Full-length portrait of figure photography

All kinds of subjects with characters as the main body belong to the category of portrait photography. Since the birth of 1839 photography, people have always been the most important subject in photography, and the key to the success of portrait photography is to have both form and spirit. In real life, everyone's appearance and personality characteristics are different, and their mental outlook is ever-changing.

A photo of a person, if it captures the expression and emotion of the subject, has a poor appearance, can't stand scrutiny and lacks due artistic expression; On the other hand, if the appearance is similar, but the expression and emotion are not portrayed, then the performance of the characters must be bland and have no lasting appeal.

Therefore, portrait photography can't be limited to taking pictures, but should make full use of the advantages and disadvantages of the characters' appearance, highlight the aesthetic feeling according to the theme, and better convey and depict the mental outlook of the characters through their appearance, so that the characters in the photos look more beautiful, vivid and energetic than the real subjects. Only by being "similar" can we be vivid.

To make portrait photography meet the requirements of "having both form and spirit", photographers should not only correctly master the camera use technology, but also carefully observe and think about all kinds of people in life on the basis of observing excellent photographic works and learning relevant photographic knowledge, so as to cultivate agile thinking and judgment ability. In this way, in the practice of portrait photography, they can be thorough and innovative, seize the opportunity to choose the subject, seize the typical and vivid moment of the subject, and shoot vivid pictures.
