How to choose posture and facing angle in figure photography?

In figure photography, posture and direction angle are the key points of figure modeling. Posture refers to some form of the subject's body, hands and feet. Azimuth angle refers to the orientation of the subject's face, which is called azimuth for short. Both of them vary from person to person, from thing to thing, and there is no fixed format, but they are generally based on the principles of beauty and nature, and are properly selected and organized. 1, posturesnbsp Characters have different body shapes such as fat, thin, wide and short, so choose or organize certain postures. Nbsp; honesty; The body is facing the camera, and it is easy to show the width of the body shape, showing a straight line and having a solemn or dull feeling. Transverse nbsp The body forms a certain side angle with the shooting lens, which is easy to show body lines, especially for women. For a relatively fat figure, when shooting a half-length sideways portrait, you can put your back close to the edge of the picture, and you can get the effect of hiding in the bunker. Keeping your chest straight is easy to show your upward temperament. Nbsp backnbsp。 Sitting sideways, the chest is not straight, which has the characteristics of leisure. Suitable for rest, conversation, reading, writing and other plots, and can be used for busts of all ages. Tilting nbsp No matter how the body tilts at any angle, it can give people a lively and dynamic visual effect. In addition, use gestures to match the photos taken. 2. Angle-oriented portrait photography has many angles: the front orientation is called a decahedron, and the subject is symmetrical on the screen; Nine faces, the orientation of which forms a side angle of 18 degrees with the shooting lens; The side angle of the octant is 36 degrees; The side angle of the heptagon isnbsp 54 degrees; The side angle of sextant is 72 degrees; A pentahedron has a side angle of 90 degrees. At this time, the subject only shows one eye on the screen, that is, the whole side. There is no fixed format for determining the angle, but we must master the following two principles: choose the angle according to the contour of the face. There are many kinds of faces, long, round and square. When taking pictures, you should combine the face shape and choose the angle. Egg-shaped face, front and side angles are suitable for shooting. Round face, for children, any angle is no problem; For adults, it is more appropriate to use seven or eight facets laterally, which can give people proper concealment. Square face, for men, positive angle shooting can show masculinity better; For women, you can choose a certain side angle to hide your cheekbones. For a long face, it is appropriate to choose seven sides to hide the length. According to the five senses, choose the angle of facial parts, mainly including forehead, nose, cheeks and cheekbones.
