What should Photoshop pay attention to when retouching clothes?

The first part of the shoot

1, choose models according to clothes.

For model shooting, the first step is of course to choose a model. The most important thing here is to choose the right model according to the type of clothes you want to shoot. This mainly considers the temperament of the model and her expressive ability. These can be screened out from the previous shooting cases of models. Listen to the opinions of photographers and stylists if possible.

Step 2 choose a scene

Since it was taken outside, the scene is naturally very important. You can find a seat one day in advance. (Now some places are not allowed to shoot, and it is only a few meters. ) This will save time. Don't think I'm talking nonsense The scene should be chosen according to the style of clothes. For example, fashion can be chosen in shopping malls or bustling business districts, OL style can be chosen in office buildings or offices, and petty bourgeoisie can choose cafes or books. In short, it is necessary to coordinate. Another thing to be reminded is that you must pay attention to the scenery around you at ordinary times, and often you can't find a good scene instead of no good one.

3, collocation, props preparation

Of course, the matching and props should be prepared in advance, and the clothes to be matched should be prepared in advance according to the clothes to be photographed. In order to improve efficiency, you can make matching records on the clothes to be matched in advance. In addition, bring some hats, bags, shoes, wild bottoming clothes, leggings, glasses, headwear and other accessories. What I want to say here is that as a professional racquet company, we have many different styles of collocation and props, but the most important thing for everyone is not to match more but to match better. Just remember the word "clown".

Step 4 make-up and styling

Make-up should be natural; Not too thick, you can use nude makeup.

On the exterior, the makeup artist should make up the makeup at any time according to the makeup of the model, especially in shiny places, and must use dry powder. Generally speaking, there are three places where makeup is often needed: foundation, blush and lipstick. These makeup tools can be put in the bag with the back, which is convenient for makeup.

Step 5 change clothes

The reason why changing clothes should be taken out separately is because outdoor pats have a special dressing room than tent pats. If you don't pay attention to changing clothes outside, it will greatly affect efficiency, and half of the time may be occupied by changing clothes, so our suggestion is to use a changing tent, which can change clothes anytime and anywhere. The key is to improve efficiency!

6. About shooting

About composition

Composition is particularly important for outdoor shooting, because the outdoor shooting environment is more complicated and the objects are more abundant. A little carelessness will greatly reduce the quality of the film in composition. You should have seen similar nine-grid composition and diagonal composition in other places before. These are all very practical composition methods that everyone can adopt. Avoid the phenomenon that the background of long trees and long telephone poles on the characters' heads affects the beautiful picture. If you are not confident about the composition, you can try to use a big scene when shooting and make a second composition adjustment later.

About light

Most outdoor light sources are natural light, and the light is complex and changeable according to the different weather and environment. In the case of smooth light and no direct light, it is enough to ensure normal exposure. If you are not sure about the exposure control, you can appropriately reduce the exposure to adjust the post-exposure to avoid overexposure and overexposure. In the case of backlight, it is suggested to fill the model's face with a reflector (you can also use cardboard and white paper to make a reflector yourself). If you have a certain photography foundation, you can try to shoot against the light. This method can outline the model and form a halo effect!

About setting selection

The scene selection mentioned here can be understood as choosing the shooting background in a sense. If the background is well chosen, the film yield is naturally high. Green wave vision gives you some suggestions based on experience: ① corridor and road, which is the so-called deep background choice. 2 Steps, outdoor shooting often pursues a natural effect, which can capture beautiful natural pictures when the model goes up and down the steps. 3 railings, many beautiful railings are very suitable for the background. At the entrance of 4 stores, the entrance of many fashion shops is also the best background for outdoor shooting, especially in shops with dark backgrounds. Bench, you should make good use of the facilities in each position, such as benches. Now there are benches in many places, and many benches with unique shapes are very suitable for taking pictures. Models can also try various styles.

In addition, some suggestions need to be given: if the background is complex and unclean, the combination of focal length and aperture can be used for composition processing and background blur processing. (Long focal length+large aperture = virtual background)
