Outdoor photography, indoor photography

The photo studio is the fastest and most convenient place for general portrait photography, so you don't have to waste time running around, and because the lighting, background, props and other photographic equipment in the photo studio are readily available, you can take good photos quickly and conveniently without any restrictions and interference.

Because people traditionally have a sense of professionalism and value for the equipment of professional photo studios, such as lighting, background, props and other equipment, it is easier to charge higher photography fees. Unlike location photography, which gives people a simple and feasible sense of cheapness, location photography alone is not easy to charge higher fees.

Of course, more professional photographers know that the indoor area of the studio is limited, the lighting equipment is similar, and it is impossible to change the scenery and props frequently (because the decoration and investment are expensive), so the change of shooting mode is much more dull than location photography. In addition, the lighting methods of indoor studios also have their fixed forms, which are often several traditional basic lighting methods or extremely limited changes. Therefore, the style and scene content of photos taken in the studio are not as magnificent or ever-changing as location photography. Especially outdoor photography, such as portraits with scenery, is simply impossible for indoor photography with extremely limited space!

In the indoor studio, the most types of shooting are close-up photos within seven parts of formula composition. In the aspect of style change, it is necessary to rely on the change of portrait modeling or the change of elegant or fancy background to make the work present more changeable high-order or low-order tone photos, or repeatedly expose photos.

Among the shooting techniques in the studio, lighting technology is the most important. As long as you master the basic lighting technology, you can use its simple and fast working environment to shoot beautiful wedding photography and artistic photos. One of the biggest advantages of indoor studio is that there are enough light sources, which is simple and perfect with double light method. With the combination of double lighting, you can take a more perfect close-up photo than outdoor photography.

Therefore, the indoor studio is the most suitable place to take perfect close-up photos, and it is also the fastest photo environment for every professional photographer. Analysis of photo features and styles

High-order tone type photos are photo types that occupy considerable weight in indoor studio shooting. This type of photo can only be easily taken in an indoor studio with a series of white backgrounds and equipment. This kind of photos give people a fresh and lively feeling and are very popular with lively and cheerful young customers.

The so-called high-order tone photo refers to the extremely low illumination ratio on the photo screen, and the white and bright parts far exceed the black part of the shadow; Or light color takes up a large area, and dark color only takes up a small part of the picture. Therefore, the whole photo gives people a very fresh and elegant feeling, without too much gloomy light and shadow performance, which is the basic feature of high-order tone photos.

Generally speaking, the tone of a photo can be divided into high-order, middle-order and low-order tones according to its light ratio or the proportion of light and dark parts in the whole photo. And the general portrait photography photos, mostly belong to the middle level tone performance with moderate color brightness. In the shooting skills of indoor studio, it is necessary to learn high-order and low-order tone photos, which is a skill that every photographer who studies professional wedding and artistic photography must master. Because of its wide application in portrait photography and clear style positioning, it occupies a large proportion in the photography market.

This type of photo is fresh and bright in style, with only a clear description of the theme and little low expression of light and shadow, so it is the most popular among young people, and it is also one of the necessary photos in wedding photography and art studio photography. For some people who are older, too dark or too fat, and don't like lively performance, it is necessary to reduce the number of photos, so as not to let customers complain because of personality disagreement or obvious shortcomings exposed in photos.

Description of key shooting techniques

1. Selection of background: The easiest skill to take this type of photo is to use white or light background cloth in the indoor studio and put the subject portrait directly in front of this type of background to obtain the basic tone of this type of photo. In addition, the choice of clothing should also try to avoid too dark color, so as not to lose color tone.

2. Light control: When taking this kind of photos, we should try to use plane illumination or low light ratio illumination, and the background should also try to use plane illumination. Otherwise, if the lighting ratio is too large or other lighting techniques such as Gao Fancha are used, the high-order tone of the whole photo will be lost because of the shadow in the dark. Under the strong white background, the shadow of the portrait face will be more prominent, so the photo is extremely ugly.

