How to take pictures of people with mobile phones

1. Avoid the sun. On sunny days, we are always in the mood to go out and take pictures. But when taking pictures, you should avoid the sun. Direct sunlight will not only make the people in the photo squint, but also easily form a "yin and yang face". If you can choose the location of the photo, try to avoid direct sunlight and choose a cool place.

Natural light is the best light.

The photos taken by natural light are much better than those taken by the lighting effect of the studio. Because there are not only lights in the room, but also other light sources, including outdoor natural light. Under different light irradiation, the photos taken are prone to color difference.

Natural light is different from direct sunlight. If you want to take beautiful photos indoors, you'd better turn off the indoor lights and walk to the well-lit windowsill. You can try several times to find the best shooting point. In practice, it is found that the best shooting angle is when the person makes an angle of 45 with the light.

3. Capture light.

Have you ever observed that people's eyes in some photos are more attractive than those in others? The reason may be related to post-production, but when taking pictures, we can also capture the light skillfully to add more attraction to the eyes of the characters.

How to capture light? That's actually the reflection of light on people's eyes, and this is the role of lighting in professional photography. Which position is most suitable for light reflection? The position above the eyes is perfect. To achieve this effect, you should know how to use your mobile phone to arrange the posture of the characters, and ensure that the characters do not bow their heads and wear hats. Observe the light source from the screen to determine which direction to shoot people.

4. Keep a clear horizontal position with the characters. Even if the mobile phone photographer moves his position slightly, he will get unexpected results. What they need to do is try their best to keep their position on the obvious horizon. For example, when shooting a child, you can squat down; When shooting someone taller than you, you can stand on a high platform and try to keep consistent with the horizon of the person. Of course, this rule is not immutable, but fortunately, the viewfinder of mobile phone photography is the mobile phone screen, so we can adapt it more conveniently.
