Portraits are probably the most extensive subject matter in daily life, whether professional photographers, amateur photographers or people who don't know much about photography like to shoot people with their cameras or mobile phones.

However, photographing people is not easy, especially in complex scenes, accidentally taking "tourist photos" is nothing new.

However, portrait shooting can look much better as long as you avoid these common problems:

1. The picture is not clean, the characters are disturbed, which is easy to appear in many "tourist photos", such as irrelevant elements in the picture interfere with the line of sight, cluttered background affects the performance of characters, and so on.

When shooting, we can arrange the picture according to the standard of "minimalism". Too complex scenes are easy to dominate. Specifically, the shooting background is better to be concise, and a large area of solid colors such as sky and white walls are very suitable for prominent characters.

The second is to avoid the interference of irrelevant elements, such as sundries on the ground, other characters nearby, etc., you can simply clean up before shooting, or find a comfortable shooting angle

The scenery behind the characters needs to be paid special attention. It is best to have a certain degree of distinction from the characters themselves in terms of light, shadow and color. The picture is best kept horizontal and vertical, and the skewed horizontal line is easy to give people the feeling of "chaos".

If it is difficult to ensure a concise picture, you can try to shoot parts of the characters, such as bust, close-ups, etc., different scenes can also make the photos look good.

In short, the picture is simple and clean, which can add a lot of points to the photo, and the portrait will look much fresher.

two。 Characters without "God" too deliberate portraits will appear eyes "godless", expression dull, staring at the camera, deliberately put an expression on the camera is easy to produce this situation.

In fact, when shooting a portrait, the character does not have to stare at or face the camera. Naturally, the character looks to one side, looks far away, or inadvertently sweeps into the camera. Instead, it looks more real and more "mirror-like".

3. The character's posture is not natural, which is similar to staring at the camera deliberately. Paying too much attention to posture will seem unnatural, and the position in which you feel comfortable is the most suitable for you and looks the most natural.

Instead of imitating various postures, it is better to move, take a walk, jog, etc., and then take snapshots. Although more photos need to be taken, the selected photos are definitely more attractive.

4. Color of characters' clothes

The matching and color of the characters' clothes are very easy to ignore but very practical portrait shooting points, and the right clothes can directly make the portrait look much better.

Among them, special attention should be paid to the collocation of the color of the clothes and the color of the scene. If the color of the clothes is the same or similar to that in the scene, then the sense of response between the characters and the environment will be stronger, and the photo as a whole will appear to be very harmonious and concise. Very "advanced"

If the overall color is less, the character clothes can also choose collision color matching, such as yellow and blue, green orange and so on, the character can be better highlighted, the overall visual impact of the photo will be stronger.
