Novice photographer? Seven prescriptions of sudden bottleneck period

Do the friends feel that they can't break through themselves during the bottleneck period, resulting in the level not being improved? This is because you don't know how to make photos more advanced and textured. Share with you some skills I often use in portrait photography, which will be more effective if combined with practice ~

I. Clean background

Find a clean background composition, such as unifying the elements into leaves and flowers, or lowering the plane position to turn most of the background into a clean sky, let the model squat by the water, or stand on a high place to shoot a scene with mixed elements on the street. You can turn up the aperture and blur the background.

Second, increase the sense of hierarchy.

Observe the site more and look for objects that can form the foreground to take such a photo, so that there are at least three levels of composition: front (foreground), middle (main body) and back (background), such as lowering the plane, taking flowers as the foreground or through mirror reflection, not only the foreground composition can be obtained, but also the frame composition can be obtained. Taking a picture of two people can make one person act as the foreground and add a sense of hierarchy.

Third, it is not just the face.

Don't feel that you can only clap your face, expand your thinking, borrow props scenes, and taste clap your hands, feet, collarbone, chin and other parts separately, which is of great help to improve your aesthetics.

Fourth, blur shooting.

Increasing the aperture to focus on the background and making the light source a light spot can enhance the atmosphere.

If the aperture is set to 4, focusing on the subject behind can blur the foreground and highlight the subject.

Lowering the position of the door to keep the plane can get the effect of motion blur, and the figure moves quickly in front of the camera.

Fifth, create an atmosphere.

When the sun goes down and the sky is blue, use objects that can emit warm light, such as orange flashlights, mini-light strings, fireworks sticks, flames, etc., to create a sense of contrast between cold and warm.

Sixth, find more angles.

Think actively and look for more angles, not only the front and side, but also the back and side. Some photos can be reversed later, the effect may be better, and you should dare to create.

Seven, different focal lengths

A lens with multiple focal lengths. Each focal segment is suitable for different shooting methods. For example, in the upper left corner, 50 fixed-focus lenses can be used to take photos close to the face with no obvious distortion. In the upper right corner, use 18- 135 lens to shoot a large composition with a wide angle of 18 to highlight the scenery. The following two pictures are 24-70 shots, in which the whole character is shot with 24 focal lengths and the eyes are shot with 70 focal lengths.
