What are the skills for taking wedding photos underwater?

A shooting skill of underwater wedding photos.

1: Use a wide-angle lens.

There are suspended particles in the water, no matter how good the quality is. The farther the subject is, the worse the definition of the photo is. Therefore, when taking underwater wedding photos, Bian Xiao suggested that you should try to use a wide-angle lens to enlarge the subject.

2. Grasp the shooting time

The shooting of underwater wedding photos is very time-sensitive. Usually the best time to take wedding photos underwater is around noon. Bian Xiao advocates that underwater photography is best taken at sunny noon, because at this time, the sun is above, the sun shines directly on the water, with little reflection and the strongest light in the water. The photos taken at this time are also the best and the effect is the best.

3. Natural light during the day

Underwater lighting is difficult to achieve, and it is too troublesome, which affects the freedom of shooting. Natural light is enough during the day, because it is actually very bright and transparent underwater. The sunlight is direct, the water is sparkling and the light is constantly refracted, which is very beautiful. In fact, due to the limitation of equipment, the performance of photos is actually limited. It's nice to have the opportunity to open your eyes and see for yourself.

4. Borrow backlight and metering

When shooting in water, try to avoid the camera shooting directly down, because it is smoother at this time, and the photos taken lack a sense of hierarchy and contrast. The best photographic viewpoint is equal to or lower than the subject. At this time, the illumination is side light or side backlight, and the photos taken are well-defined and the contrast is just right.

Second, makeup artist of underwater wedding photos.

1: eyes

Blue eye shadow is suitable for brides with fair skin. Both transparent matte and Ivylinna Lee pearls are the best choice for underwater wedding photos. Matte eye shadow is best to use only monochrome, which can avoid the messy makeup feeling caused by excessive unnatural; Pearlescent blue eye shadow must be matched with ice white and ice silver, which will make eye makeup more moist and show mirror luster.

2: Lips

Avoid too beautiful lip color, otherwise it will steal the limelight of eye makeup. Pearl-free nude lip gloss is the best choice, adding a touch of fashion to the gorgeous blue.

3: Cheeks

Brighten cheekbones with transparent high gloss powder.

Every couple wants to fix the most beautiful moment in their lives on the wedding photos, and taking a beautiful underwater wedding photo has become the best record for the couple. Although I felt a little tired in the process of taking underwater wedding photos, I left an unforgettable shooting experience and sweet love memories for the couple.

Third, matters needing attention in underwater wedding photography

1. The beauty of light amplification

At noon, the light in the water is strongest. When shooting in water, most people will fall in love with the unique waterscape charm of light and shadow and the flattering dynamics of wedding dresses flying. Therefore, when taking underwater wedding photos, you should try to choose sunny weather, and you can light it manually when the strong light is insufficient.

2. Enjoy, don't be shy

Perhaps not many newcomers can fully show the graceful swimming style like a mermaid, but when shooting underwater, pose is not limited. As long as the limbs stretch naturally, the waterscape will naturally add points to the photos, and there is no need to deliberately challenge the difficult pose for the beauty on the proofs.

Don't see through the wedding dress

A light wedding dress with tulle fabric is most suitable for underwater shooting. It is recommended to choose a big skirt as much as possible. The yarn at the bottom floats better underwater, and there are more layers of yarn, so that with the underwater swimming, the skirt will fluctuate and sway, which will be more vivid and beautiful! Moreover, it is best for the bride to choose a light and thin fabric wedding dress, and pay attention to the key parts not to penetrate, so as to prevent herself from coming out because of floating on the water. If you take a personal photo underwater, then I suggest you try to take a variety of styles according to your own preferences.

4. Being a mermaid is not a fantasy

In the past, people thought it was best to spread their long hair when shooting in water, but Pirates of the Caribbean 4 completely changed the image of mermaid in everyone's mind. In addition to the traditional long hair and elegant wandering posture, you can simply braid your hair on your head like a mermaid in the movie, and choose natural materials such as flowers as headdresses.

5. Eat before shooting

It must be unforgettable and meaningful to take wedding photos underwater and witness each other's sweet love. But be careful, you must remember to eat before shooting. Swimming on an empty stomach will affect appetite and digestive function, and you may feel dizzy and weak when swimming. However, you should not eat too much. Overeating and swimming may cause stomach cramps, vomiting and even abdominal pain.

warm up

The water temperature in the swimming pool is generally lower than the body temperature, so warm-up exercises should be done before entering the water, otherwise it will easily lead to discomfort. You should rest for a while before eating after swimming, otherwise it will suddenly increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and easily cause gastrointestinal diseases for a long time. Wipe off the scale with a soft dry towel in time after swimming.

7. The bride should not take photos during her menstrual period.

Brides need to pay special attention, swimming during menstruation, germs easily enter the uterus, fallopian tubes and other places, causing infection, leading to irregular menstruation, excessive menstruation, prolonged menstruation and so on. If you have symptoms such as water phobia, pregnant women and physical discomfort, please do what you can, and don't damage your precious body for beauty.

8. Practice in advance

If you have time, you can do some preparation and practice at home first. Newcomers who are afraid that they can't open their eyes when shooting can also practice at home first. In fact, psychological function is very important. If you overcome this reason, it will be easy to open your eyes!
