Today, when new media is rampant, the traditional self-portrait strategy among online celebrities is nothing more than makeup and beautiful pictures. Many girls' selfies in popular travel notes on free travel websites use the early support of SLR equipment and the retouching and color matching of photoshop+LR in the later period, and use high-quality landscape photos and carefully decorated portrait selfie photography to make even a person's journey shine.
So, can we really only rely on powerful photographic equipment and superb retouching technology to make selfies attract attention?
The answer is always known, no!
The answer given by many people is: Yan value.
The author's answer is: the finishing touch skill.
If the technique is exposed, everyone will be familiar with it, but if we can master it thoroughly and skillfully, even if the buck teeth acne grows into a pig's head, it will make the selfie in Weibo stunned all beings.
The following quotes the daily selfie of the famous singer Hebe Tien for skill interpretation. In fact, Miss Tian's face value is not low, and the selfie technique has been repeatedly vomited by fans. But if we delve into the exclusive finishing touch in her selfie photos, it's all ink and wash.
The author deliberately dug up dozens of representative photos in the Weibo album of Onion for analysis and comment.
Please follow the author,
While appreciating Hebe Tien,
Raiders selfie,
Put down the face value,
Rest assured to take pictures!
First of all,
Take the latest familiar selfie as the first introduction example:
Please speak up. What was your first reaction when you saw this selfie?
The first reaction of most passers-by is beauty!
The first reaction of almost the whole rice circle: the explosion of beauty!
Below, let's analyze the reasons why this selfie looks good.
When most people see this selfie,
What's the first thing you notice?
It's blinking.
Then it extends to the whole face and then to other details.
So a beautiful face was formed in the visual nerve center of the brain.
Eyes are the most expressive part of human five senses, and also the most expressive part of beauty, which plays an important role in all high-quality selfies. If there are a pair of moving eyes in a photo, even if the face is not enough, the emotions conveyed by the eyes can make the whole look a lot better. What's more, Miss Tian used unique cheats in the above selfie, which made the viewer notice her eyes at first sight, and let her watery right eye implant the feeling of smart beauty first.
This photo uses the door-opening knowledge in the field of selfie-the first visual impact.
Key point: composition
The purpose of this technique is obviously easy to understand, giving the viewer appropriate visual guidance and making him feel beautiful at the first sight of the selfie.
How to achieve visual guidance, so as to achieve visual impact?
Actually, selfie expert Fu Tian? Zhen told us with the latest selfie.
Let's analyze the composition together first.
Miss Tian's ordinary selfie actually covers the advanced principle of photographic composition.
The lines seem to be complicated, and they are analyzed by the author from the shallow to the deep.
First of all, we can see that the whole photo is divided into "nine squares" by four white dotted lines, and the intersection of the dotted lines is marked with red dots, which are called "golden section points". Usually photographers will put the objects they want to express on these four points of the picture, so that they can have a unique aesthetic feeling.
In this photo, the photographer Miss Tian skillfully placed her face in the golden point of photography in the upper right corner, giving the main object of selfie-face an untouchable picture beauty.
Of course, the essence of the most ingenious composition does not stop there.
The snail shell curve in the schematic diagram of composition analysis is a classic "golden line" in photography. In the history of photography, many masters have applied this composition principle, which can not only express aesthetic feeling, but also make visual index. Many photographers tried to imitate this technique, but Hebe Tien was able to use it perfectly.
The curve around the "snail shell" is a "visual guide line", and this hidden curve can guide the viewer's line of sight to the center of the potential "snail shell", that is, the part of his eyes that he wants to express most.
Moreover, this curve on the original picture seems invisible, but it is actually traceable. Let's take a closer look at the potential peripheral guide line of the original picture of Miss Tian's latest selfie, and we can find that in the post-processing of the selfie, the area outside the peripheral guide line is subtly shaded, so that the transition position between the dark part and the bright part of the whole picture is the potential peripheral guide curve.
In this way, combining the location of the golden section and the visual guidance of the golden section, the viewer can feel the beauty of the fairy at the first sight of this selfie.
Beauty is innate, and it is wonderful and wonderful by expression, but it doesn't hurt to say it.
It can be said that Hebe Tien, a selfie artist, has no less photographic composition ability than any photographer.
Enjoy a few more of her works.
The pink makeup in the above picture highlights the girlish feeling. The Christmas tree behind the bright eyes in the following picture blends with the main body of the person wearing the scarf, forming a unique warmth in winter.
