The necessary steps to take beautiful photos 1, the attitude conveyed by the lens
First of all, tell the subject the shooting theme and shooting location in detail, so that she can have an intuitive understanding of shooting; Then there is what kind of emotions and attitudes the photographer wants to convey through this group of shooting. Only by knowing the photographer's thoughts in detail can the photographer know what kind of state to enter and what kind of posture and expression to make to convey such a state.
When describing, you can first say it abstractly and describe your thoughts in detail in language. For example, if you want to take a group of photos showing the quiet feeling in the suburbs, you can tell the photographer that the shooting location is on the grassland in the suburbs. What I want is a quieter sense of role, expressing an indifferent and peaceful attitude towards life with skirts and hair fluttering in the wind.
If the photographer says this description is too abstract and not specific enough, you can give her a detailed scene to feel.
For example, you can imagine a quiet woman walking in the suburbs, with yellow-green grass under her feet and small white flowers, blue sky and faint white clouds behind her. The sun shines on you, and your skirt and hair dance in the breeze. You are wearing a floral silk dress, feeling the fresh air, warm sunshine and gentle breeze. Let the world be noisy and I will be quiet.
In this way, with a specific picture, the photographer's feelings will be more intuitive. I don't recommend showing similar photos to photographers, because photos and movies will have a preconceived feeling, and the description of words and languages has unlimited imagination. If you look at another photographer's photo first, it will be easier for the photographer to follow the feeling of that photo, so there will be no more scenes, and it is not your feeling.
Therefore, it is easier to have more feelings and better effects by describing the picture in an emotional way and letting the photographer imagine it in words or words, just like acting.
Step 2 choose a hairstyle that suits the photographer
When conceiving a theme, choosing a scene and choosing props, you can do it according to the photographer's idea, but clothes and hairstyles need to be chosen according to the photographer's characteristics. No matter how popular and beautiful things are, it is most important to be suitable for the photographer. Therefore, I put the choice of hairstyle in the early communication with the subject.
I believe everyone knows how much hair style affects a person, and it is the same when shooting. To choose a beautiful dress, you need to match a hairstyle that matches the dress, the subject and the face of the subject.
2. 1 Choose the hairstyle according to the face of the subject.
Should I have long hair or short hair? Is it true that everyone loves the middle part? What kind of hairstyle will make your face look smaller? This must be what photographers and subjects want to know.
What kind of hairstyle you choose depends entirely on the contour of your face. However, before talking about hair styles, we should first understand the composition of various parts of the face and the commonly used terms, so that we will not be unfamiliar with this part in the future.
Considering that some male photographers don't know much about girls, and many places will talk about these nouns later, let's take a look at the picture below to find out. If you already know these terms, you can skip them directly.
2.2 Long hair or short hair
First, decide whether you are suitable for long hair or short hair.
Why do some people look good with long hair, but feel uncomfortable when they are cut short, while others don't look good with short hair?
The "2.25-inch rule" is a guiding tool to decide whether you are suitable for long hair or short hair. In fact, it is a way to distinguish a long face from a short face. (2.25 inches = 5.715cm)
You can take out a ruler and a pen, put the pencil horizontally under your chin and put the ruler vertically under your ear to get the length between the pen and the ruler.
If your length is close to 5.7 cm, then you are suitable for both long hair and short hair; If it is shorter than 5.7 cm, then your face is shorter and more suitable for short hair; If it is longer than 5.7 cm, it is more suitable for long hair.
The monthly measurement results are close to 5.7cm, so long hair and short hair are very suitable for her.
The result of hh measurement is longer than 5.7cm, so long hair looks better.
The long measuring distance is shorter than 5.7cm, so after cutting short hair, the face that originally looked shorter looks a little longer and relatively smaller.
In recent years, there is also a versatile hairstyle suitable for all kinds of faces, that is, lob, which is also a long wave head. This hairstyle is just shoulder-length or shoulder-length, between long hair and short hair, which can cover the too wide jaw, so it is more suitable for long face, short face or face with just the right length.
2.3 Not all face shapes are suitable for split points.
When taking pictures of guests, the most common hairstyle is the middle part. Why does everyone like the middle part? As a result, everyone thinks that the middle hairstyle can make people look thinner and smaller, so in recent years, it is basically a unified middle hairstyle.
However, is everyone really suitable for middle school?
Proper split hairstyle does have the effect of face-lifting, but girls with the following characteristics are not suitable for keeping split hairstyle. See if there is you in it.
The first is a face with a long forehead, and the hairstyle in the middle will make your forehead look longer; Secondly, the face with a long chin, similarly, the middle part will only make your face look longer; Then there are girls with too little weight on their heads. Needless to say, middle school will make your defects look more obvious and your head will collapse. Finally, a girl with a big nose and a long nose, with a hairstyle in the middle, will make your atrial defects more obvious.
If you are not in these characteristics, congratulations, you can choose a hairstyle in the middle.
So which face defects can be beautified with medium hair style? If you have such a problem, then the middle part is your essential hairstyle.
Round face, full cheeks, and the middle part can modify your roundness; For a face with a sunken temple, the hairstyle in the middle can cover up the defects in this position; There is not much hair on the outer contour (refers to the hair on both sides of the face, not the hair on the top of the head! Girls can also use a medium hairstyle to increase the amount of hair on their faces.
