Tutorial: the key to the success of People Photography

2, figures which of several photographers shooting mode?

character of photography means nothing more than put shoot, snap and swing combination of three kinds of grasping.Have their own characteristics and requirements, but also interrelated and complement each other, respectively, constitute the essential character photography modeling approach.

1, shot put

that the entire photographic process, always be proactive so that the object is fully aware of someone taking pictures for themselves, so that the photographer may havethan the full time, ready to shoot the object to be manipulated as well as being proactive after the completion of filming.Therefore, this method is also known as the mercy of shooting, or you can call the main shooting omniscient manner, portrait photos, group photos, commemorative photo, photos, etc. used in advertising.However, in the mercy of circumstances, the photographer should be multi-party efforts to ensure that those who have been proactive thinking to relax, to coincide with the shooting.

2, snap

that the photographer the process, never let the object know someone who has been proactive in their own pictures taken up by the photographer directlyuptake activities in the typical characters and vivid moments.Therefore, you can also call the main unknown shooting.Such an approach shot, and perhaps composition, light unsatisfactory, not being photographic activities of the object is in the unrestrained state of behavior are a more natural look.Need to be proactive, but rich life experiences and keen eyesight, a variety of characters in the fleeting events and be good at being proactive grab the object of the most typical, the most perfect, most engaging and moment in time pressing the shutter.

3, placed grasp with

that the entire photographic process, although the object to be proactive knew that someone was taking pictures for themselves, but does not tell the exact time of filming, so that wasphoto object of attention is still focused on doing things, and the photographer to have some time to choose the best angle and light, and to a lesser extent, through the adjustment and manipulation, pressed the shutter at the appropriate time.This shooting mode, either a swing beat and capture the strengths of both, so that there is grasping swinging pendulum has crawled.Thus, also known as rising uncertainly scratched, you can also call the main semi-known shooting.

3, the characters photographic equipment options

Although the camera can be used for people in general photography, but different models and structures, performance and features vary.People Photography How better to purchase the camera, usually available from the photographic uses, personal preferences and economic conditions in three areas to consider.

1, Photography-use

This refers to the use of the camera.Beginners, if only the family photo shoot, personal photographs and large bust of the body such as photos, choose a high-end compact digital cameras or entry-SLR can cope easily; these cameras generally equipped with zoom lens, can be manually controlled exposure,Portrait shoot both close-up, but also environmental portrait photography.Or you can buy an ordinary small-scale digital, it is small size, simple structure, but with flash devices is not only easy to use, pick-up can take pictures, they do not need to separately purchase of flash.If the camera is proposed for the character theme of artistic creation, we should consider buying a little better digital SLR cameras; these cameras can generally switch to a different focal length lens, a relatively high degree of automation that can be used to shoot the body, half-length, and head-specific, etc.pictures of people of various genres.

2, hobbies

If there is a clear photography hobbies, love to shoot portraits in general work rather than "sweep the streets," then a slightly better1:00 a digital SLR would be a better choice, not only the image effect is better than a small digital camera, due to full-featured to deal with a variety of shooting needs, can be easily controlled.

3, economic conditions

market, digital camera models are more different functions, different structures, although the basic performance broadly similar, but they areprice difference between the disparity.Buy the camera, to take into account its price tailored to the person's economic conditions.Under normal circumstances, buy an upper mid-range camera, will be applicable to all kinds of people photography.Must be recognized that the camera-grade level and quality pictures of people not necessarily linked.The use of high-end cameras, and can not guarantee that each piece of photo quality is good; the use of ordinary cameras can also shoot high-quality pictures of people.Important question is to be familiar with the structure of the camera performance and a master operating techniques.

4, the characters should choose what kind of lens photography?

a variety of camera lenses, although the figures can be used for photography, but strictly speaking, the characters should have the following lens photography some selective:

People photographic lens imaging quality, it is necessary, as a clear statement, but also have some soft effect.Because the performance of face and figure photography generally the main camera image quality should be able to achieve the level of rich, textured true, the details of absolutely shattered, skin moisture requirements.

2, focal length

generally are equipped with standard lens on the camera, that angle is close to the human eye lens perspective.This lens, it should only shoot pictures of people full-body or large bust.If the half-length figure or head for filming close-up due to too close, often caused people image perspective distortion, and some lenses in the past, if the prescribed distance from the most recent photo shoot, we can not assemble into sharper focus.Therefore, the shooting head, or close-up figures, it is necessary the use of coke or a telephoto lens, its focal length usually takes 1-2 times over the standard lens in order to convert 35mm camera "equivalent focal length" for example, the lens focal length required to 105Hao meters, so that distance from the camera and characters, can maintain more than 1.5 meters, both to make the focus clear, but also to avoid the nose and large ears and small deformation phenomena.Small photos of the indoor shooting, if you encounter a lack of deterioration of the situation, we need to use short focal length lens (ie wide-angle lens), but prone to near the far smaller and slightly deformed characters on both sides of the defect.

3, diameter

shot half-length figures and head features, the effective lens diameter (maximum aperture) to large is appropriate in order to make clear the main body, the backgroundslightly blurred, to enhance a sense of near and far space perspective, thus highlighting the main body.In addition, the effective lens aperture large, in the light, slightly dark situations without flash to capture dynamic figure, still use a faster shutter speed.

