Why is it not photogenic when taking photos?

Question 1: You are very beautiful, but what should you do if you can’t take a photo? It’s actually that simple to take a photo.

1. Expression

1. First of all, be certain Keep your expression relaxed, be confident, and don't always worry about how you look.

2. Smiling is the best photogenic expression. When taking wedding photos, it is recommended that couples should not laugh, so as not to cause obvious fine lines around the eyes and lose their grace.

2. Eyes

1. Showing emotions in each other’s eyes can make the photos look full of affection. Even a simple POSE means that you are listening to your lover’s heartfelt words. Be sure not to look at each other with dull eyes.

2. Strong light will cast shadows on the face, making people squint easily. At this time, you can try to communicate with the photographer and choose to shoot the outdoor scene on a cloudy day, so that the light and effect will be better. The wedding photos you take will also be more beautiful.

3. Practice posing often in front of the mirror, and over time you will be able to master your most beautiful eyes.

3. Angle

1. It is recommended to tilt your head slightly upward when taking pictures, so that the nose will look smaller, and point the nose slightly higher than the lens. , but the facial contour will look more beautiful and the shadows under the eyes can be reduced.

2. Stand up straight naturally and straighten your back, then your slender legs and hip curves will naturally come out, and your expression will become brighter.

3. The body can lean forward slightly. In this way, the vision of the face will be more three-dimensional, and the entire face area will be relatively reduced.

4. Try to make the cheeks slightly profiled at 45 degrees or 65 degrees, so that the face will look smaller and the outline will be more obvious.

5. If you don’t know your most beautiful side, then ask the person holding the camera not to bother you and change the angles. If you want to take a picture from a different angle, one of them will definitely look good.

6. If you are taking photos with relatives and friends at the scene, try to place your face a little behind others. This way, although you "frame" your companions, your face will appear smaller.

In addition, girls must lose weight to maintain a slim and graceful lady's figure and be a little thinner than the standard weight, because they often don't look too fat in life, but they still feel slightly fat in photos. That’s because the lens will stretch like a magnifying glass. If you take a close-up shot, it will stretch and expand, making you slightly swollen.

Question 2: Why do some people just not take photos? In fact, the photos taken by some professional photographers are the same as those in the mirror. What others see is the same as you in the mirror. The reason why your photos don’t look good is because they are not photogenic. Here is the most scientific answer.

Some people are very beautiful, but the photos they take are always not beautiful, so they say "unphotogenic". Haha, I have thought about this problem for a long time, and finally found it through my own photography experience and consulting relevant information. Answer:

1. A beautiful appearance requires the close and organic cooperation of a person’s facial features. A beautiful face will be greatly eclipsed if it is slightly out of balance. It is often said that some people have very different parts of their facial features. They are beautiful, but they don’t look good when put together. It seems that not only the facial features are good, but their matching and proportion are also very important. In this regard, the proportion requirement for beautiful men in ancient China is "three courts and five eyes";

2. Are the photos taken of real people’s faces? It can be said with certainty: 90% of them do not reflect the original appearance, but are deformed! ! , this deformation destroys the delicate proportions of the facial features, making beauties look unsightly. Of course, it also makes some unsightly ones look better than they do in reality;

3. Why are photos deformed?

This kind of deformation is called perspective in photography:

We have seen all the close-up portraits taken with a wide-angle lens, in which the nose of the subject is aligned with other parts of the face. The ratio will appear surprisingly large. This is a form of perspective distortion characteristic of many photos taken with wide-angle lenses.

To understand why this distortion occurs, let's first discuss normal perspective. As we all know, one way our eyes sense distance is by using the relative size of objects. The brain tells us that objects that are far away appear smaller. , the further away, the smaller it appears. In photography, the same method is used to identify the perspective relationship. Distant objects appear smaller than nearby objects of the same size. For this reason, parallel rails appear closer and closer as we look farther away, until they converge into a point. The essence of this phenomenon is that the distance between the rails appears to be smaller. There is another manifestation of perspective, that is, the closer the object is, the stronger the perspective effect. For example, 200 soldiers are marching in a column. If you view or photograph the procession from 10 feet away from the soldier in front, the soldier in front will appear much taller than the soldier at the end. However, if the same team is viewed or photographed 100 meters away from the soldier in front, the size difference between the first and last soldier will not appear so large.

To summarize, in reality, our eyes can eliminate the perspective distortion we see through life experience, but the camera is not so smart, it can only copy the original, so the soldier photographed is in front The ones at the back are taller and the ones at the back are shorter. We can roughly judge the approximate height of the soldiers at the front and rear through life experience.

4. How to avoid this kind of deformation? This is determined by the principle of photography, that is, the lens. It is basically uncorrectable and can only be reduced as much as possible;

So why do wide-angle lenses often produce distorted perspective relationships, such as the root cause of the weird nose in the example? Woolen cloth? Because wide-angle lenses are often used to shoot very close to the subject, the closer the shooting distance, the stronger the perspective effect. The truth is that simple.

In other words, a wide-angle lens does not distort perspective any more than any other lens, provided all lenses are used for shooting at the same distance. In fact, it's not difficult to prove this by experimenting. Use lenses with different focal lengths to photograph a row of pillars or a row of trees or any row of objects. Take all the photos in the same position, and then zoom in on the same part of each image. , the purpose is to get the same size image on the photo. Finally, regardless of the focal length of the lens used, you will not see any difference in perspective in any of the photos. The reason is that all photos are taken at the same distance, that is, the distance from the subject to the lens is the same.

