Yinxing Shu Portrait Photographer

Answer 1

The main points of portrait photography of ginkgo trees were as follows:

** 1. Shooting Time **
It was suggested that the filming should be done at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Although photographers usually thought that the light around sunrise and sunset was soft and suitable for taking photos, in the ginkgo forest, the leaves would block the sun. Before and after sunrise or sunset, the sun was low from the ground. After being blocked by the leaves, there might not be enough light, which would cause the color of the ginkgo leaves to be poor, the photos to be dim, the face to be black and yellow, and other problems. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the light was bright, which could make the skin fair and shiny.

** 2. Shooting Light **
1. ** For newbies **
- He had to avoid having shadows on his face because there were many shades in the forest, and the shadows on his face would affect his appearance.
2. ** For those with experience **
- Backlight or side-light was better. The light at three or four o'clock in the afternoon was not strong. When the warm sunlight shone from the side or the back of the character, there would be shadows on the other side of the character, which would give a three-dimensional effect. The silhouette and hair of the character would be shiny, and the lighting effect would be high-level.

** 3. Shooting posture **
One could use the environment of the ginkgo forest to pose, such as leaning against the tree trunk to take pictures, or picking up the ginkgo leaves on the ground to touch and look at them. One could also take pictures of the ginkgo leaves to create a dynamic effect of the falling leaves.

** 4. Composing Techniques **
You can use the rule of thirds, triangle, diagonal, and other composition methods.

** 5. Dealing with the background **
1. ** Selection of background **
- Try to add more gold (the color of ginkgo leaves) to keep the background simple and clean to avoid other tourists or debris that would affect the image.
2. ** Fake background **
- If you took a photo with a camera, you could use a large aperture or a long focal length. If you took a photo with a mobile phone, you could turn on the large aperture mode or portrait mode to blur the background so that the debris in the background was not obvious. If there were more tourists in the photo environment, the photo distance could be shortened and the full-body portrait could be changed to a half-body portrait to reduce the possibility of capturing others.
3. ** Color contrast **
- To enhance the visual impact, the model can prepare colorful clothes, such as red or blue. With the golden ginkgo forest as the background, people wearing this color would be very eye-catching.

** 6. Use of Foreground **
There were a lot of ginkgo leaves in the ginkgo forest, so they could be used as the background of the photo. For example, if the fallen leaves on the ground were not covered with the ground, the background could be used to render and block the surroundings of the character. If the camera was used in the large aperture mode or portrait mode of the mobile phone, the focus could be placed on the face of the character, and the effect of blurring the background and the background could be achieved.

** 7. Color mixing ideas (if color mixing later)**
For example, he could use the filter: Autumn, hue-3, color temperature +5, highlight-3, shadow +5, contrast +8, saturation +5, HQL orange: saturation-5, etc.
