture. There will be less movement. If there are more slashes, the movement of the whole picture will become very strong. When the slope of the oblique line is not too large, the dynamic feeling becomes gentle.

4. The beautiful posture and modeling should be consistent with the character's expression and the environmental atmosphere.

In portrait photography, the posture and expression of the person being photographed are interrelated with the artistic space in which the person is located. The people being photographed are in different environments, and their beauty and appearance are also different. For example, when the person being photographed is in a warm environment, the posture of the person should be softer. When photographing people in a lively environment, their beauty should be more unrestrained.

In portrait photography, the posture of the subject and other modeling elements in the picture are a complete whole. Any change in the modeling elements in the picture will affect the beauty of the subject. Photographers must not study beautiful poses without considering the actual situation of the subjects and their environment.
