What are the best parameters for portrait shooting?

The best parameters for portrait shooting are as follows:

Outdoor portrait photography usually uses a medium-long focal length to increase the aperture. It is to use a lens with medium and long focal length, such as 85mm fixed focus, and open the aperture when shooting, such as shooting with a large aperture of f 1.8.

When using medium telephoto and large aperture, it is necessary to adjust the shutter speed appropriately according to the situation. If you are snapping with someone, it is obvious that the shutter speed should be set faster, such as 1/500 seconds or more. If it is a swing, the shutter speed should also be kept above the safe shutter speed. If the lens is not anti-shake, you need to set a shutter speed faster than the safe shutter speed.

Set the sensitivity as low as possible. If it is sunny during the day, it is best to set the sensitivity to the lowest level. If the weather is cloudy or cloudy, you can appropriately increase the sensitivity and ensure the shutter speed, but it is best not to exceed iso400. Portrait photography at night is another matter, and the sensitivity needs to be set higher than during the day.

Techniques for taking portraits:

1, select a bright background.

When shooting indoors, you can use bright doors and windows in natural light as the background, or you can use existing lighting equipment such as desk lamps to create a bright background for the photographer, and choose a suitable shooting angle to make the shadow of the flash disappear in the bright background.

2. The position of the camera should be higher.

When the flash is used indoors, the position of the camera should be higher and more upright, so that the projection of the flash will be directly below the person behind you and will be partially blocked by the subject, which will not look so obvious. Try to shoot with your head up or head up as little as possible. Avoid vertical composition, because when shooting vertically, the flash is in the side position, which makes it easier for the flash shadow to fall on the side of the person.

3. Use slow synchronous flash mode.

When shooting indoors with flash, in addition to the light source of flash, there will be natural light and indoor lighting of doors and windows, but the latter two light sources are weak and cannot make the main characters have enough exposure. You can use the slow synchronous flash mode to illuminate the protagonist with a flash light source.
