Complete solution of composition skills in half-length photography

The so-called portrait photography is a form of photography with characters as the main object of creation. I have a complete understanding of the composition skills of half-length photography. I hope I can help you. Let's have a look.

How to compose a portrait photography?

Scene 1: Common Techniques for Blurring the Beauty of Background in Portrait Photography

1. Select the bright part as the background, which is greatly blurred.

Choose the brighter part that the light can shine on as the background to avoid leaving a heavy impression on the picture. It should be noted that evergreen trees have strong colors, and even if they are blurred, they will not look too beautiful. The photographer's background is not necessarily a plant, but also a brightly colored wall.

2. Use backlight to make hair produce high-gloss effect.

When the photographer stands, he must carefully think about the position and choose the right position to make his hair stand out and look shiny. Once the hair looks shiny, the photographer's expression will give the viewer a special impression. If the hair looks dark, the whole picture will look dark, so the photographer needs to add highlights consciously.

3. Illuminate the dark face with a reflector.

Effective use of reflector can brighten the dull face caused by backlight and make the skin rich in texture. When shooting portraits, in principle, backlight or side light should be used, which is not suitable for front light and will make the face appear obvious shadow. Therefore, when shooting portraits outdoors, the reflector is an essential shooting tool.

4. You can cut off your arm when writing.

Sometimes the posture of the subject will make his shoulder or wrist part exceed the composition range, which is not a problem at all. On the contrary, it can change the picture and give people a bold feeling, so don't hesitate to continue shooting. If you barely put all the subjects in the photo, the photo will look mediocre. Try to make a bold composition.

Scene 2: A wide-angle portrait with a clever blend of background and subject.

1, showing a sense of spaciousness

The perspective of the photo is very wide, even the zenith is included in the picture. When shooting with a wide-angle lens, the picture will also contain unexpected parts, so the composition must be carefully arranged. Photographers should be aware of the viewfinder rate of the camera for composition and consider how to use the space flexibly.

2, flexible use of deformation around the picture

The picture taken by wide-angle lens is particularly transparent, so it will be interesting to use this feature consciously to shoot. In the above picture, the deformation of the photographer's foot is exaggerated, resulting in a unique visual effect.

3. Boldly enjoy the feeling of transparency

If you shoot from bottom to top, it will be like this photo, and the walls and iron gates in the background have strong penetration. Flexible use of such transparency in the picture can make the whole composition look very novel. When using a wide-angle lens, boldly changing the shooting angle can bring unique visual effects.

4. Do not use the focus lock function to focus.

When shooting from bottom to top with a wide-angle lens, avoid using the mode of central focus+focus lock. Because it is too close to the focus subject, it is easy to lose focus, which is called cosine error. Focus should be selected in advance to avoid camera movement caused by focus locking, so as to focus accurately.