3. People with obvious defects such as poor skin texture, obesity and dark skin should take as few photos as possible to avoid exposing their shortcomings in a clear and bright lighting environment, which is not only unattractive, but self-defeating.

4. When taking high-tone photos, don't use soft focus or fog filters, otherwise the white light in the background will penetrate into black areas such as face and hair; Form an extremely ugly image. Analysis of photo features and styles

Low-order tone photos, that is, in the picture of photos, the illumination is relatively high, most of them are dark parts and dark parts or tones, and only a few are bright parts or tones. The picture gives people an elegant, safe and calm feeling, which is the characteristic of low-tone photos. It is the opposite of high-order tone type photos, and it is also a very typical and important photo type in indoor shed shooting.

This type of photo is not easy to take outdoors, because it is difficult to have bright lighting environment and dark background. Professional photographers usually shoot in indoor studios.

Reaction and discussion of photography market

Because this type of photo is full of calm and elegant atmosphere, it is a photo type suitable for the bride's temperament in wedding photography, and it is also one of the typical photos deeply loved by the market. Especially those who are mature and introverted, or have certain attainments in color art, will like the style of this kind of photos. But for lively boys and girls, this type of photo style is too dull. Professional photographers should know more about customers' psychology when taking such photos, so as to avoid getting twice the result with half the effort.

Description of key shooting techniques

1. Normal shooting method: There is a very simple shooting method for this type of photos, that is, you can choose a black background to shoot, and you can get photos with this tone. As for the polishing technique, any polishing method is applicable, but there will be a better or worse difference in feeling.

2. Higher level shooting method: If you want to take this kind of photos better, you need to shoot the light ratio level in the background. As for the lighting of the theme, you should use the thin light method or Rembrandt lighting method to make the theme and background seamlessly connect.

In clothing, it is also better to have a low-key, gorgeous and dazzling texture. If it is a white dress, you should add a black visor when taking pictures, so that the skirt of the white yarn will gradually turn black and have a gradual sense, so that it can be coherent with the background as a whole and achieve the perfect state of people and scenery. Analysis of photo features and styles

Multi-exposure photo is a kind of photo with special effect. Use two or more exposures when taking pictures, so that the original independent images are finally taken on the same negative. Although it is the same photo, there are many combinations of images, which is the shooting method of multiple exposure photos. This shooting technique can superimpose scenes from different time and space on the same photo, producing amazing results. The way of image combination is quite similar to the way of computer image synthesis in post-processing, and it is a work with great effect but lacking the original connotation of photography.

Reaction and discussion of photography market

In every album of wedding photos and artistic photography, there are one or two photos of this type that are quite fresh, especially for customers who like novelty and creativity. However, there should not be too many such photos, otherwise it will appear too flashy. It is advisable to have but not too many decorative photos.

Description of key shooting techniques

1. The most important thing to take this photo is the early design concept of the software, in other words, the arrangement ability of the artist. That is, the final image formed in the photo, what kind of image is needed and what kind of position is arranged, all of which must be conceived and sketched before shooting. In this way, when shooting, you can make a perfect composition and arrange the image position on the camera.

2. Using the technology of multiple exposures, each image is shot into the same negative to achieve the purpose of multiple exposures. Of course, each exposure needs to be carried out in a black background or environment to avoid the overlapping of previously exposed images with other unnecessary images.

3. In the process of shooting, we must pay attention to the composition of the theme. Photographers should accurately calculate the position of each theme on the viewfinder, otherwise the position will be misplaced, resulting in overlapping images, thus losing the meaning of perfect composition.

4. The camera operation method of multiple exposures can generally be realized according to the basic operation method of camera repeated exposure.

5. In order to make the photo reach the most perfect level, the lighting method of each image should have consistent lighting logic to avoid the confusion of the theme of continuous exposure, which makes people feel ridiculous.

