Taking pictures in front of you with a camera usually makes people fat. At this time, you can face the camera at a 45-degree angle, then put your center of gravity on your back foot and put your back arm behind your back. The law is "flexible".

Stick out your chin and look forward.

Portrait photographer Peter Hurley emphasized that the key point of portrait facial photography is the chin. When shooting, the head leans forward and the chin tilts slightly. The lines that highlight the chin will make the outline of the portrait more beautiful.

3. the first rule of the three laws of thinness: don't stand next to thin people, especially when wearing the same clothes.

Second: Don't be the person closest to the camera.

Third, use any props to cover the protruding parts of the body, such as the stomach.

4. Define the waist manually

Sue Bryce, a portrait photographer, suggested: Don't just put your hands on the sides of your waist, hold your waist. Look at the picture and you will understand.

5. Thin people, strengthen the sense of existence. Bill Hurter, the author of the Bibliography of Portrait Photography, said that thin people should face the camera to make themselves look less thin, but it is best to turn their heads slightly to 7/8 and highlight one side of their faces slightly, but make sure that both ears can be photographed.

In addition, light-colored clothing and light-colored background have the best effect. As for clothes, men can wear light-colored clothes but avoid vests, and women can wear loose skirts or shirts.

6. Relax before taking pictures. Don't be nervous when taking pictures, don't resist. Photos will reflect this negative emotion. It is suggested that friends in this mood close their eyes and take a deep breath when the photographer counts down, and then open their eyes and smile when taking pictures, so that they will look relaxed and smile better.

7. Short people

If you don't want to look short, don't stand next to a reference that can reflect your height. You can sit down or avoid taking full-body photos, so the audience generally doesn't pay attention to height. Even if you take a full-length photo, you can ask the photographer to shoot at a low angle and let yourself occupy the whole picture.

Clothing also has an impact. The more legs you show, the longer you look. For example, a short coat can show longer legs than a normal or long coat. In addition, wearing slim clothes usually makes people look taller, such as feet pants. Finally, remember to stand in the front row and be closer to the camera when taking a group photo.

8. Tall

The principle is the same as that of short people. If you don't want to emphasize height, sitting down or taking a full-body photo is one way. If you take a full-length photo, you should take it from the waist level. Unless you really want to highlight your height, stand back and take a group photo.

Of course, if you want to stand out, you can also find a shorter person to set off.

9. Anti-aging with color and action

When people are old, they always want to cover up the wrinkles on their faces, but in fact wrinkles will make your face more personalized. When taking pictures, make the clothes contrast with the background, and avoid too strong light, but take pictures with soft light. When taking pictures, you can take color photos first, then process them into black and white photos, and choose the one with good effect.

In addition, when taking pictures, try to add the elements of "life", which may not be really positive, but shooting is playing the piano, cooking, doing sports and so on. It makes people more energetic. This is even more important when shooting old people. After all, getting old doesn't mean being boring, boring and unchanging; And this skill will make the subjects more confident.

10. Anyway, you must like yourself. Confident people are beautiful no matter how they shoot.