5, tourism, film characters, which should carry photographic equipment and accessories?

1, photographic equipment,

tourism figures to be taken to carry photographic equipment, generally light is appropriate.Typically, the film tour commemorative photo, holding an ordinary digital camera can deal with.If the person intends to further engage in photography, such as shooting some of the local customs, etc., it is best to carry an interchangeable lens digital SLR, and accompanied by the equivalent of 35mm camera 28-80 mm lens angle of the zoom lens 1,easy to meet the needs of both the photography, but also reduce the equipment size; Alternatively, you can use the original standard lens of the camera at the same time, and then configure the wide-angle lens and the lens of one to use.

regardless of what the carrying cameras, lens hood and spare batteries, storage equipment, etc. to be ready.Can also carry a small electronic flash or reflectors for auxiliary lighting.To be able to maintain the camera and lens clean, to bring the lens paper and lens brush, if they can bring an even more ideal and blow up balloons.Travel shooting people, because hand-held shooting could be more free to choose the angle, so the use of a low frequency tripod without having to carry; but if put on a precautionary measure, of course, better.

6, What kind of people photography?

figure photography layout, based on the theme of requirements, simplify and remove everything that has nothing to do with the subject will be scheduled for the leading position of the main characters.This dominant position, not at the central screen, because it seems to make the screen is divided into two halves, seem dull, blunt, lack of artistic expression.

" syrup " Photo: Summer Fiesta

Usually, the main characters could be arranged in the golden beauty spotson.The so-called Golden Section, is one of the plastic arts composition law will soon be a line segment divided into two parts, so that a greater proportion of the overall relatively small part of the ratio is equal to the ratio and the greater part of its ratio of 1:1.618.The rule applies to photographic composition, that is, to adopt this ratio will be photographic images of various paintings two horizontal straight line, so that some images are divided into nine cells, take these four to form a straight line on the screen of the four intersection points, as the golden section.Generally speaking, these four cross-point recognized by aesthetic value, regardless of which any one of the main characters are arranged an ideal location, because the position of both changes, and have a stable and comfortable feeling, in line with people's aesthetic demands.

They also need to pay attention, characters, and other features of the arrangement, we must prioritize, density delivered, not stacked full of.Sometimes, in addition to the location of the main characters make appropriate arrangements, often also through other characters and scenes, playing the role of Pui lining or balance.Pictures of people on the dynamics, such as the child learning to walk, bicycle race, will have to figure in a dynamic front, leaving more blank parts in order to allow room for stretching forward to meet the usual habit of looking at things.

7, the characters balanced picture of how to master photography?

balance is on a mechanical concept, applied to people photography composition, refers to the screen in the photo objects are in a relatively balanced state, so that pictures of people able to generate a sense of stability in the visual, comfortable feeling.To obtain a balanced picture people photography in general should pay attention to arrangements for the following areas:

1, figure head and face area

head and face, figure photography, visual, facial for the weight, headlighter.Therefore, the film profile shot, the images need some post-partial, or even behind the back of the head may from time to leave space in front of space than the face, back of the head.This will allow a line of sight to the face in order to stretch room, but also to maintain balance between the severity of the screen.However, some express "thrust" plot themes, the characters face, the front room is less than brain, so the screen there is a sense of weightlessness, which is based on the theme for a special needs placement.

2,of the main aspects

People Photography inequality screen structure was photo objects stoop, Yang, or tilt position, often leading to instability in the feeling of weightlessness.To this end, through the principal's own shoulders to their own hands, as well as topic-related books, flowers, mugs, fans and other objects in foil to "pad", can make the play a steady role in the main body of weightlessness.

3, the main area with foil

a scene as a foil figure photography theme, in the visual, the figures for the weight, features a lighter.To this end, people occupy more space can be arranged smaller size, but occupy space on the scene were arranged a little bigger, in order to obtain a balanced picture.For example, shooting people write bust scenario, in which a large area of the figure, may cause biased towards one side, with this, the other side of the table can be placed on the bottle or ink-stone and other objects, so that to maintain a balanced picture.

4, light and dark light in the deep

figure photography composition, in regard to the deep shade light, visual light and heavy are different, generally dark as the heavy, pale light.Typically, a small area of available surface and the deep color to large areas of gray or light color block surface to balance.In case of a site is too deep or too easy, light and heavy from lack of coherence can be too deep pale features, the site of choice as a "pad"; also available on the site of choice too light dark scene as a "pad."But strict attention to the deep end of light and the light at the end of the deep King King, must have a certain contrast, can play an increase or decrease the weight and balance screen role.

5, color in

different colors, visual components are also different.Typically, warm, Chromic as the most important, cool, unlucky color lighter.Its balance laws, but also to small surface warm or cool side of Chromic corresponding bulk or unlucky color.For example, the characters face, warm small plane around the block can be arranged to cool a larger surface; when shooting warm-toned pictures of people, we should as far as possible the face, bright color, but will dull the surrounding warm handled better, both forhighlight the main, but also allows the screen to be color balanced.
