Skills of shooting people with SLR camera

When you want to take a portrait, your theme is obviously clear. The next step is to express your theme, so the background becomes less important. Remember, you want to show people, not things around you.

2. Determine the angle you want to shoot in advance.

Many people always like to let models pose in various shapes, but they have never considered them from an angle. The tripod is always there, patting and patting. So, have you ever thought about changing the angle? In addition to the head-up angle we usually use, we can also shoot from behind and below, and then show this person from different angles. Then the whole person will be three-dimensional.

Just like a fat person, from a different angle, her fatness in the camera is different. The same is true of the long legs that everyone likes to shoot.

3. Don't shoot under strong backlight.

I believe many people will have a deep understanding of this. If you are under strong light, you should not only consider the light when shooting, but also close your eyes easily. After all, strong light and reflection are very strong. As soon as you take a picture and people close their eyes, this picture is finished.

4. Let the model look above or below the camera.

People often lament that the photos on ID cards are really ugly, but they don't have certain skills. If your model can move up or down a little while looking at the camera, the shooting effect will be different. Coupled with the smiling expression of the model, the whole picture is different.

5. Pay attention to composition.

Although later software now allows you to spend less time on composition, cut directly. But if you do it while shooting, it will save a lot of time. Usually this should be combined with the theme you are shooting. Whether the character is on the left, on the right, or in which position of Jiugongge, you need to have a clear idea when shooting, rather than casually composing to see the effect.

Step 6 shoot different roles

I believe that many people are attracted to portrait photography precisely because everyone shows something different. So this has to fully express what you want to express. Some people may focus on their eyes, some people may be hands, and some people may want to express meditation. So shoot something different from others that you want to convey, and your character photography will shine. Otherwise, the sameness is meaningless.