The above four-grid self-portrait combination photo combines rich color impact and exquisite composition principle, giving viewers a fantastic visual experience.
Summary of Skills: Hebe Tien taught us that in close-up selfies, putting the face in a golden position, adding hidden visual guide lines and paying attention to the emotional expression of the eyes can produce a unique visual impact at first sight.
Let's continue with the case analysis. We are familiar with how to encroach on the audience's first visual impact. Let's make a more in-depth technical analysis.
Key point: props
Many times, on the basis of the first visual impact, we can use props to polish and sublimate the selfie. If used properly, it can not only bring the visual beauty of the first reaction to the viewer, but also convey a brand-new experience of other senses.
The picture below is a good example of the transition from one skill to two skills.
In this selfie, we can find traces of technology 1 application. The shadow of the outer area of the golden section peripheral guide line is just right, highlighting the strawberry milk on the face and below (I can't remember clearly, it contains fruit anyway).
In addition, under the visual impact of forming the first beauty, most viewers can also have another kind of sensory enjoyment-
Delicious strawberry milk.
It seems that you can smell the fragrance of fruit mixed with milk, and even saliva is produced in your mouth. At this time, photographer Hebe Tien not only stimulated the visual nerve center in the viewer's brain, but also stimulated the taste and smell nerve centers.
Such a simple self-portrait of Zhang Guo's milk has produced a comprehensive enjoyment of multiple senses, and at the same time, it is a little playful and flexible.
This selfie is more than just a visible photo.
Hebe Tien used this technique in many works.
For example, the picture below is taken with hairy crabs, and the crab yellow taste is very strong.
For example, eating ice in winter in the picture below, the sweetness and chilling feeling conveyed by ice cream.
The sunglasses in the picture below add extra flavor to picking up girls.
Sometimes it can also bring a sense of interaction with the viewer in the photo.
The gesture in the picture below leads the audience's eyes to the food well. Sunshine smile, who can resist the temptation of beauty and food?
Summary of Skills: Hebe Tien taught us that using food as a self-portrait prop in short and medium distance can stimulate the enjoyment of multiple senses, and appropriate color matching can be used in later retouching to enhance the color impact of food.
Props are used for more than just food.
Items that are readily available in life can also be incorporated into selfies.
Key point: props again
Self-portrait expert Hebe Tien is not only a fruit expert, but also a vegetable expert. All organic healthy foods in the vegetable field can be used as his selfie companion.
For example, the picture below is a classic cauliflower photo.
Some people think it is funny to take selfies with cauliflower, but it actually has a profound psychological meaning-comparative psychology.
Comparing this technology is well known, but if you want to use it skillfully, it belongs to learning.
In the front selfie above, the cauliflower is just next to the face, and the size and face area of the thin cauliflower are better. In this way, the reason is easy to understand, which potentially reduces the size of the face and has a face-lifting effect on the viewer's psychology.
Hebe Tien's face is not big. Taking a photo with cauliflower highlights his delicate and delicate face, and the bright yellow of cauliflower also adds a sense of activity to the tone of the selfie, killing two birds with one stone.
The above picture combines the application of skill one, and the smart eyes are flashing behind the cauliflower.
Besides cauliflower, you can also use other items in your life.
If you like drinking coffee, you can take a selfie with a mug like Hebe Tien to achieve a potential psychological contrast.
In the above picture, the bright white of the mug contrasts sharply with the crimson menstrual nails on the mug wall, which sets off the delicate face of the melon seeds.
Below, pretending to drink coffee with a mug, the background is natural green, creating a cool intellectual beauty.
Sitting with cups and plates, adding a touch-up filter to the original picture, is very comfortable.
Stickers can also be the finishing touch in selfies, lively and humorous, and the potential contrast of Starbucks thermos cups can narrow the width of the face psychologically.
Skill two and skill three can be used in combination.
For example, in the picture below, a large plate of hairy crabs brings multiple sensory impacts of color and fragrance, and the area of the plate sets off a small and flawless face, which is wonderful.
Do you smell the aroma of coffee and the tempting meat in the picture below?
Of course, contrast technology sometimes brings side effects.
Look at the picture below.
Chinese cabbage (the author is a vegetable discrimination idiot) and happy expression, a very harmonious publicity photo of healthy life.
The face is set off just right, but if you look closely, you can't help but find that the diameter of the cabbage is almost as long as the leg.
