Sports Park Restaurant

How to take dynamic portraits?

Our first stop was the Sports Park Restaurant, which has a wide variety of colorful sports facilities, which is very suitable for shooting energetic portraits.

Portrait Mode

First we go to the baseball stadium area. There are neon signs full of science fiction, which are very suitable as a background for portraits. . You can turn on the "Portrait Mode" of the iPhone 12mini, use a close-up approach to place the subject in the picture, blur the neon background, and highlight the subject while giving the picture a sense of fashion.

@zhouyusi

Some friends may find that when shooting in portrait mode on iPhone, the edges are easily blurred and the background blur effect cannot be achieved. In fact, using the iPhone's portrait mode requires some tips:

1. During the process of shooting in portrait mode, it is best for the model to remain still. You can first have the model stand in front of a neon sign. In line with the sports scene of baseball playing, use a baseball bat as a photo prop, put it on your shoulder and strike a cool pose before shooting.

2. When taking pictures, the distance between the camera and the model should not be too close or too far, and the camera should be moved according to the size of the subject. When a yellow frame appears in the viewfinder, it means that the camera has recognized the human subject and can press the shutter to take the picture.

Ultra-wide viewing angle

In such sports scenes, combined with the perspective effect of the iPhone 12 mini's "ultra-wide-angle lens", you can take more intense photos.

@宇游艺

We can make full use of the perspective deformation effect of the ultra-wide angle and slightly tilt the phone up to shoot, which can better highlight the model's slim and slender visual effect. When shooting, be sure to place the character's head in the middle to avoid facial distortion.

Look for colorful foregrounds

In a photo, contrasting colors can always catch people’s attention at the first moment. These colorful entertainment facilities can not only serve as a frame foreground for the characters, allowing the audience to better focus their attention on the characters, but also add a sense of vitality to your portrait photos.

teamLab Unbounded Art Museum

How to shoot light and shadow blockbusters?

At the second stop, we went to teamLab Unbounded Art Museum. The light sculptures, the forest of lights and the crystal world all have dreamlike light and shadow scenes, making people feel like they have strayed into a wonderful world. The magical world is very easy to produce!

@宇游艺

Light Sculpture

The light sculpture area is composed of thousands of spotlights. The color and direction of the light will change with the It changes with different styles of music, bringing an immersive audio-visual experience to the audience.

@宇游艺

The light creates a vortex of light in the diffuse fog, and shooting portraits with backlight can create a very dreamy and blurry atmosphere.

@zhouyusi

In such a low-light environment, the iPhone 12mini’s “Night Mode” will automatically turn on to help us take clearer low-light portraits.

The light here is ever-changing. We can also wait for the light to illuminate the face. With the "Portrait Mode" of the iPhone 12 mini, it is easy to take photos with a blur effect of spots of light.

@宇游艺

What should be noted here is to keep the character’s face facing the light source to avoid unclear faces and excessive noise.

Forest of Lamps

In the Forest of Lamps, there are hundreds of echoing lamps that will constantly change colors, becoming brighter and darker if you get closer.

@宇游艺

If you want to take good-looking photos, it’s best to seize the moment when the light slowly changes from blue-purple to yellow, and use the “Portrait Mode” of iPhone 12 mini. Emphasize the subject of the character and make the character stand out in the cluttered background of echo lights.

@ Zhou Yusi

At the same time, we can also cleverly use one or two light bulbs as the foreground of the character. Using this contrast between the real and the virtual, we can create a hazy and dreamy atmosphere.

Crystal World

Standing in the Crystal World is like being in the future world. There are tens of thousands of LED lights flashing around, one after another, combined with the ceiling, walls and The mirror reflection of the floor creates an endless effect.

@zhouyusi

Taking advantage of the mirror reflection of the floor here, we can use the wide viewing angle of the iPhone 12 mini's "ultra-wide-angle lens" to completely capture the upper and lower reflections of the characters. When shooting, you only need to focus on the person and lower the exposure to capture the symmetrical silhouette effect of the person. Combined with the starry blue light background, it will look like they are flying in the universe.

VUE Bar

How to take night scene portraits?

At the third stop, we went to VUE Bar. It was already evening when we arrived here. At this time, through the transparent glass windows in the room, we could see the brightly lit Lujiazui, Shanghai in the distance. The blue sky outside the window and the warm atmosphere inside the room. Adjusting the light creates a sharp contrast between warm and cold, which is perfect for shooting night scene portraits.

@zhouyusi

Beautiful light spots are the charm of night scene portraits, which can create gorgeous visual effects for night scene portraits, so it is best to use "portrait mode" to shoot , the portrait mode can blur the distant night scene of Lujiazui into beautiful spots of light, making your night scene portraits more outstanding.

However, when we use mobile phones to take night scene portraits, we often use improper lighting, causing the model's face to receive uneven light and leaving ugly shadows on the model's face. Therefore, during the shooting process, try to keep the model's face facing the side of the light box, so that the character's face can be filled with light.

@zhouyusi

In addition to portrait mode, the normal photo mode of iPhone 12 mini also has good detail presentation. Combined with the powerful computational photography "Deep Fusion" function of iPhone, even It can also show excellent details of portraits in dim environments.

Make good use of the scene light to better reflect the three-dimensional sense of the face. Let the model sit next to the lamp, and the side light hits the person's face. At this time, the person's nose will become taller and the three-dimensionality of the side face will be enhanced. Combined with the surrounding soft light, it will create a comfortable atmosphere.
