It is often joked that the three elements of portrait photography are "good-looking model, good-looking model, good-looking model". Although there is a certain degree of truth, even a good-looking model will make people feel tasteless if they can only shoot with a straight face.

Composition is also very important in the process of portrait shooting, and sometimes it can even become the finishing touch of a portrait photo.

And this is also a headache for many people. I probably have a concept in my head, but I don't know how to apply it when I shoot. Today, I'd like to introduce some practical techniques for portrait composition.

1. When taking full-body portrait photos, we generally hope that the characters will be taller and slimmer, and many people will choose to shoot from a lower angle, such as squatting down and taking full-body photos from the bottom to the top, which will have a certain elongation effect, but it will also make the whole character appear uncoordinated and unnatural. If it is centered on the composition and the characters fill the picture, the effect will be very general.

When shooting a portrait, we'd better make the picture have a certain "sense of breathing", leaving a certain amount of white space on the upper and lower parts of the character, so that the space above the character can be larger and the lower one can be smaller, so that it looks both "stable" and suitable for shaping the proportion of tall characters.

In this ratio, we just have to put the camera or mobile phone in front of our chest and raise it a little bit to get a good effect.

In addition, we can try to put the characters on the three-point line of the picture so that they don't look too rigid.

The face of the character turns to one side, which is not only natural, but also can get a good side face effect.

two。 When taking bust photos, we can also learn from the proportion of taking full-body photos, so that the characters are close to the lower left or lower right corner of the picture, preferably not from the knee, nor directly from the height of the buttocks. Intercept the picture from the middle of the thigh above the knee, so that the portrait ratio is better.

A bust photo taken from the thigh can make the character look slimmer.

Too high and too low shooting angles may make the characters out of proportion, if not in pursuit of special effects, you can also shoot in front of the chest.

3. Sitting posture-squatting posture if you need to take lower positions such as sitting posture and squatting, you should pay more attention to the composition, otherwise it may make the photo look indecent.

When shooting, we can choose the same height as the model, such as squatting, so as to avoid the strange effect of strong upside-down and overlooking angle of view.

When shooting this low-angle portrait, you can stretch the model's posture, choose the lateral angle, and construct a diagonal composition in the picture, which can not only make the proportion of the characters comfortable, but also make the picture feel better.

In addition to sitting and squatting, the low posture of the character can be used to lengthen the proportion of the character, except for sitting and squatting, the diagonal composition can be used to lengthen the proportion of the character.

Diagonal composition is very useful in portrait shooting, which can not only make the character appear slender, but also show the posture of movement. This article comes from the official Wechat account: play some Photography (ID:wakexiao). Author: AGER