Now, let’s get back to the issue of the weirdly large nose in the close-up portrait. The tip of a person's nose is approximately 1 inch closer to the camera than the rest of the face. Since the subject appears larger the closer it is, the nose will appear disproportionately larger than the rest of the face when photographed close up. So why do wide-angle lenses make this distortion more noticeable? Because in order for the portrait to fill the frame, a wide-angle lens must be extremely close to the subject. For any kind of lens, this distortion will occur when the subject is very close to a certain extent. The closer to the subject, the more severe the distortion. It is precisely because you want the subject to fill the frame that you enter the distortion distance range of the wide-angle lens.

Question 3: Why are the photos not photogenic? There are many reasons why the photos are not beautiful.

The biggest possibility is If you are not confident enough in front of the camera, your expression will be stiff and your eyes will be dull. In this way, the photos you take will be dull.

Second, photos are fixed moments. Most people's facial contours are not necessarily perfect, but they usually look better because we are usually active, and a person's expression and posture also affect our perception of a person's appearance to a considerable extent. judgment, we will not pay attention to those areas that are less than perfect. And because photos have fixed expressions and no movement in the person, our attention will be focused on those parts that were originally not perfect, and we feel that the photos are not ideal.

Thirdly, of course it may be a technical problem of the photographer, but because we cannot control this here, we will not focus on the discussion for the time being.

Solution:

First of all, don’t be discouraged by this, and you can’t stop taking pictures because of this, because always worrying about not looking good in photos will make people more nervous and expressive in front of the camera. If it’s not natural, the photo won’t be beautiful.

The best way is to find out the photos you have taken in the past, analyze them carefully to see which photos you look prettier in, and what angles and shapes you look like in these beautiful photos. expression;

Then practice these expressions in front of the mirror to find the best camera feeling;

When taking pictures, try to face the camera at this beautiful angle , you can take more beautiful photos.

In addition, a confident and cheerful expression can often lead to particularly touching photos. Don’t always worry about something that doesn’t look good, just smile when you should. Smile is the most beautiful expression. When people see a smiling face, their attention will often shift to the smile itself, and they will no longer pay attention to issues such as facial contours, and the photo will be successful.

Question 4: Why isn’t she on camera? Why does she not look good in photos? This girl has good facial features, but she is still young and looks a little childish. But when you get a little older, you will become more and more hydrated.

Question 5: Why is it so ugly when I don’t take pictures well? Du Niang said my answer is too concise

Question 6: Why don’t I always take pictures well? The picture below is about It should still be helpful to pose, look, and express facial expressions when taking photos. There are also a few pictures.

They are: pose more sideways

Reduce eye roll

Five-clawed Golden Dragon

Don’t use too much force on your arms.

Reduce messy hair

To look at the camera or not to look at the camera

Should two feet or one foot be in the camera?

The size of the face at different angles

The imaging effects of different shooting angles...

Question 7: Ask :Why don’t some people take photos well? 100 points is mainly due to two aspects.

First of all, the model lacks experience and does not know how to perform. She is even cautious, timid, behaves unnaturally, and even loses her composure.

The second problem is the photographer. Everyone has their own photogenic side or angle, even handsome dignitaries or public figures are no exception.

This is a matter of coordination.

Question 8: What should I do if the photo is not photogenic? Some brides are naturally shy and don't like to take photos. Therefore, they will appear particularly nervous when they first take wedding photos. This is not a matter of mentality, but that you don't choose the right way to take photos. Don’t worry about your figure, you don’t have to worry about your skin, and don’t worry about whether you can put on a good-looking pose.

In fact, if you want to learn to have a good photogenic effect, there are a few things that are very important. , just like how models appear on camera. If you raise your head slightly when taking a photo, your nose will look smaller. When applying makeup for fashionable wedding photos, never use very bright colors, including eyeliner, etc. This will not only have no effect of enlarging the eyes, but will make them very small. Of course you don't want this to happen. When choosing lipstick, it should be glossy and moisturizing, so that you will have a refined style after taking photos.

When asking your makeup artist, if your face is a little too large, consider asking them to use a little more highlighter. Because it needs to be photogenic, no matter how much you use it, it won’t feel exaggerated. When you get in front of the camera, the wedding photos taken will minimize this exaggerated proportion. If you don’t know how to put on an expression, you can ask the photographer for advice. They all have enough experience. Just follow their instructions and you will definitely not go wrong. You should try to maintain a certain smile. Feel naturally and don't be too rigid. In fact, it all happens in a moment. Try to do it like a relaxed thing to get rid of the tension.

Question 9: Why do some people not look good in photos, but they look better in person? Whether a photogenic person is truly good-looking or not is not determined by one factor. Only from the perspective of the person being photographed, it is related to the person's skin color, face shape, facial features ratio and other factors. For example, some people look very pleasing to the eye. After all, the camera's light-sensitive ability cannot be compared with the human eye, so the photo of his skin color may be very ugly. Another example is that people with less clear facial contours tend to look very dark or yellow in photos.

Of course, skilled photographers can help make up for it, but we amateurs need to practice more if we want to take good pictures.