6. Other designs, such as color matching, space-time application and patchwork style, should also reach a certain artistic level, otherwise it will only form creative but meaningless low-style works. Analysis of photo features and styles

The basic characteristics of the formula composition type photos in the shed and the exterior formula composition type photos are basically the same. It's just that the formula composition type photos in the shed can be taken in the ideal compound lighting mode, so the facial lighting of the theme portrait is often more beautiful and perfect than the formula composition type photos on the exterior. However, in the change of background, the formula composition type photos in the shed are inferior and dull. For the average customer, the perfect facial beauty is more important than the background, so this type of photo is the most popular in the market.

Reaction and discussion of photography market

This is the most popular photo type in all professional portrait photography. People who go to a professional photography company to take pictures, 90% choose this type of photos, otherwise they will think that photographers will not take pictures. There is a joke that says, "If you can't take photos of seven headshots of formula composition type, you will never be able to apply for a photographer because you will never get paid." This kind of indoor shed photo is now synonymous with wedding photography and artistic photography. In the concept of general photography companies and some customers, taking such photos is considered as having taken wedding photos and artistic photos. As for art or not, it is not the key.

Description of key shooting techniques

1. The key shooting technique is almost the same as the formula composition shooting technique on location.

2. The choice of polishing technology for this kind of photos is flexible, and various polishing methods can be used. And the most important thing is that the face can produce bright light quality and aesthetic feeling, and it is easier to take close-up photos with excellent performance and aesthetic feeling.

3. In terms of composition, the most popular composition method in the market is the portrait formula composition method with seven heads and a bust, and professional photographers need to be particularly familiar with this composition. Analysis of photo features and styles

The black-and-white photos in the studio have almost the same characteristics as the black-and-white photos on location, but the size of the studio and the scene is limited, so the composition is mainly based on three formulas in the formula composition method, namely, close-up, bust and seven heads. The change of scene and composition is extremely limited, and the sense of change of general photos can only be obtained by changing the shape. Because the lighting equipment and lighting equipment of this kind of photos in the indoor shed are better than those in the outdoor, the lighting of the portrait face can reach a certain level and aesthetic feeling when close-up.

Reaction and discussion of photography market

The photos of ancient costumes with retro shapes in this kind of photos are works that can arouse people's nostalgic thoughts. People who have a preference for retro sketch photos especially love this type of photos. Moreover, this type of black and white photos can be turned into pastel photos after post-processing; Or through the color printing process, it becomes a unique photo with a single tone. Its change and plasticity are considerable, which is not only a recognized photo type in the market, but also an excellent type for photography companies to publicize and select films.

Description of key shooting techniques

1. The key shooting techniques of black-and-white photos in the shed and black-and-white photos on location are almost the same.

2. Because the indoor lighting equipment is perfect, it can play a more perfect light ratio than the exterior when shooting portraits. If you want to use other methods of composition or expression, you need to be creative, otherwise it will be difficult to break through the style in the shed. Analysis of photo features and styles

The characteristics of positive and negative photos in the shed are basically the same as those of the exterior, but there are obvious differences in composition, that is, the composition of such photos in the shed is mostly close-ups with bust or so. This is because the scene in the shed is extremely limited, and the larger the composition range, the more difficult it is to control the light ratio, and the exposure is easy to fail. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary photographers to take portrait photos with landscape artistic composition in the shed, especially in the positive and negative photos in the shed, and it is rare to see photos with this composition.

Although most negative and positive photos are taken by portrait formula composition method, they are obviously different from ordinary negative photos, that is, the tone of negative and positive photos. Because of the hair color effect of abnormal developed positive photos, their colors are extremely bright and their skin color tends to warm yellow tone.

Reaction and discussion of photography market

Although this kind of photos are still close-up, half-length and seven-body composition in formula composition method, people who like this kind of photos still occupy a considerable proportion in the market because of their unique color sense and customers' preference for close-up photos. This kind of photo is often seen in wedding photo albums. Generally, a large easy-to-shoot 200-degree positive film with exposure latitude is used for shooting. However, in the art photo album, due to technical considerations such as low price and cost, there are few such photos.

