What other poses are there besides scissorhands when taking pictures?

In portrait photography, in fact, we can set the basic pose of the model in the initial state, and then make an extension action in combination with reality during the shooting process.

For example:

-Run!

-Sit down

-Stop it!

-Jump

-Sleep

In each basic pose, you can make corresponding extension actions according to the subject of photography, the photographer's idea and the model's state.

The following will be illustrated by a group of my works:

Basic posture-standing

In the above four pictures, you will find that the model has made extended movements on the basis of standing, such as closing her eyes and raising her hand sideways, staring into the distance with her eyes open and staring at the camera sideways. , are extended on the basis of standing, in line with the scene, artistic conception and photographer's needs at that time.

Basic posture-sleep

On the basis of sleeping on the ground, the model did not move, so I changed the shooting angle, flat shooting, prone shooting and prone shooting, thus obtaining rich scenery and emotions.

Basic posture-Squat

In the same way, when we squat down, if we feel that we can only shoot flat, then we must change the direct distance between the photographer and the model to achieve different scenes and enhance the narrative of the picture story.

Basic posture-running

In the specific shooting environment, you don't necessarily need to run this basic posture, but there is a special trick-if you originally shot a movie, you want it to be lively, dynamic and chic.

Novice models are generally nervous in front of the camera, so you can try to warm up by running and take a snapshot while running (at this time, there will be a great chance to waste the film, but the main purpose is to relax the model so as not to strain the body and eyes).

Like these two photos, it is an extension of the warm-up after running-shaking your hair to conform to the shooting scene and theme at that time.

Summary:

In portrait photography, many novice friends are friends around them, because most of the models they ask out are friends (that is to say, the other party lacks the experience of being photographed).

So in order not to be embarrassed in the shooting process, but also to make a good film.

It is recommended to make some preparations:

1. Prepare 50 samples with the same theme in advance, which contains a lot of action references.

2. Send the samples to the models in advance and communicate with them whether the specific posture can be realized.

3. After arriving at the shooting scene, make an extension action according to the scene situation.

That's my answer.
