Instantaneous expression photography painting characters

The expression of the portrait has been changing. Even when thinking, it seems that the expression is still, and strange stones will inevitably distinguish subtle changes from the eyes, eyebrows and corners of the mouth. Portrait photography always emphasizes the natural and vivid expression of characters. Vivid means unpretentious, unwilling, dull and naturally active. Grasping subtle moments in the process of expression can endow artistic images with vivid vitality.

In order to get a vivid and natural expression, the best way is not to interfere with the subject, and not to let the subject pretend any expression according to your idea. Generally, when shooting, you can take pictures in a far place with a medium telephoto lens. After shooting a good scene, we should wait patiently for the natural and vivid performance of the subject. After a long time, the subject will think that you have finished filming or not, which means that he will forget his formality and let his true expression naturally show. When shooting at close range, it is difficult for the subject to keep a natural expression. You can put the camera on a tripod and connect it to the cable release. When you are ready, hold the cable on his back and release it while talking to the subject. He will think that he will relax before shooting and press the shutter when he answers naturally and has a vivid expression. If there is an assistant or other person present, you can ask a third party to talk to the object and wait by yourself, waiting for the opportunity to shoot. These methods are all waiting for the ideal expression to appear, and they are a selection method. If you can choose the appropriate expression, you can generally achieve good results.

When taking a portrait indoors, the subject can't get rid of the nervousness of "waiting for a photo" because he is in a strange environment and under strong light, which will inevitably be very stiff, so it is difficult for the subject to show vivid expressions. Therefore, we must first eliminate this psychological state of the subject. Before shooting, you can talk and laugh with him in a friendly way to familiarize him with the environment, which will calm him down and then start taking pictures. In addition, it should be noted that when taking pictures, the subject should be guided to show his true feelings, and the subject should not be forced to pretend any expression by command or command.
