When shooting portraits, in order to highlight the beauty of the characters, sometimes we try to avoid complex backgrounds and choose simple, solid-color elements as backgrounds.

But sometimes such concise portraits don't look particularly attractive, because not all subjects can accurately control their looks and movements like professional models, which makes our concise portraits look a bit like serious "ID photos."

Today, let's bring you some tips for shooting simple portraits, so that you can take interesting and good-looking portraits in a simple environment:

1. Composition A lot of portrait photos look like "ID photos", in part because of the composition: in front of a simple solid color background, the subject is in the center of the picture and looks like an ID photo.

Friends who have this habit of shooting may be in order to pursue a sense of balance between left and right symmetry and highlight the subject, but we also need to be aware that this will make our photos look too serious, rigid and lack a little "aura".

When shooting concise portraits, we can try to put the characters near the three-point line, so that they will not obviously upset the sense of balance, but also highlight the sense of existence of the characters, and they do not look so serious and rigid.

The tripartite composition is also very suitable for matching with various movements and postures of the subject, such as a side photo, which will look strange if it is placed in the middle of the picture, but if it is placed on one side, facing a large area left blank, it will be very consistent with our visual logic.

If we want to shoot close-ups, the three-part composition method is also applicable, we can put the eyes, hands and other areas that we want to focus on the intersection of the "zigzag lattice" (these intersections are also points of visual interest), which also looks very comfortable.

Tripartite composition can be regarded as a basic composition method, although it is not necessarily the best choice, but it is not error-prone and classic, we can use it flexibly with other composition methods.

two。 When using the foreground to shoot a simple style portrait, if we find that the content of the picture is not full and empty, we can use the foreground that fits with the shooting environment to enrich the content of the picture.

The prospect of being in line with the shooting environment will not appear abrupt, nor will it weaken the main body's sense of existence. for example, if we want to take a group of portraits in an empty park, we can make proper use of the plants in the park. the leaves of the plants act as foreground to enhance the sense of hierarchy and enrich the content of the picture.

3. Looking for echoes in the photos makes it easier to attract attention and make the photos interesting.

When shooting, we can look for echoes in terms of color, cultural elements, and so on:

If the dress color of the subject is similar to that of an object in the environment, we can use this color to establish an echo. Similar colors will enhance the sense of simplicity and create a sense of interaction, making the photo look interesting.

If there are some cultural elements in the picture that can interact with the characters, such as guides on the ground, text tips, etc., we can also incorporate them into the picture together with the characters.
