Pre-expression skills of portrait photography: eliminating concerns

At the beginning of shooting, it may be a strange environment for the model, and it will not be the best state when facing the camera. Maybe it's a strange photographer, maybe it's a passerby, maybe it's the object of special attention. Psychologically, it is a kind of distrust anxiety. I don't believe that I don't believe that photographers don't believe that it is safe here. At this time, you can show her some beautiful photos. When you take an ugly photo of the model, you should delete it immediately, so that the model can get rid of the trouble of ugly photos and build his confidence by looking at beautiful photos.

Open a conversation clip and chat.

In addition, it is important to chat, create a relaxed environment, and also break the boring and embarrassing atmosphere, so that the mind will not be too concentrated and nervous. In terms of topic, we can choose the content close to the theme mood to guide the model's mood. According to the preferences of models, there is no fixed routine. You can talk about gossip, TV series and movies, photography and love, but you should pay attention to the limits when you say some limited jokes, or you will become a bad uncle selling goldfish.

Shooting indoors, you can put some music on.

If your eloquence is not particularly smooth, you can prepare some light music in your mobile phone and bring a small Bluetooth speaker, so that the shooting process will not be too boring, and it will also make everyone relax into the picture and get into the state more easily, but pay attention to the song list. Don't play some low music, or you'll turn your face when you get into the state.

One eye can only last for 3 seconds.

As the saying goes? Eyes are the windows to the soul? But when taking pictures, you need to focus on your eyes to brighten your glasses. When you concentrate, if you open your eyes for a long time, your eyes will become very tired. Some scientists have counted that a perfect eye can only last for 3 seconds. In actual shooting, models should not be allowed to pose for a long time. Pressing the shutter quickly can not only capture the most natural expression, but also keep the model in a good state of mind when looking back at the photo and shooting again.

You don't have to look at the camera.

Some friends get nervous when facing the camera, and their expressions become strange. At this time, you can ask the model not to look at the camera, shoot the side and back of the model first, or ask the model to bow in the opposite direction, such as lower left and lower right, or raise his head 45? Look up and wait. Looking at it from another angle, the model is still very beautiful. There is no need to stare at the camera. After all, some people are really not suitable.

Don't be too deliberate, just put the key positions in place.

Sometimes, the photographer will leave some actions that may look good in his mind, but in actual shooting, these actions can't be put out comfortably. But if the action is too deliberate, the model may not get the feeling that the photographer wants, and even think that poss will not look good and lose confidence in you. The most important thing for photographers to do in action is to give timely feedback to the models about what problems exist in their poss and correct them in time.

For details, please refer to the series of articles in Photographer: Teach You to Capture the Goddess's Heart (Part I): Clean up the Dead Corner of Photographing, and Portrait Photography depends on whether these points are done or not, all of which mentioned the corresponding' portrait action guidance'.

Funny expressions help to relieve tension.

Finally, regarding the necessary skills of the goddess coquetry, photography can fully show the lovely side of a series of models in continuous shooting, and at the same time, when writing in sugar water, you can naturally smile at this time, avoiding the problem of stiff smirk and increasing the interest of taking pictures.

Guide and control emotions

Emotion refers to an idea or emotion that you bring to the audience in the photo after this creation. Before shooting, the photographer needs to know what this group of photos should feel, including the choice of environment, the coordination of clothes, the composition of movements and the idea of characters' expressions. After the above objective conditions are conceived, share them with the model before shooting, so that the model can understand your thoughts. When shooting, start from the topic and approach this direction step by step, so that the models can enter this state together.

Leave a good impression

How can I leave a good impression on the model? To sum up, there are only four words:? Bold and cautious? . When shooting, there are often some things that models need the help of photographers to solve. For example, models are hot, they need paper towels to wipe their sweat, or they need to rest and make up their makeup, or their hair is messy but they don't notice it, or they feel cold. Careful discovery of the needs of models is also a kind of mutual respect, and it is necessary for photographers to come forward in any dangerous situation during shooting.
