The most important preparation for going out to shoot is to prepare the travel and shooting strategy. For landscape photographers, the focus is more on when and where to shoot. For portrait photographers, more attention is paid to the overall design of scenes and costumes.

Use props well to make portrait photography easier

For many people, the pose of a model has always been a difficult problem for the novice. It always feels like they don't know how to guide their movements.

Portrait photography is often shot as a group picture, which requires us to have more composition techniques to make the picture richer. The commonly used include central composition, tripartite composition, frame composition, triangle composition, vanishing point composition, guide line composition and so on. There are many factors to consider in the composition. In the choice of different composition forms, the balance and steadiness of the picture and the different feelings brought by different composition are the factors to be considered. A good portrait isn't just a form of composition, it's often a combination of multiple compositions.

A picture is a two-dimensional plane. If you want the picture to show space and level, you should be good at using and choosing foreground. Compared with landscape photography, the use of portrait photography has more choices and more flexible forms. Tourist portrait creation often goes to some relatively famous shooting places, the background of these shooting places is often very similar, at this time, it is necessary to choose different prospects to reflect the photographer's subjective perspective.

Many people like to take pictures of people when creating portraits, with faces and eyes as the focus of interest. In fact, a lot of times, we can try to shoot local, such films will often bring more imagination space to the picture. In the process of portrait photography, the model can get rid of the face and eyes to create. Indeed, most of the time the eyes are the window of the soul, can give the picture the finishing point.

Capture the emotion, let the photograph have the soul

An excellent portrait work should be full of vitality, which can trigger the emotional resonance of the viewer, and the most effective one is the emotional feeling brought by the picture. The capture of emotion is crucial in the creation of travel photography. This emotional feeling is determined by many factors, including the emotional characteristics of the model itself, the emotional driving of the picture in the early stage of light and shadow and composition, as well as the guidance and capture of the model's expression and body language.
