Q: Did you inform Cai in advance, and what kind of effect do you hope to achieve in this shooting?
Fish life: Because of Miss Caiyou's two-year modeling experience, she has great advantages in both expression and expression. I think there should be something unsatisfied in her world, so I told her that this time I want to take a very simple photo of Miss Caiyoumei, who is 19 years old, traveling to Okinawa, not in a fashionable way. But it rained this time (laughs).
Later, I decided to take photos in the hotel where I stayed, wearing a pink sweater and upper body. When I went to the hotel to meet her in the morning, Miss Caiyou came out like this, and then we took some photos casually in the corridor of the hotel. These photos use light from above. If the light below my face is brighter, it will take away my eyes, but if the light is close to my face, the eyes of the audience will stay on my face. However, if it is expressed by fashionable clothes or shapes, if the face is too bright, the eyes of the viewer will pay attention to people's faces instead of paying too much attention to people's clothes, so this is not a good practice.
Q: What light is this?
Fish live: this is the light outside the window, and the model has his back to the window. Shoot by hand, without reflector, and adjust the shadow according to the direction of the model's face. The lens is 50mm f 1.8, the aperture is set to f2.8, and the camera is 1DS MARK II.

Back to the winding corridor can increase the three-dimensional sense, swing to the right relative to the head, and in the blank on the left, the place where the light shines slightly is impressive. You can use this technique when shooting in the corridor.

The shooting location is in the hotel corridor, with windows in the back and models facing the wall. 1DS MARK II still has high imaging quality under the light with strong contrast between light and dark. This is a common skill to change the picture when shooting in a narrow space.
The hotel room is shot by the window, aiming to take a soft picture with natural light. The side will cause the shadow of the body and produce a three-dimensional effect. Shirts hanging on chairs, sports shoes, jewelry on the table, and models putting their feet on the table show a very casual feeling. Such a distance and position, by hand, with lace curtains as soft masks, take a soft picture.

Question: This photo of the sofa by the window shows that it is raining outside. Why did you choose this position to shoot?
Fish live: Because you are wearing a bathing suit, if you shoot with oblique light, you can perfectly present the delicate curve produced by the shadow of a woman's body. Then we thought of adding pink flowers, because if we add flowers to the camera, we don't want to add bright colors, so we asked the model to wear a flowing green swimsuit and then wrap it in a waist cloth. The key point of shooting is to make the feeling of placing the slept shirts at will. Instead of shooting barefoot, it is better to put on sports shoes to show playfulness and cuteness. Sports shoes are black, so they look strong. So even tables or trinkets won't make people feel uncoordinated. The ruins are full of themes needed to take good photos.
Then we took a bus and told us to cross Okinawa and go north to a small town called Golden House. This is a bustling town where American troops were stationed during the Vietnam War. It is full of the feeling of the Showa era, and it is the only place left on Okinawa after the Showa thirties and forties. There is no blue sky here, and the shop with western tiles on the wall is the first shop in the world to provide Mexican-style meals. We let the model squat under the counter, and when there is no shadow in the sun, we will use this kind of hand hair. However, we used this method to shelter from the rain on this day.

This is at the counter of a Mexican restaurant. Let the model hide in a narrow space to create a sense of constraint, and it is precisely because of the unnatural posture that the lovely side of the girl is set off. Do you feel your heartbeat, too? This photo is the effect of RAW directly converted into jpeg.
The photo is a black dress with a mini skirt.
Yu Zhu: I want to shoot in white boots, but she said herself, if I wear boots, how can I match this black skirt? When the photos were developed, she said happily, I made my own style. ? It was raining at that time, and the flash was used when shooting. Compared with the upper position, the flash is directly used, and the color of the background is actually very light to the naked eye. In order to show the existence of tropical places, the flash was turned on specially, trying to make the colors more prominent, and it was easy to improve the saturation of some colors with a little modification in photoshop later.
We want to reduce the shadow under the chin. In the dark, if the eyes are all black, it will be scary, so we give priority to the eyes.
P 1f lens: ef 16-35mm f2.8 shutter speed:1125 aperture: F8ISO: 200 white balance: flash RAW (the flash uses SPEEDLITE 430EX, which is manually set to 1/4 output value.
Shooting in the ruins of towns, this expression is not limited to the use of drawing the picture closer, that is, aligning the horizontal lines, the horizon and other vertical lines, and not bending them, because the half-tone twisted lines will make the picture annoying. We make a combination of black paint painting and black clothes above the model to form a complete picture.
P 1g lens: ef16-35mm F2.8.
Let's take a look at this photo. I don't have the confidence to shoot a beautiful portrait at the focal length of 16mm, so I only used about 24mm, and 20 mm is fine. Although it's not perfect, this lens is still very suitable under the current situation, as long as I put my face in the middle, but the picture I can shoot may not be so good. Longteng 24-75mm f2.8 lens is the most commonly used lens in this shooting journey. It is no problem to shoot such a picture with this lens.

Turn it into a slightly different picture. When using a super wide-angle lens, try to put your face in the middle of the picture, so it is not easy to turn your face into a distorted shape. Slight deformation of hands and feet makes perspective interesting. Under the condition that the face must not be deformed, it is a common composition method for wide-angle lenses.
We set up a flash in front of an antique furniture store, held the door still, and then filmed. The optical axis of the flash is about 35 degrees from the side of the face.

Considering how to match the horizontal line and then cut it, the edge of the beach looks a little inclined. Because the wide-angle end is used for shooting, you can take a three-dimensional picture at the top of your head near the model. It can also be said that it is a so-called panoramic photo, which is often used in fashion photography.
