Things to note for mobile phone portrait photographyThe following are some things to note when taking phone portraits:
1. ** Postures **
- To avoid posing pretentiously, you can let your hands have movements to distract your attention to appear natural, such as raising your hand to hold your hat or the treetops.
- If you want to shoot with long legs, girls can choose a low-angle shooting position and extend their legs in front of the camera or in the corner of the photo.
- If you want to shoot a beautiful curve, you shouldn't squat down to avoid squeezing the flesh together. You can lean your body to the side and put your arms on your knees.
- The dynamic pose should be natural and avoid being too deliberate. It can let the character walk, turn around, and so on.
2. ** In terms of light and shadow **
- When shooting, the face should face the light source, but be careful to avoid messy shadows on the face, because the viewer usually pays attention to the face first, and the messy face will make the photo feel unnatural.
3. ** Guidance **
- The photographer had to be good at guiding the subject, such as guiding them to recall things to show a spirited expression, or gently asking the subject to look back and make a small joke to make them smile.
4. ** In terms of background **
- The background was an important part of the photo. You could choose beautiful scenes such as flowers, seashore, and woods as the background. Try to make the background color no more than three to make the photo more shocking and neat.
- If there is a gap light in the background, you can use a large aperture lens to focus on the character, so that the gap light in the background forms a light spot.
- Using frame composition, such as doors, windows, branches, and other elements as a frame to place the character in it, could make the photo more layered and three-dimensional.
- When using snow as the background, you can choose a tree or branch that is further away as the background to make the picture cleaner and highlight the character.
- Choosing a vast land or a simple background could set off the characters and make the photos more elegant and charming.
5. ** In terms of shooting skills **
- The camera was a little further away from the character. Take two steps back and then use 2x zooming to shoot, placing the character in the middle and lower two squares. You can capture the picture of the character walking forward or looking up from the side to achieve the effect of combining the artistic conception of the person and the scene. When using the portrait mode to shoot three times, you can lower the phone to shoot the entire snow mountain background and focus on the background to make the photo more story-like.
- If you want to shoot a slim effect, you can use an upside-down shot. Put your phone or camera down and shoot upwards. At the same time, pay attention to choosing the right angle and light to avoid reflection and shadows.
- According to the shooting location, the scene (long shot, panoramic shot, medium shot, close-up shot, close-up shot) was determined first. Different scenes with different focal lengths and depths of field would reflect the different atmosphere of the photo.
- The shooting angles (front, side, back, low angle, high angle) were changed.
- You can use the elements in the shooting scene (such as leaves, flowers, etc.) as props to interact. When there are no props, you can use environmental elements to interact.
- The shooting posture is divided into static (standing, sitting, squatting, lying down) and dynamic (walking, running, jumping, spinning). When shooting in motion, it is best to adjust the camera to continuous shooting mode. At the same time, you should consider the direction of the eyes (looking at the sky, looking at the ground, looking at the air, looking at yourself, closing your eyes, etc.) and emotional state (smiling, laughing, intoxicated, deep, depressed, sad, etc.). You can also add hand movements (lifting hair, touching face, pinching ears, putting hands in pockets or waist).
6. ** In terms of lighting **
- Light was a key factor in photography, and natural light was a better choice. For indoor shooting, there was more light near the window, and at the same time, the shooting angle was adjusted to avoid shadows and reflections. For outdoor shooting, you could choose to shoot in the afternoon when the light was soft and the colors were warm.
7. ** Character and background relationships **
- When shooting in the snow, you can choose bright-colored clothes or accessories to contrast with the snow scene to highlight the character's form and expression.
