Is it so difficult to shoot beautiful women?

The aesthetic modeling of portrait photography is unique to commercial portrait photography. The audience of commercial portrait photography is customers. Because most customers want to take good-looking photos, photographers need to make full use of shooting angles, props environment, lighting modeling and other means to beautify customers. In commercial portrait photography, the beauty of the figure should be determined according to the following aspects: 1. The temperament type of the customer. A person's temperament is a comprehensive reflection of experience, cultivation and living conditions. After seeing and contacting customers, photographers should have a general classification of customers' temperament, such as some customers are lively and cheerful, some customers are quiet and dignified, and some customers are noble and elegant. When designing for a quiet and dignified guest, the facial expression should be implicit, the shape of limbs and body should not change much, and the posture of the characters should be static. Second, the external characteristics of customers In portrait photography, we generally pay attention to the five senses and body characteristics. Different facial features have different aesthetic styles. Generally, the clients we shoot have more or less facial features and are not perfect in shape. In this respect, the aesthetic style should be different: 1, forehead protruding: when shooting, the subject should be required to lower his chin and tilt up. Or design the hands, hair, etc. of the subject. Cover his forehead. 2. Fat face: When shooting, let the subject half face the camera. Take a frontal portrait and avoid using flat light. 3. Face-lifting type: When shooting, let the subject's face face the camera, the plane is bright and the brightness is low. Don't let the facial cheekbones or cheekbones of the characters stand out in the frame. 4, nose is not correct: when shooting, let the subject face the camera half or side. Front shooting 5, high nose bridge: When shooting, let the subject face the camera, flat and soft. 6, concave nose: When shooting, let the subject face the camera and adopt the front position, which is best to produce highlights on the nose of the character. 7. Baldness: When shooting, let the subject wear a hat or wig, and don't let the customer bend over to face the camera. 8, double chin: whether fat or thin, this is a common phenomenon. When shooting, please stretch the subject's chin forward and lengthen the chin muscles to avoid crowding together. You can also shoot at high altitude. 9. Eyes of different sizes: When there are obviously eyes of different sizes, it can be solved by the stylist sticking fake double eyelids. When taking pictures, customers can also open their eyes wide or turn their eyes to different places. You can also make the subject's small eyes close to the lens and decorate the subject too far with small perspective changes. 10, convex eye: when shooting, you can shoot a frontal portrait and project it on the subject with flat and soft light. 1 1, there are spots on one side of the face: let the marked side of the subject turn his back to the camera or cover it with hair, hands and accessories. 12. Fan your ears: cover them with hair, hands and headgear, so that the ears close to the camera are in the shadow. It is not appropriate to take a positive portrait. 13, cross-eyed: Try not to shoot head-up, let customers turn up and down, left and right, and find the most suitable angle to shoot. 14, stout: Let the subject wear dark clothes and shoot with dark background and props. 15, legs slightly shorter: when shooting, let the subject wear uniform color clothes and shoot low. 16, the arm is too thick: improve by dressing. When taking pictures, keep your arms away from your body. Don't squeeze your arm. Cover your fingers with ornaments to reduce the area occupied by your arms in the picture. 17, abdomen protruding: when shooting, let the client hold out his chest and abdomen, and improve it by gesture or holding flowers. 18, the distance between two people is too big: let the thinner one get close to the camera, block part of the other one or turn the angle to make the fatter one look thinner. 19, the legs are too rented: let the subject wear a long skirt or cover it with props and ornaments. 20. The hand shape is not beautiful: Turn the angle of the hand and choose a beautiful angle to shoot. If there is no ideal angle, you can shoot by wearing gloves and covering with accessories. Third, the posture and demeanor of the subject 1, standing portrait: Standing portrait is one of the most common postures in portrait photography, which can fully display the lines of people, with great aesthetic freedom and many postures. When posing for a standing portrait, we should pay attention to the following points: a. One leg of the subject stands straight, and the other leg is freely crossed or slightly lifted. The straight leg should not be bent, and the lifted leg should keep the body straight. The laying of legs and feet is the premise of laying upper body parts. B, the subject's head, chest and buttocks are generally not in a straight line. Let the main line of the body form a curve or S line. C, head, chest, buttocks formed by the plane block should not be in a plane. For example, when the chest lump is forward, the face should be