What are the expressive techniques in figure photography?

Portrait photography has created a typical artistic image with both aesthetic value and cognitive value, and achieved a high degree of unity of content and form.

1, familiar with objects

Being familiar with the subject is to go deep into life, observe, analyze, compare and study people in life repeatedly, grasp the essence of the subject, and then use the modeling method of photography to select the typical moments and typical parts of the subject to shoot.

2. Be good at snapping pictures

The shooting method of figure photography is directly related to the picture effect-natural and vivid. Characters are advanced animals with thinking, and they can't swing from side to side like still life. Therefore, when taking pictures of people, it is best to use snapshots to depict the real image of people. When shooting, the photographer can remind the subject what actions and gestures to pay attention to, but he can't command the expression of the character or ask the subject to fix a certain action, instead of grabbing it when taking pictures. The quality of figure photography is vivid, natural and unpretentious, so the method of figure photography should be based on snapshots. Practice shows that successful task photography works are capturing rather than displaying.

3. Highlight expression

The key to figure photography is to mobilize the photographer's subjective role of heat insulation, and use all means and skilled technical skills to highlight the character's demeanor to the maximum extent, reveal the inner world of the character, and achieve the goal of both form and spirit.

Step 4 be full of energy

The actions and gestures in people's daily life are important signs of people's life and labor production, and also important signs of people's temperament, personality characteristics and professional characteristics. The action of depicting people is mainly expressed by people's gestures. People in the picture will feel bored without hand movements, but they will feel energetic with hand movements, because the hand is an active organ, the second face of people and the main expression of people's sports strength.

7. Choose a good angle

The characteristic of figure photography is not only to truly express the image of the figure, but also to make the image of the figure beautiful. Therefore, an experienced photographer should first observe the facial features of the characters before shooting. People's faces are composed of various shapes. Photographers should choose shooting angles according to the different looks of people, highlight beauty and avoid defects, so as to show the true beauty of people's images.
