A photographer is not a good photographer if he can only shoot girls with excellent figure and perfect face. I believe that friends who play photography will encounter such a situation, that is, they are asked by ordinary friends around them to take artistic photos. Then the problem is coming. If you promise to help her shoot, you must already know what the effect will be. If you don't promise, the boat of friendship will turn over. Reverse thinking When you are in a dilemma, why not take this opportunity to exercise yourself?
Your own photography skills?
They are not professional models, but everyone has her beautiful side in appearance. They don't know much about emotional expression, and they don't know what angle they look most beautiful in others' eyes, so you should find her first.
The beauty of children, knowing how to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses is the most important thing in a shot, especially ordinary them. There are many definitions of taking a good photo, but all of them are inseparable from having a comfortable impression. What photographers have to do is to make models or others feel comfortable and natural when looking at this photo.
Lens selection
When it comes to taking portraits, conditioned reflex can be thought of as 35 mm/ 1.4 or 50 mm/ 1.4 or even 85 mm.
F/ 1.2 lens. If there is, of course, you can use your bull's head to add points to this shooting. But it doesn't matter if there is no standard lens or cheap fixed focus. The reason is that we don't need to pursue the ultimate environment
In exchange for good image quality, the main conditions (models) of our shooting are not very good, so we can only choose excellent shooting ambient light and environment artificially. As for the fuselage, what is the use, no one can say for sure.
A full-frame camera must shoot better than an APS-C camera.
What is a standard lens? That is, 18-55mm, 18- 105mm, 18- 135mm lens or18-/40mm camera lens. Zoom is recommended because we can do it at both wide-angle and telephoto ends.
Flexible use. The choice of focal length has a great influence on portrait shooting. Take plane shooting as an example. I don't recommend using the telephoto end (100mm or more) because the face is big and the whole body is fat. The more appropriate the focal length.
/kloc-within 0/00 mm, especially 35mm and 50mm, 85mm is very suitable for perfect figure but obviously does not meet the shooting requirements of this content. Below 28mm, there is a wide-angle sign to use according to the situation.
By the way, wide-angle distortion has a magical effect on repairing face and stretching long legs, which is achieved by strengthening the sense of depth through the edges. This is why the 28mm field of vision of mobile phones always makes girls feel better when taking selfies.
Look, its essence is to lengthen the edge of the picture to achieve the effect of long legs and small face, as shown below.
The essence of wide-angle utilization
So after mastering the essence of wide angle, you can use this to add points to your portrait shooting.
Make up/make up/make up/make up/make up/configure/make up/make up (a bed)
For friends who are not photogenic, take good-looking photos and don't want to make up. I really can't do it. A beautiful makeup is definitely a prerequisite for a pleasant shot. As one of the four great witchcraft in Asia, the infinite possibilities of makeup.
Sex is simply unfathomable, but in general, I think it's almost enough to have foundation, eye shadow, blush and lipstick, mainly to cover up the flaws on my face to the maximum extent in the early stage. Since it's called witchcraft, you can see makeup.
Power can be powerful enough to turn one person into another, but if it is too much, it may be counterproductive (unless the model requires it). Makeup is a very important step, but remember not to overdo it.
Side method
As mentioned above, if everyone's beauty is not in front, you can try to observe it from the side. For most girls whose faces are not good-looking, the best way to guide them is to turn their backs on you, turn around and look back. Flat shooting should be the least desirable, and it will only show the shortcomings.
After makeup, your shooting is basically based on the creed of "thin cover and a hundred ugliness". We all look at people's photos from the five senses. As a photographer, you can design all the scenes and pose models.
Cooperation between them. The beauty of the photos taken is not only related to the model, but also depends on the coordination of angle and light. First of all, we should try to make the characters in the photos look thinner, such as girls taking selfies.
The most common method is to cover your face with your hair.
The expression method of side face beauty also needs to judge the deflection angle according to the face shape. Generally speaking, a straight line from the camera lens to the tip of the nose and then to the contour of the cheek edge is a good angle. Too many people can't see the expression conveyed by the other eye at the same time, but emphasize the sense of emptiness.
Silhouette method
Silhouette should be the most powerful trick in portrait photography. Nothing else, because you don't have to look at your face! Whether only one girl receives the goods depends on whether she appreciates the beauty of this art. Silhouette shooting is not difficult, but we
When the setting sun is needed as the background, landscape photography can also be used. The aperture is prior to the aperture value of f/8 or f/ 1 1, and whether to reduce the EV value depends on the actual effect. Use spot metering mode directly
When measuring the sky, the silhouette effect will appear immediately. I also recommend using VI multi-color mode to enhance color saturation and make the atmosphere richer.
If the pure silhouette makes the model feel bad, try HDR mode. Nowadays, many SLR or mirrorless cameras have built-in HDR mode, the essence of which is to take several photos of Sean in different shades through synthesis.
Method keeps dark details and makes highlights appear. It doesn't matter if the camera doesn't have HDR mode. You can also shake the black card or take two photos with both highlights and dark parts preserved, and then synthesize them later.
I can do it.
Clothing jewelry
I believe everyone knows that clothes make the man. The collocation of clothes can often make a person's temperament change greatly. Moreover, our photographer will tell the model the theme of the shooting the day before the shooting, whether it is joy or sadness. In the bright sunshine, coupled with the fashionable and bright clothes worn by the models, even girls who don't take pictures will give people a good impression.
The collocation of clothing is equally important in photography, and the feelings conveyed by the cold and warm colors of clothing often affect the whole picture. Homology of different colors usually creates a harmonious feeling for the picture. It's best not to let models wear it.
Wear colored warm and cold clothes, otherwise the effect will be worse (unless she loves the feeling of rebellion). I really don't know what to wear. Black and white two main colors, omnipotent.
You also need to know how much effort you need to make in the later stage after the completion of the early shooting kung fu. We should also grasp the authenticity in the later stage of taking photos. Although a girl looks ordinary, you can't turn her round face into an awl face and her chubby figure into a lightning figure. "Ordinary-looking" is a very broad word. I don't say "ugly" directly because everything has two sides. If you can master the beauty of ugliness and try to show it, I believe.
Your shooting skill is really strong.
Just believe in yourself. Not being photogenic doesn't mean you are ugly, but you look very different. If you look at it in three dimensions, you should be perfect. You just need to change the angle, and you can show your perfect self.