Hebe Tien's legs are as long as cabbage leaves?
The main reason for this negative effect is the camera angle.
Let's look at another photo.
The bottom-up shooting angle is adopted in the above picture, which can greatly stretch the long legs and form the illusion effect of height 1.7 meters.
Then, how to remedy the cabbage care that promotes healthy life?
It's very simple, just remove one of the contrast substances that produce side effects.
Cut off half, keep happy smiles and Chinese cabbage, and let's vigorously advocate a green and healthy life together.
Summary of skills: Hebe Tien taught us that proper props can be used as potential references to set off the face and create an atmosphere in the distance selfie, and can be combined with skills 1 2.
In addition to a small range of props, you can also use a large range of overall comparison.
What is a large scale?
Background is the key.
Key point: framework
Choosing a colorful background as a self-portrait foil can not only moisturize the skin color, but also enrich the color aesthetic feeling of the picture, which belongs to the color collocation in photography aesthetics.
The secret of Hebe Tien's framing is to blend into the sea of flowers.
The selfie above combines skill three and skill four. The size of the flowers sets off the compactness of the face well, and the beautiful purple also adds charm to the picture.
The picture below is full of laughter and laughter in the sea of flowers, and it is lively and infinite.
In the picture below, the mystery of sunglasses and soft yellow flowers complement each other.
The indifferent facial paralysis face can also look much gentler because of the pink and white flower sea background.
The scenery in the portrait photo below is in harmony with the small fresh clothes, and the colors are properly matched. The characters live in one third of the picture, creating a gentle beauty of the forest.
The following picture shows the flexible application of skill 3 in skill 4, with exquisite composition. The figure is in the lower left corner of the four golden points, comfortably lifting the mug and sipping slightly. The winding path in the distance is as clear as the main body of the character, and a deep depth of field is used. The pink flowers in the upper part of the picture are dotted with vivid beauty. With a slightly upward shooting angle, you can post it to social networks later without adding a filter.
Another example of skill integration is the following one. In composition, the figure is located in one third of the picture, and the face is located in the upper left corner of the four golden points. The white flowers worn on the hair tips show the feelings of the forest family and the inner girl well. Moreover, the scenery in the right half of the picture extends from near water to far people, and the main body of the character is clear and the background is blurred, which makes good use of the shallow depth of field, highlights the charm of the main body of the character and creates a hazy sense of ink painting.
Shallow depth of field and deep depth of field have been mentioned before. If we can make good use of the knowledge of depth of field in photography, we can take original photos.
What is depth of field?
Based on the description of the first two selfies, two typical photos are cited for explanation.
Simply put, the depth of field is the range of good focus.
It can decide whether to blur the background to highlight the subject or shoot a clear background.
In the above self-portrait, Hebe Tien makes the main body of the character as clear as the roads, vehicles and street trees behind him, mainly showing the fusion of the characters and the background; The background in the picture below is blurred, and the focus is on the face and mug of the character when shooting, which mainly shows the happy state of the character.
How to decide whether a shot needs shallow depth of field or deep depth of field,
It depends on what the photographer really wants to present to the viewer.
Hebe Tien, a self-timer expert, has mastered and operated this photography skill flexibly.
Summary of Skills: Hebe Tien taught us that when taking a selfie, you can choose a colorful background and decorate the picture with rich colors to enhance the visual impact. In addition, we can also use the depth of field to adjust whether the subject of the character blends into the background.
After mastering the techniques 1 (visual encroachment at first sight), 2 (multiple sensory stimulation), 3 (potential contrast reference) and 4 (rich color embellishment), the following reveals the main technique 5, which belongs to the depth technique in photography.
Key point: light
Whether it is self-portrait or daily shooting, the core issue of light and shadow is always within the scope of thinking. If we can make good use of it, we can make fantastic photographs. On the other hand, if you don't master it properly, you will also solve the car accident.
If you want to look high-end and upscale in the selfie, this technique is a good secret, regardless of value.
The following are Hebe Tien's very positive and excellent works.
Composition, the picture is obviously divided into three parts, "light and dark" alternately, looking up at the sky on the grounds of shooting angle. The bright blue sky in the middle of the picture is the only color embellishment, while the branches and leaves in the upper half and the characters in the lower half only show a rough outline, which constitutes the aesthetic feeling of "silhouette". The secret of Hebe Tien's excellent selfie works lies in the unique light processing method-backlight.
Usually, if the backlight is not handled properly, the characters will be partially underexposed, such as the following negative example taken by others.
