What are the skills of portrait photography in winter?

The scenery in winter is unique, so how to take portrait photos in winter? The following content is my winter portrait photography skills for you, I hope it will help you!

The core point of winter portrait shooting is to combine the unique scenery and images in winter with the state of the characters.

Specific techniques, highlighting a "contrast"

The "coldness" of the environment should be set off by local warmth, or conversely, the local warm atmosphere should be set off by the coldness of the big environment-this is the inevitable leading technique in most winter portrait photography works.

Landscape features:

The mainstream scenery elements of winter framing include: various forms of snow; Many dry winter branches spread between heaven and earth; Characteristic buildings; Brightly lit street scenes and so on.

Details:

Some details (props) with winter characteristics, such as: girls' fluffy and beautiful scarves, knitted hats, brightly colored cotton socks, Christmas lights on branches, snowflake patterns stuck on bar windows, cups filled with foamed coffee, and burning bonfires. ...

Color:

Contrastive use of cool colors and warm colors. In the cold theme atmosphere, a red rose makes you feel more passionate than her in summer.

Clothing:

Try to show the beauty of winter clothes-remember what we said earlier, we should use the cold of the big environment to set off the local warm atmosphere. Under normal circumstances, this is the constant theme of winter portraits. Unless there are special performance intentions or special environmental requirements, don't let your model stand in the snow "thinly exposed"-it looks abnormal and often fails to shoot the "big film" you want.

Scene:

Design some winter scenes popular with girls, such as hugging in the snow, sitting on the sofa drinking black tea and reading, or climbing to the beautiful glass window and staring at the hazy scenery outside. ...

For photographers in the south, the seasonal characteristics of winter are not obvious, so it is really difficult to take good-looking photos with winter characteristics-the easiest way is to abandon the big scene and work hard on the details to satisfy the girls through clothing, props, lighting effects and post-production. For example, the following photo can be copied anywhere in any season.
