How to take good portraits

In daily life, take a child's every move. It's hard to take a good photo of children, because they don't listen to you, but you can often capture the most natural and real results. You can secretly shoot them or get them used to the camera.

The most common way to show people's personalities is to add items that are relevant to their daily life in portraits. For example, when taking pictures of a child, let him bring his favorite toy. When taking pictures of young people, let them pick up their favorite instruments. When taking pictures of adults, let them stand in their work environment.

The best portrait often appears in the subject, put down the camera forget his own preparedness, and then they showed the most natural posture and facial expressions. So take a picture while they're working on something. It's hard to hold a camera in a bag for such a moment, and it's best to keep your camera in your hand.

Shooting tips

Use aperture priority mode to shoot, open large aperture to the background. Focus on the eyes of the subject. If there is more than one person in the picture, it is better to put them on the same focal plane to ensure that the resolution is consistent. If you can't, at least make sure that minor and important people aren't too far apart to be too vague. Many of the children's actions can't be photographed, and the more is the king.

For each portrait, the eye is the most important area of the picture if its face can be clearly identified and large enough to be taken. The reason is that the eye is one of the most communicative and expressive features of the human face. When talking to others, we can get much information from the eyes of the other: we can find each other just said is the truth or lies, overtones can also read emotion and additional information from no say in. Therefore, as the saying goes, "eyes are the window of the soul", this sentence is not without reason. When we look at a portrait, we can't help but focus our eyes first on the eyes of the characters, expecting the image to be clear enough to see the details. Therefore, you should focus on the eyes of the model as accurately as possible during the shooting process. If the focus is placed on the nose, ears, or just eyelashes, the resulting pictures will be intentionally or unintentionally regarded as defective or faulty. In addition, for a pair of expressive eyes, just shooting it out in full screen will be very intense. The eyes thus show are enough to hold up the entire picture and guide the viewer to imagine the rest of the face.
