Four skills of portrait shooting on location.

Lead: In this topic, we invited Guo Jun, a photographer from Ningbo, to share with us his films with different textures in different periods! Come and have a look!

Generally, when I shoot on location, I usually only use a reflector and don't even use any reflective tools. It looks incredible, so I chose some portraits in different weather conditions and talked about their shooting skills.

The weather outside is changeable, but I like it. Every kind of weather can show different flavors. Below I will share with you four films with different feelings taken at different times.

Shooting parameters: f5.6s.1/500s ISO 100 Camera Canon: 40D.

When the sunshine is particularly good, you can choose a reflector to fill the light appropriately. Generally, the effect of backlight shooting is better, with distinct layers, clear outline and particularly good stereoscopic effect. Models will also enjoy themselves in the beautiful sunshine. Optional lens: white, large aperture.

Shooting parameters: F4 S. 1/200 seconds ISO 100 Camera: Canon 40D

Shooting in rainy days, although the light is not ideal, often the picture texture will be more prominent. The imprint of the ban barge, the passage of time, and the feeling of disappointment will be dull when they are smeared with light. Therefore, when shooting the following group of films, we did not use the light supplement tool, and shot in full natural light, so the shadow was more stereoscopic. Put the camera down, but keep it level with the posture of the characters, and add a little sensitivity to increase the noise, so that you have a nostalgic fashion sense. The model is well integrated into the scene, so this group of films mainly chooses the shooting of big scenes, but in order to make the model stand out in the picture, the background is relatively simple.

Shooting parameters: F4 S. 1/6 seconds ISO 800 camera: Canon 5D2

Night has a suffocating magic for me. This group of works was specially shot at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, full of natural light. When shooting, you can use the street lamp to fill the light, master the angle between the street lamp and the model, and make the model's posture clear and integrated with the night. Of course, the slow shutter speed will inevitably blur the characters, but it will also make the picture more dynamic. The bright yellow lights still reveal my fascination with old Shanghai, and the modern girl staged a midnight carnival for photography.

Shooting parameters: F9 s1160seconds ISO 100 Camera: Canon 40D.

The sunshine in the afternoon is mild. This group of films was shot at 4 pm. As the sun sets, everything is waiting. Shoot against the light again, the background darkens, and the front is filled with outdoor lights, and the light is controlled at about 45 degrees. When the light shines on the model's face at a high angle, the light is pleasant. The softer it shines on the subject, the weaker it is, and the explosive force in tenderness comes from this.
