Shooting skills of sweet girl's photo in summer

On a hot summer day, how to take a group of sweet girl photos that are pleasing to the eye? In addition to the need for adequate preparation, there are also many points and skills worthy of attention in the real shooting practice. Let's take a look at the photography skills of sweet girls in summer.

First, prepare equipment and lenses.

Is Canon's SLR EOS selected by the fuselage? Although the positioning of 6d and Canon 6D are both under the 5d series, it definitely does not mean that their performance and image quality are not good. On the contrary, it has the functions of thin and smart advanced body, easy map transmission, remote control wifi and so on. Not long ago, Canon released the upgraded product 6d? Mark, with 26.2 million pixels, a brand-new 45-point focusing system and a high-speed continuous shooting of 6.5 frames per second, has greatly improved compared with the previous generation products, and is also a good choice for subsequent preparation and upgrade.

In terms of lens, 50 lens can take care of both half-length and full-length shooting in portrait photography. The reasonable shooting distance of'1-3 meters is convenient for photographers to keep in touch with models at any time, and the perspective angle has its unique advantage of being approachable. Canon's 50? 1.2 has a coating technology that can effectively suppress ghosts and glare, and it is the first choice for portrait photography with the background blur effect brought by the super-large aperture of f 1.2. In addition, can I take environmental portraits with Canon 35? F 1.4 lens, friends who pursue perfect blur can choose Canon's 85 f 1.2 lens.

Second, theme formulation and scene selection

A good set of works must have a clear theme, and the choice of theme is the core part of the whole shooting, because the next preparation work needs to be carried out around the theme until the final retouching and color matching direction. When shooting in summer, the weather is clear and the temperature is suitable. It is recommended to shoot outdoors as much as possible. First, there is more room for outdoor creation, and second, walking outdoors is good for your health. The most common theme for girls to take pictures is flowers. We can search the flowering period of various local flowers online and arrange the corresponding shooting time according to Citi. For example, May is the season when roses are in full bloom, so you can plan a set of works that combine girls and roses.

If you encounter the hottest July, August and September, and the outdoor temperature is no longer suitable for outdoor shooting, you can change your mind and consider the indoor portrait theme. Some universities are open to the outside world, so you can find classrooms to shoot, or you can find shopping malls, supermarkets, libraries and other places where shooting is allowed to create. The premise of this kind of indoor shooting is to keep quiet as much as possible during the shooting, which will not affect other customers and normal public order.

Third, the choice of shooting time and weather.

Many people don't care much about the setting of shooting time, just make an appointment to shoot. This seemingly small thing actually has a great influence on the final presentation of the work, especially for portrait photos. There is a saying circulating on the Internet that "photography is the art of playing with light", which well reflects the importance of light to photography. The intensity and color temperature of sunlight have different performances at different times and seasons. If our theme is backlighting, it is most appropriate to shoot backlighting from 5 pm to 6: 30 pm on sunny days in summer, and the time to meet the model can be set at around 3: 30 pm.

In terms of weather selection, if it is not necessary to shoot against the light, I recommend shooting in the weather where thin clouds cover the sun. The shadow of direct sunlight on the model's face is deep, and the acne and other defects on the model's face will be more obvious. A thin layer of clouds blocked the air and formed a natural soft box. The skin of the model photographed in this light appears transparent and smooth, which reduces the difficulty of our post-processing.