sideways. For example, when the chest is sideways, the ass should be turned forward. D. general standing posture requires swinging from the feet. 2. Sitting portrait: Sitting portrait is more restricted than standing portrait, but sitting posture can form a beautiful curve, which is also conducive to eliminating the tension of the subject. Sitting posture is based on sitting posture inclined to the camera at 45 degrees, which can be divided into three types: oblique sitting posture, back sitting posture and side back sitting posture. The angles formed by the upper and lower torso can be divided into right-angle sitting posture, obtuse sitting posture and acute sitting posture. If the legs are crossed, they can be divided into thigh crossing and calf crossing. When shooting sitting portraits, we should pay attention to the following aspects: a. Sitting portraits are suitable for expressing static expressions, and the expressions of the subjects should be restrained, including animals. B, the treatment of subjects' joints is the key part. On the whole. It's rare to take pictures in a sitting position, because then your knees will rush to the camera and your thighs will look thick and clumsy. C. The spine treatment of sitting portraits is also very important, because the emotions of sitting portraits are written on the back, especially when the side is facing the sitting posture and sitting posture. When the mood is high and the spirit is full, the spine is always straight. When in a bad mood, the spine will be greatly curled, while the spine in a normal state of mind is only slightly bent. Therefore, when the subject sits down, the photographer should remind him not to sit too firmly, to sit in vain, and not to lean back on the chair. Pay attention to supporting the upper body with his spine. D, sitting portrait is not easy to show the figure, generally do not choose loose and fat clothing, in order to better reflect the figure curve and the lines of limbs, it is best to let customers wear tight clothing. E. When you are sitting, you should first look for the most suitable body proportion from the lens. Only when the proportion is normal will the visual experience be comfortable. The smoothness and integrity of lines is a problem that can not be ignored in sitting posture modeling. Sitting posture often interrupts the extended figure curve, and the lines in sitting posture are often locked and appear messy. Sitting posture can more calmly show the modeling advantages of the upper body, and can make full use of the characteristic curve of the outer contour of the upper body to show the figure. Coupled with the coordination of limbs, a relatively complete and smooth body curve can be formed. When dealing with exposed parts of the body, such as arms, waist, abdomen and thighs. 3. Double-person modeling: Double-person photos are often encountered in wedding photography. Compared with single photos, double photos are more diverse in beauty modeling. There are not only changes in the body, lines and expressions of a single character, but also exchanges between roles. When posing a pair of beautiful postures, we must not forget the echo and change between the two. When shooting two people's wedding dresses, we should pay attention to the following aspects: A. The beauty of two people should pay attention to the changes of each other's bodies when modeling, from the perspective of human body structure. The human body is divided into three parts: head, chest and buttocks. When we study the beauty modeling of the duo, we divide them into two groups to study. Generally, the subject has six basic structural combinations relative to the lens: female body, male body, female body, female body, male body and female body, female body and female body. On the basis of these six basic combinations, further fine-tuning and subdivision can produce endless beautiful shapes. B, double beauty modeling should pay attention to the changes of lines in the picture. The lines in the picture have different meanings. For example, straight lines give people a feeling of being tall and vigorous, which is suitable for expressing the beauty of men. Curves give people a gentle and quiet charm, which is suitable for expressing beautiful environment or gentle female beauty. Charts are dynamic, if the number of diagonals is small in the picture. If there is less movement and more diagonal lines, the sense of movement of the whole picture will become very strong. When the diagonal inclination is not too great, the sense of movement becomes moderate. Fourth, the beautiful posture should be consistent with the characters' expressions and environmental atmosphere. In portrait photography, the attitude expression of the subject and the artistic space of the characters are interrelated. The different environments of shooting characters have different styles of beauty. For example, when the subject is in a warm environment, the posture of the subject should be softer. When the figure is in a warm environment, the beautiful shape of the figure should be unrestrained. In portrait photography, the pose modeling of the subject and other modeling elements in the picture are a complete whole, and the change of any modeling element in the picture will affect the beauty modeling of the subject. Photographers must not study beauty modeling from the actual situation of the subject and its environment.
