Portrait photography is a very important part of photography, which mainly includes documentary style and artistic photo style. Here are some d90 portrait shooting techniques for everyone, hoping that more photographers can use them.

The purpose of portrait photography is to make people beautiful, so the photographer must shoot when the facial temperament of the person being photographed is the most beautiful, otherwise the photos that are barely taken will be embarrassing. How to decorate the subject is a test for photographers. When to shoot contrast and show the texture of the skin, and when to cover up the defects of the skin with less contrast, we need accumulated observation and thinking experience to make accurate judgments. For example, the general concept of plane light is to make thinner people look fatter. The specific method is to use plane light to reduce the height of the camera. Although this method can make people look fatter, it will expose the nostrils of the characters and destroy the aesthetic feeling. This is the disadvantage of using the traditional combination of lighting and camera position. Saving one can't save two. Therefore, now we usually use posture modeling to improve the image of characters.
