Five things need to be cared about for shooting portrait photos

1. The timing

When can capture a decisive moment character expression or action, I would say good Timing. The decisive moment does not represent an accident, you can expect it can appear under certain conditions, and then are you ready for everything else, and at the same time of trigger it by pressing the shutter.

2. Expression in one's eyes.

From contact portrait photography to now I think eyes are like a ring, cannot be ignored in representative to communicate with the audience's eyes, his eyes are much more subtle details of the light can, to take to look to the other end of the photographs is the most ideal, plus I use most often 50 mm focal length, filming the scene when add the visual sense in life.

3. The color

To convey a photograph of the atmosphere will be affected by color, so if you want to take pictures of the atmosphere, bright, colorful, warm color will be more direct than low saturation, monotonous, partial cool color, when you plan after good body which should be in color, to the scene to avoid even eliminate all interference, extra color objects.

This is why some photos look simple sense is good, some look a bit vulgar. If you want to let others began to praise your photos, start from the understanding of color patterns is a direct and effective choice. Go to Google "color plan"!

4. Light

The same place, the same character, can arrange light taps can be back lighting, feeling is completely different. If possible I would prefer photographing, skin can get the details of the modification, and the picture will be "more a layer of" because of the camera down interval between characters and photographs on the surface of feeling, some people say it is air feeling, also can say that is more "fu"?

And suitable light nothing is bad, make the most of can increase the picture stereo feeling, but must pay attention to the light if hit close to the lens in the side of the face, is the so-called "fat light", if need to modify the face can be special attention and please subject transformation point of view.

5. Situation (subject)

Most of the time there is no need to put out the model pose painstakingly, after all, we aim to shoot character itself, rather than emphasize a commodity. Experienced model combined with pose with unnecessary change too much, it sounds I feel like imitating the racquet, but what do you want to sell? If we did not want to sell things, actually can focus more focused on the subject, you spent two to three hours to shoot a man, finished but know nothing about each other, photo is hard to further explore various facets of the subject.
