Shooting Technique 1: Large Aperture
The trick to shooting with large apertures is not to be superstitious about large apertures, not to simply consider the size of the aperture, and ignore the length of the exposure time. If there is enough light, you can also shrink the aperture by 1-2 stops appropriately to get better picture quality.
Shooting technique 2: Backlight
First of all, I would like to ask a few questions for the girls. What is backlight shooting? Is it natural light or light? Should you shoot the front or back of the character? Should I take a close-up shot or a panoramic shot? Take the following picture as an example, some issues that girls should pay attention to when shooting in the sun against backlight:
- Pay attention to fill light. Appropriately increase some exposure compensation to let the sun fill the screen.
- Pay attention to choosing the height of the light. Top light is not suitable for taking close-up shots of people.
- Pay attention to choosing a darker background, otherwise you will get a silhouette effect.
- Be careful not to let the lens into the light, wear a hood to avoid damage to the screen.
Shooting technique 3: How to cleverly shoot the back
In fact, by choosing a partial composition, you can discover the most beautiful side of the character. Whether it is multiple exposures or the use of foliage occlusion, it is your magic weapon to win. Being good at discovering the most beautiful moments of characters, you can still make blockbuster movies without “showing your face”.
Shooting technique 4: large spot
Shooting with a large aperture is generally divided into two types: the light spot of the night scene light and the light spot in the woods. When shooting, adjust the camera to at least F3.5-F5.6 and select the Selfie mode. The specific focusing distance is determined on site. The shutter speed is also set according to the on-site situation. In this way, the large light spot formed by the distant light source can be photographed.
Shooting technique 5: Make good use of SLR cameras
SLR also has many advantages that mirrorless cameras do not. Good control is the easiest to master, and learning to use props is also a magic weapon for girls. The antique retro camera is of course a must-have good “thing”, whether it is a rangefinder, a double-reflex or a Polaroid can be a weapon in your hand.
Shooting technique 6: wide angle
Such a lightweight body is also a good choice if you use a wide-angle lens to shoot. The first method that comes to mind must be to take full-length portraits, which is how the long-legged girl came. But it does not necessarily mean that you can only shoot portraits in a panoramic environment. For a simple panoramic view, you can use it to lengthen the shape of the subject’s legs. People on earth love long legs, right? Remember that your toes and knees must not face the camera directly, otherwise the picture will be distorted and ugly. Of course, wide-angle is a good choice for portrait shooting for the purpose of beautifying girls. Set up the camera and walk up from a low angle to shoot upwards.
Shooting technique 7: the subject’s emotions
For SLR cameras that can be extended to ISO 12800, we can handle even darker and darker environments. When talking about portrait photography, creativity, emotions, etc. are often thought of. In the process of shooting girls, people are taken as the subject. According to the scene, they are divided into distant view, panoramic view (from head to toe), seven avatars (above the knees), medium shots (half-length), close shots (on the chest), close-ups ( Avatar). However, it is believed that the characters in the perspective are only embellishments and the center of interest, and the non-subject is not absolute. The key is to blend the character’s emotions with the surrounding environment.
Shooting Tip 8: Creativity
One last thing to remember: If you are too serious, you will lose! Technology belongs to technology, and idea belongs to idea. There is no golden rule for creating with SLR, breaking the rule is the last word. If you want to discover different angles and creativity in your life at all times, you can pick up your camera to shoot at any time, and use your imagination to shoot boldly! Good work, just in an instant.
