​Environmental portrait photograph

Environmental portrait photograph

We usually portrait photographs of the most commonly used way is "large aperture", because "large aperture" create a shallow depth of field effect will be more prominent characters, and as if the character to place oneself in a more "dream", a not see more in our daily life in the world. And this we will do exactly the opposite, no longer use "large aperture" the pursuit of blurred blur, pay more attention to the combination of people and the environment, let us in canvas prints images of environment at the same time also more perfect fusion, to regain the neglected details.

No.1 the technical preparation: by adjusting aperture basic tonality, iso, white balance control

Before shooting preparation is particularly important, we need to adjust the parameters of good camera itself, to control our basic tonality. First of all, according to the scene to confirm sensitivity, because of using a small aperture, so suggest iso appropriately raise some, not in place to ensure that the shutter speed too slow, resulting in unnecessary jitter (if it is a weak light or night shooting suggests bringing the tripod). Image texture, of course, the "advanced" or not is closely connected with photo quality, will have to consider in choosing a camera, high pixel can ensure even if your subject is amplified many, detail also can clear imaging. And white balance is very important to the establishment of the "mood" setting, such as the following, as a whole to build a kind of partial cold atmosphere, so to adjust color temperature make integral partial "green", want to reflect the effect in order to achieve.

No.2 the use of props: add or make full use of props, and the environment "interaction".

Use some props to combine environmental portrait will give canvas prints pictures add some fun. Environment such as this, itself is inside the window, only one white curtains and empty wooden floor, if only in the original environment portrait maybe took a few more will become very boring, for such problems, we can choose by adding items to solve, through a few roses adorned the picture color already, as well as the overall environment add many romantic breath, coupled with skirt have echoed feeling of the characters, and through the characters behind the curtain to create a unique "blur" and "dream", this is the large aperture of feeling not the same experience, composition has chosen the posture of the concentration of vertical composition to render characters instead of sending out the romantic breath.

No.3 increase interest: pay attention to the level of expression, portrait adding story for the environment.

Photos of environmental image it is important that sends the corresponding narrative information, this is the place that is different from pure characterization, environment can be a picture of a replacement in place of the characters, foil the tone and atmosphere of the overall picture, but also to build the whole picture of context. We are sometimes in order to let the pictures more content not too vague, can preset a fictional plot, characters come into emotions.

No.4 main body inverted: environment ACTS as the main body produce different results

In traditional thinking, we portrait photos usually more attention to the character's posture, facial expression, etc., with characters as the theme to creation, and in order to avoid the canvas prints oneness picture, we can consider "main body inverted" thinking, make the person ACTS as the whole picture of the scenery "foil", may have different effect.