The distant sea surface and the background of the building are bright and clear, but the people who really need to show jumping nearby are gloomy, just like a still sculpture, losing all the fresh elements, and a strange feeling comes to me. This is because when shooting, the position of Hebe Tien is between the light source and the photographer, which always leads to the underexposure of the subject and the shooting failure.
In general, we should try to avoid shooting in the back light, but if we can handle it properly like the positive examples shown above, we can also produce artistic special effects.
Photographer Hebe Tien can not only use backlight correctly, but also has a keen sense of light and shadow.
The selfie in the above picture, skill 1 and skill 5 are well combined, so that the light is concentrated on one half of the face, and the other half of the face is integrated with the background in the shadow. The eyes in the dark are sparkling and the eyes in the light are watery, which complement each other as a whole and create a unique beauty of light and shadow.
In the following selfie, the light comes from the right side of the picture, making the hair tips glow slightly, and the face looks very three-dimensional because of the right direction of the light. In addition, the bangs on the forehead are a little messy, and the looming collarbone between the necks shows Hebe Tien's sexy side well.
Using the light leakage during shooting to create a fresh and natural atmosphere is also one of the selfie cheats.
In the picture below, the hazy beauty is that Hebe Tien blocked part of the light with the curtain, making the knowing smile behind the curtain look like a dream and hit the viewer's heart directly.
Occasionally, there are selfie works that can't understand light processing.
In a word, if we can properly handle light and brightness, we can add beauty to beauty.
For example, in the picture below, in terms of composition, fireworks account for one-third of the top and people account for two-thirds of the bottom. The main highlights focus on fireworks and people's faces, while the rest are dim. Coupled with people's expressions and the interaction between the audience, it expresses the joy of New Year's Eve.
In the selfie with friends and sisters, you can also use light to create beauty. In the picture below, the idea of composition is that Hebe Tien himself occupies the left half of the picture and two people occupy the right half of the picture. The background is in the shadow, and the highlights are concentrated in the main body of the character. At the same time, the direction of light makes Hebe Tien's face more stereoscopic, and the highlights in the wet place produce a sense of holy light, which is warm and sacred in contrast with the darkness in the background.
Summary of Skills: Hebe Tien taught us that in self-portrait photography, we can achieve a unique and creative aesthetic feeling through proper treatment of light and shadow, so that the five senses of characters can be more stereoscopic and full, and ordinary self-portraits can also be tall.
After revealing the above five main self-timer skills,
Hebe Tien still has some unique secrets to uncover.
In this section, the author will analyze and comment on the above five self-timer skills.
Let's continue to learn Hebe Tien's selfie cheats.
If you feel that the picture is not vivid enough and want to add some lovely and fresh elements, adding stickers to the selfie is a good post-processing cheat.
Many post-processing apps have a lot of words, which are funny and humorous.
You can also decorate yourself with stickers, which is full of stupidity.
While decorating with stickers, use self-timer skill one to enhance the visual impact at first sight.
You can also use selfie technique 3 to form a potential contrast reference with stickers and set off your face at the same time.
If you want to express beauty or humor, the choice of stickers should be appropriate.
Pay attention to the location of the post.
I like this one very much.
Starbucks mug+enigmatic face = strong spiritual shock.
Self-timer can not only take a face, but also take photos of body parts combined with pictures from the first-person perspective.
For example, Hebe Tien likes to pat himself on the foot.
Put a book on your lap and take pictures of reading from your own perspective.
You can also take photos of your body parts with the fresh elements in the picture.
For example, in the picture below,
Feet and elephants.
That's so sweet.
Maybe everyone who pats their feet likes to jump.
Jumping can make the picture feel active.
Magnificent and beautiful backgrounds can often add charm to the dynamic characters.
The following picture, which is already very beautiful, will be a good photographic masterpiece if it is colored later.
But be careful, jumping to the top is also risky.
Self-timer Hebe Tien is also a male god in the eyes of thousands of girls.
Pick up hot chicks's selfie cheats are very simple.

In addition to taking pictures of yourself, you can also take pictures of others or pets.
In the picture below, in the photo with Tian Beng, the protagonist is in the upper left corner. The audience's first visual experience is not only the innocent eyes of dogs, but also the maternal eyes of Hebe Tien. At the same time, the dog face also takes care of the character's face, showing a special warmth.
The author finds that Hebe Tien likes using Technique One very much.
