Concept description of portrait photography

Lead: As far as the proportion of pictures taken is concerned, the portraits taken can be divided into: face close-up, that is, there is only one face left in the whole picture; Shoulder photo, which is the proportion of general ID photo; Half-length photo, body to waist; Seven, the whole body and other five different.

At the beginning, beginners are advised to practice close-ups and shoulders first. Basically, a very important concept of portrait is the spirit and characteristics of the subject. Tell the viewer what kind of person this is and what characteristics he/she has; When you focus on the face, you can observe the expression of the subject intently, study the expression changes of the subject, and then guide or wait for the expression of the subject.

In terms of angle, the camera can look up, and from bottom to top (the most common angle of selfie) will make the face smaller, but not all photos are like this. Please practice different angles to make the subjects turn their heads, lift their chin, bow their heads, etc. Look at the change of the picture from the viewfinder or screen of the camera, find out the angle that you feel good, and press the shutter.

Because everyone looks different, such practice can only rely more on shooting and return to the law of photography practice, that is, shoot, shoot and shoot again. Why start from scratch and start from a small scale? Because when the figure's body appears in the picture, it means that the photographer has more places to take care of, more places to observe carefully, and more and more choices such as expression, head position, which side to look at, shoulder height and turning. So there is no good way to do it on the head and expression. What happened next became more and more difficult to control.

In the bust part, hand and hand gestures, such as clenching fist, half-holding, opening, etc. , will be displayed. How the arm swings has a great influence on the picture. The arm is a long line, which will affect the viewer's line of sight guidance. Because the camera takes images by framing, all changes must be confirmed through the framing window and screen to adjust the posture of the subject.

We won't say clearly what is better, because such things are not absolute, only readers can look at more photos and videos and absorb them for their own use. There is no only standard answer to aesthetic things, only introduction. Aesthetics is also improving. Readers can observe the sculptures in Greece and Rome at that time, see the classical beauty, see the painters' paintings and absorb more different images, which is the only way to make their images grow out of the fixed pattern.

Full-body photography is considered quite difficult by the general public, and there are many aspects to consider, as well as the proportion of the body. If you carefully observe many newspapers and magazines, readers should find that the probability of full-body photos is smaller than other types. Because of the picture relationship, full-body photos mean that the face becomes smaller and the focus is scattered.

One of the characteristics of full-body photography is to focus on the subject's body, so if the subject's body is not the focus of shooting or wants to avoid physical defects, or the subject does not want to be fat, thin or short, full-body photography will not be a good choice. Full-body photography is usually used to shoot models and people with good posture, showing his/her advantages.