Description of key shooting techniques

1. The shooting skills of positive and negative photos in the shed are basically the same as those of negative photos on location.

2. Because indoor photography has perfect lighting equipment, if the photographer adopts the portrait formula composition method, he can take a more perfect photo under the lighting than such photos on location. However, if creative composition other than this composition is adopted, or other shooting forms of large scenes are adopted, it is not easy to compare with the works shot on location because of the limited illumination range, which is why it is difficult to shoot portraits with scenery in indoor photography. Analysis of photo features and styles

The characteristics and styles of indoor shed photos are roughly the same as those of outdoor photos. The image on the screen of this type of photo is rich in coarse texture, which is different from the delicate feeling of other photos. The contrast and tone are slightly dull, but thick lines are used to express the artistic and elegant sense of the photos.

Reaction and discussion of photography market

This kind of photos belongs to a less important category in wedding photography and artistic photography. Only some people who have a unique vision or have studied photography can appreciate this type of photos and understand that the unique and rough particles on the screen are deliberately made technically, not the result of improper technology. And the average customer can't accept this rough phenomenon.

Description of key shooting techniques

The key shooting techniques of this kind of photos are the same as those of exterior photos. Analysis of photo features and styles

The characteristics and styles of this kind of photos are similar to those of outdoor constant light photos, which all use artificial constant light as the main light or auxiliary light source, so the photos are warm yellow tones with constant light color temperature, which is different from the normal color temperature and color tone of ordinary photos. It's just that most of the constant light on the exterior is used as the supplementary light of shooting light, while the constant light in the shed (mostly quartz lamp and shadowless cover) is used as the main light of astigmatism, and most of them use multi-lamp lighting methods, so it's called indoor constant light lighting photos.

The style of this kind of photos is soft and delicate warm yellow tone, soft and warm atmosphere and low contrast. This is because the light value and brightness of the constant light lamp are low, and it is necessary to rely on slow exposure to achieve the purpose of photography. With the help of slow exposure, the sensitivity of the dark part is more detailed, which makes the picture form a soft image style. This is different from the hard tone of photos formed by general flash exposure.

Reaction and discussion of photography market

This type of photo belongs to the warm, romantic and atmospheric photos in the candlelight restaurant, so it has won the favor of women and is also a good photo type in the photography market.

Description of key shooting techniques

The shooting technique of this kind of photos is the same as that of outdoor constant light photos, that is, the yellow temperature of constant light at 3200K and the principle of slow exposure are used to get this kind of photos. Take photos of this kind of indoor shed as long as you pay attention to the following three points:

1. Lighting equipment: In order to make the lighting more perfect, when taking this type of photos in the shed, it is best to have a composite lighting equipment of main light, auxiliary light and background light, and it is best to have more quartz lamp lights with a color temperature of 3200K, so as to make the lighting technology of professional portrait indoor shed more perfect. In addition, in order to improve the light quality, we can use shadowless cover or reflective umbrella to change the stiff direct light into soft scattered light, so as to obtain soft portrait photos.

2. Background equipment: Because this kind of photos pay attention to the creation of atmosphere, it is best to arrange the background as a real scene to avoid losing the realism and three-dimensional sense of the picture due to the use of rigid plane background cloth, which greatly reduces the atmosphere effect.

3. Composition technique: It is best not to use close-ups within seven heads in the portrait formula composition method, otherwise there will only be people like faces, and there will be no telepresence performance of real stories, thus losing the significance of real-life shooting. If you use composition other than close-up, designing the situation of the real scene will help to express the existence and persuasiveness of the theme portrait, which is the best way to increase the atmosphere of the real scene.

9 in the shed-shooting skills of other filter photos

This type of photo has the same characteristics and style as the photos of the same type in the location. Because it is the special effect produced by the function of the filter itself, the same special effect will be produced whether shooting in the studio or outdoors.
