The best posture for taking pictures

The best posture for taking pictures:

First, peek at the camera or face the camera.

In portrait photography, posture is very important, but posture is the most important thing. Where do you look? This is also part of posing. When shooting, we can secretly aim at the camera through some gaps, such as the left side of the picture above. Or look straight into the camera, like this one on the right. The point is, don't let the surrounding scenery block the line of sight of the characters.

Second, hold your chin or stroke your hair.

Many friends don't know where to put their hands when taking pictures. You can hold your chin with your hands as shown on the left, but be careful not to use force and don't let your hands squeeze your chin. Or, as shown on the right, look back at the camera and touch your hair with your other hand.

Third, lean back.

How can I stand? You can lean back like the picture above, close your eyes or look at the sky. The top picture is left like this, and the other one looks back at the camera. The reason why this photo looks good is that besides posing, it is more important to shoot against the light, which can make people's hair have side light.

Fourth, sitting posture.

Just like the photo on the right above, you can put your legs together and your hands on your chin without looking at the camera. The key point of this photo is that the framing range is relatively small. Compared with the photo on the left in the above picture, you will find that the pose on the left is also good, but the framing range is too large, which will lead to too many elements in the whole picture and the photo looks messy.

Therefore, having a good sitting posture and narrowing the field of vision can make your photos look cleaner.

5. licking your hair and looking at the distance.

If you have beautiful hair, you can shake it like the photo on the left above. Photographers take snapshots when shaking, so the posture is more natural. Or take a sideways photo, your eyes must concentrate on looking into the distance, not at the camera. The photographer shoots against the light and shoots the side light on the hair.
