The hand pose tip in portrait photography

I find that the hand is one of the most easily overlooked parts of the pose, and the problem is particularly likely to occur between the new and the new. Usually the smallest details can have a huge impact on the atmosphere and quality of the photo, and if the hand is not handled properly, it will destroy the photos you took!

When the hand is placed in the vicinity of the face, can not only emphasize the same can weaken the emotions of the characters. The phrase we often hear is "talk with their hands."." Often used to express feelings and feelings naturally, often in a gesture or expression. Unfortunately, the hand is not the most attractive part of the body, and is also out of proportion to the rest of the body.

More interestingly, I found a lot of books and articles on posing advice: if you don't hand gesture, you can handle hidden. No, they're just cowards. Practice makes perfect. You just need to put a little attention in the human body structure. There is no absolute truth, you simply need to understand rather than look at what is in front of your camera.

Generally speaking, women's hands should appear graceful and elegant. A man's hands should show strength and masculinity. Because most of the women I shoot are women, so this article focuses on women's hands.

In my opinion, the hand should serve the purpose of taking pictures. May be able to take some props, may be used to make a photo frame for the face, may be used to support or cause attention. The simplest function is to provide a contrast to the graceful curve of a woman.

Another problem in the photo is often the wrist is bent. But I was thinking that if I had a girl in a comfortable position, I need to think about a lot of things. One thing to keep in mind is that all of the girls' bodies are related to the curve, so unless you want to make a stylish photo of the editing style - a strange gesture that makes the girl shrug. The more you seek the softer the better.

Shoulder and hand coordination

Sometimes I feel natural, does not need to look natural and easy way. The most common mistake that we see is the disappearing or amputated arm. It's important that you need to show your 2 hands gracefully when you need your the photographed to cross her hand in front of her chest. It is a good idea to make sure you are not shooting and leaned too tight, because it would allow the arm to flatten and widen.

Try again in the same scene

Usually, when we shoot the head of the photographed by the rest of their hands, the following picture is more natural. When the subjects really head resting on the hand, the back of the show is more natural, but also to the subjects of a masculine.
