How to pose in a sitting position in photography

1. Head and body should not be in a straight line. If the two are in a straight line, it will inevitably feel dull. Therefore, when the front of the body is facing the camera, the head should turn slightly to the left or to the right, and the photo will look elegant and vivid; By the same token, when the subject's eyes are facing the camera, turning his body into a certain angle will make the picture look angry and dynamic, and increase the three-dimensional sense.

2. arms and legs should not be parallel. No matter whether the subject is sitting or standing, never let his arms or legs be parallel, because it will make people feel stiff and mechanical. The proper way can be that a song always forms a certain angle or both. In this way, it can not only cause movement, but also change posture.

3. Try to make the figure curve clear. For female subjects, it is necessary to show their charming curves. The usual practice is to let one leg of the character actually support the weight of the whole body, and the other leg is slightly raised and leans against the standing leg. The arm should be turned to show its narrowest side, and the chest should show its towering and rich feeling as far as possible through the curve of the waist. At the same time, one hand of the character can be placed on the hip to provide the necessary width for the picture.

4. avoid sitting in a trap. When showing the subject's sitting posture, don't let him sit in the chair as usual. If so, her thighs will be in a state of rest, so that the fatty part at the upper end of her legs will bulge, making her legs look crude. The correct way is to let his body move forward, sit near the chair, and keep his chest out and abdomen in, so as to avoid the phenomenon of shoulders hanging down and abdomen protruding.

5. The lens should be far away rather than close. Generally speaking, it is better to take a portrait at a distance than at a distance. Because when the lens (especially the lens with short focal length) is very close to the subject, distortion will occur. Therefore, when shooting, we should choose a lens with appropriate focal length and keep a certain distance between the lens and the subject. According to practice, we know that the best distance should be between 6-8 feet if the standard lens is used to shoot people's heads; Taking a chest image should be between 8 and 9 feet; Take a full-length portrait, preferably between 13 and 22 feet.

6. show good posture. The proportion of the subject's hand in the picture is not large, but if it is placed improperly, it will destroy the overall beauty of the picture. Pay attention to the integrity of the hand when shooting, and don't make it feel deformed, broken or incomplete. If you put your hands on your hips or in your pocket, you should show some fingers to avoid giving people the impression of being cut off.
