In order not to make a pie face, many girls will be keen on makeup or retouching with some beauty cameras. Let's take a look at six techniques for taking portraits with mobile phones.

Six skills of mobile phone portrait shooting 1 1, shoot down+bow down.

In order to show a small face when taking pictures, the choice of angle is particularly important. Generally speaking, if you shoot from above, the effect of shooting a small face will be better. At this time, the eyes are closest to the lens, and the part below the eyes is far away from the lens, which visually makes the face small and sharp. In the posture of bowing, a girl with a round face and a big face can easily build a small V face.

2. Pat the side face

If the front shot is a big face, you may wish to shift the shooting focus to the shooting of half a face, choose your best-looking face, show your perfect side face to the camera, and then look up at 45 degrees, not only the face is small, but also the overall outline of the face will be more three-dimensional and beautiful.

Step 3 shoot big scenes

The way of shooting small scenes and big scenes pursues an artistic beauty. At this time, the proportion of the model in the picture is very small. Even if the face is round, the expression is unnatural and the state is not good, you can shoot a good picture effect, but the choice of the scene should not be too casual. Try to choose a clean, concise or unified venue as the background to blend in with the environment.

4. Foreground occlusion

Masking technology is also very common in portrait photography. You can cover your face with all available objects around you, such as trees, walls, cameras or drinks. Taking these objects as the foreground of the picture, covering half of the face will enrich the sense of space and hierarchy, and it is easy to shoot a small face.

5, sideways full-body photo

In fact, full-body photography has the same effect as big scenes. If it is full-length photography, try to take it from the side to avoid the fat and short photos. Moreover, when shooting sideways, the curve of the figure and the outline of the face will be more three-dimensional, slim and beautiful.

Step 6 shoot through the arm

When taking a profile photo, you can also try to take a profile photo through your arm. With the help of hand posture, we can not only create a natural frame for the picture, but also give the portrait beautiful lines. Moreover, looking at the face of the character through the arm, the outline outlined by the arm is in contrast with the model's face, which will inevitably reveal a small face.

Six Skills of Shooting Portraits with Mobile Phone31. Emphasize the subject or object.

If we shoot portraits with mobile phones, people tend to focus on the wide-angle lens or try to show all the elements of the image. Main focus photography usually adopts portrait style, focusing on the subject instead of the background. When shooting, we need to get closer to the subject. Shooting in this way can express the emotions and feelings of the subject more clearly.

2. Create a framework to define points of interest.

This method may require us to observe the surroundings. When something can be used to form a subject, such as a door frame, a window, a corridor, etc. These will help to make the picture more interesting.

Use the trisection method

Use dichotomy to make the theme the focus. If we still remember that when preparing the mobile phone camera, we always start with the grid line and use it together with the trichotomy. It is very important to use the dichotomy. Putting the subject at the intersection of the vertical line and the horizontal line helps the audience to focus on the correct point.

4. Use the guide line to attract your eyes to the spotlight.

So, let's try to see what can be used as a guideline. Abstract and concrete, we can use building structures, road routes and runways to create theme guiding lines.

5. Determine the number of objects in the picture (odd rule)

Many people may not have heard of this rule of thumb. How does this law affect our image and bring an exciting turning point to our image. The time to shoot objects is to determine whether the number of objects we want is odd, three or five, and so on. Usually, our brains work well. When an object sees an odd number, it will attract people's attention well, which is another interesting and exciting way for the audience.

6. Use symmetry to give the image a sense of balance.

Our visualization should be as balanced as possible in the color, size and shape of objects, and there should not be too much difference. In this rule, we can also shoot the reflection between land and water, which is a way to make our image stand out.
