[Skills] Master the shooting angle How to choose the angle of shooting people

The choice of shooting angle includes the choice of shooting direction and shooting height. In figure photography, the choice of shooting angle is very important. The slight change of shooting angle will have obvious influence on the image and posture of the subject. The choice of shooting direction refers to the change of the camera's position in the horizontal position centered on the subject. Sometimes you can also ask the subject to change the direction to get the shooting effect in different directions. The choice of shooting direction in figure photography mainly includes: the front direction is used to shoot people, which can well show the positive characteristics of the subject, and all parts of the face of the person are in an equal and symmetrical position, giving people a sense of silence, solemnity and solemnity. Side shot is the most commonly used shooting direction in figure photography, because this shooting direction can not only show the front structure and side structure of the subject, but also well show the edge line of the combination of these two surfaces, so that the image, outline and three-dimensional effect of the subject can be fully expressed. The characters shot in this direction are not in the same position in each part of the picture, so the shadows in the picture are vivid and changeable, and the whole picture has dynamic potential and obvious directionality. When shooting sideways, the camera is shooting at the side of the subject to display the side image and line structure of the subject. Because shooting in this direction can fully show the profile of the subject, this shooting direction is often used when taking silhouette photos. At the same time, the side shot has strong momentum and directionality, so it is often used when shooting people who are moving at high speed. Backlight is rarely used in figure photography, only in some special cases. Back shooting can show the back characteristics of the subject and guide the audience to develop in depth. When choosing the back direction to shoot people, we must pay attention to the characteristics of the subject's back.
