What are the taboos for beginners of portrait photography?

Lead: A good photo is like a painting, with reasonable composition and outstanding focus, which can guide the viewer's attention to the theme of the picture at once, instead of being distracted by the complicated background. The following are the taboos for beginners of portrait photography that I have carefully arranged for you. Welcome to refer to them!

1, the principle of "three-point line" is the principle of "well". Divide the picture into nine equal parts with four straight lines, that is, draw the word "well". The subject will look beautiful and harmonious at the intersection. Remember, don't put the theme in the middle.

2, the horizon should be in the picture 2/3, avoid the horizon straight through the middle of the picture.

3. Photography is the principle of subtraction. The background should be concise and lively to set off the main body. You can't have your cake and eat it.

4, direct shooting, that is, holding the camera vertically is easier to have a good composition and more expressive. (As the case may be, it is definitely wrong)

5. There are four kinds of portrait photos: headshots, busts, busts and full-length photos. The head shot is from face to shoulder, the bust is from face to waist, the bust is from face to knee, and the whole body is the whole body.

6. When shooting side portraits or objects with forward momentum, you should leave a certain space in front of the main body of the picture, otherwise it will give people a feeling of hitting the south wall with your head, and the picture will be dull and depressing.

7. Don't get entangled in the accessories for people photography. The background selection should be appropriate to avoid the phenomenon of long chimneys on the shoulders and big branches on the heads.

8. Avoid cutting off portraits at joints, such as knees, pelvis and ankles. It should be below the shoulder and below the knee.

9. When shooting people, in order to highlight the theme, use a large aperture and a small depth of field to blur the background. If you are a fool camera, you should choose portrait mode.

10, portrait photography, can let people put some pose and bend their bodies more, which can enhance the dynamic of the picture and will not appear dull.

1 1, figure photography, big head and bust can adopt diagonal layout. The main contribution of diagonal to photos is to bring dynamic factors, such as headshots. It is difficult to shoot a good headshot, and the camera will easily come out with a slight tilt. As long as you use diagonal composition flexibly, you will find that clothing, background and even figure are secondary.

12. A large bust with a straight front angle refers to a film shot near the knee of the character, but it does not need diagonal composition. If you use colors, you must make the background simple. The solution is to use the background blur effect as much as possible, that is, use a simple background. For example, simple color walls. If you shoot good friends, there is no way, because they definitely want to shoot in colorful garden parks. Hehe, the movie must have distracted the background. Another way is to use the background as little as possible, that is, cut it boldly! Why do people have to leave a blank space on their heads? Don't forget that there is no way to leave a blank space under the bust. It's best not to leave a blank on it and cut off a small part of your hair.

13, figure photography should be natural, don't stare at the camera, it is expected to stay away from the picture.

14. Take photos with the scenery. The characters should not be too small, accounting for about 70% of the picture, but they should not be indomitable, which is not conducive to the later editing.

15. Take photos with people and scenery. You can put people in front of some interesting backgrounds. For example, people can lean on delicate iron bars or trees.