Although the hairstyle in the middle can cover some cheeks, people's vision is more focused on the five senses, so even if your face is suitable for the middle, you should see if your five senses are in line with the proportion of three courts and five eyes. If there is a big defect in the proportion of five senses, it is best not to leave this hairstyle that highlights the defects of five senses. A partial score of four or six points is probably more suitable for you.
In addition to looking at the face shape and the proportion of facial features, the head shape also determines the correct way to open the midpoint.
If your head is full and round, you can choose where to distribute it. If it is not full and round, it can be distributed from the forehead to two-thirds of the top of your head. This can present a round hairstyle line, create a visual effect of a lot of hair from the forehead to the back of the head, make the head full, expose the head or flat back.
Before taking pictures, I usually remind guests not to put their hair behind their ears, especially the hairstyle in the middle. Don't show your whole face and ears unless the facial contour is perfect and the proportion of the five senses is good. When all the hair is nailed behind the ear, it will cling to the scalp, revealing your skull, face and facial features, especially the forehead, temple position, cheekbones and mandible. Try to let the hair on the side of the face droop naturally, which not only modifies the face shape, but also looks more natural.
2.4 Do you want to tie your hair up or tie it up?
You may ask, do you all wear hair when you take pictures?
Everyone knows that keeping your hair will make you slim and tying your hair will make you look energetic, but if your head is flat and the sides of your forehead are not full enough, tying your hair will make your head sharp and your face bigger, so this head contour is not suitable for any hairstyle that ties your hair close to your scalp.
Tie your hair and look good on your face.
If your contour lines are soft and your bones are not obvious, tying your hair will also enlarge this feature and make your facial contour have no three-dimensional effect. When wearing hair, the shadows formed by the hair on both sides of the face can add a three-dimensional sense to the vision, which can well weaken the characteristics of inconspicuous outline.
Similarly, if your bones are obvious and your facial features are three-dimensional, the hair on both sides of your face will make your tough outline more obvious when you wear your hair, so it will look better if you tie it up.
2.5 Other considerations for hairstyle
From the shooting point of view, if it is not a fashionable street feeling or a photo with special needs, it is best not to have a particularly exaggerated color in the hair color, so as not to affect the shooting style. It should also be noted that after dyeing hair, it will grow a piece of black and another color, which is not very beautiful and is not easy to adjust later. It is best to dye the hair color back or make up the color, so that the hair color will be unified.
In fact, in order to ensure the nature of shooting, it is also recommended that you don't cut your hair before shooting, especially bangs, because the hair just cut will be unnatural and it will take a long time to become more natural. If you are unlucky, cut out a question and shoot it the next day, it will be in trouble. So if you want to cut your hair, you can do it about a week in advance. I don't know if you have such an experience. The hair you just cut always looks bad. Wait ten days, and you will feel good. So it's best to cut your hair one week in advance before shooting. A week or so can make your hairstyle more natural, not the feeling of deliberately cutting it.
Of course, if you just wash your hair, blow dry, curl your hair or do it earlier on the day of shooting, don't let greasy hair affect the feeling of shooting. I finally waited for the slight breeze, but my hair was too greasy to float. How embarrassing!
3. Attention should be paid to details such as underwear, shoes and socks.
Speaking of which, do you think you have prepared so much before shooting? In fact, these are not all. As big as the shooting site, props, costumes and hairstyles, as small as the photographer's shoes, socks and underwear, it is necessary to communicate with the photographer in detail before shooting. Any link may become a failure that affects shooting.
3. 1 underwear
As a professional model, it is common sense to prepare underwear, but in the presence of non-professional models and guests, it is necessary to explain it to the guests in advance. Especially when shooting in summer, people often wear white clothes or skirts, and some clothes that are a little transparent and have strapless shoulders. At these times, the photographer should be reminded to prepare light-colored underwear in advance, preferably white or flesh-colored, and the underwear strap should be detachable, so as to adapt to more clothes and avoid being worn. If you are shooting a short skirt, please also prepare safety pants and other measures in advance to avoid wearing a skirt when shooting.
If you need to change clothes outdoors when shooting, you can ask the photographer to wear white or flesh-colored suspenders and safety leggings inside the clothes in advance, so that even if you can't find a suitable place to change clothes outdoors, you can change clothes anytime and anywhere without running out. For clothing products that change clothes frequently, it can also save the time of changing clothes and improve the shooting efficiency.
Of course, as a photographer, it is also essential to prepare a small tent for outdoor dressing.
3.2 shoes
No matter how beautiful the clothes are, if the styles and colors of shoes don't match, it will be miserable. Shoes and socks are also an important aspect of preparation.
The colors of shoes are mostly white, gray, black and other neutral colors or brown, and the styles need to be matched according to the clothes you choose. Generally speaking, a pair of small white shoes can be applied to many clothes and occasions.
Daily and casual wear can be matched with small white shoes, and low tops and high tops can be used. For example, jeans, suspenders, shorts, short skirts and long cotton dresses, wearing a pair of small white shoes is more youthful and fresh.
Long skirts can be paired with small white shoes.
Short skirts can be paired with small white shoes.
Sports shorts can be paired with small white shoes.
Pants can also be paired with small white shoes.
Feminine, feminine or retro clothes can be paired with small leather shoes, flat bottom, high heels and wedge shoes. If the environment is flat in the urban area, you can wear shoes with thin high heels and small thick heels; If you are not shooting in urban streets, it is best not to wear high heels, such as suburban grass or botanical gardens. High heels are not easy to walk except in the environment. When shooting outdoors, you usually walk more, and the shoes that are not easy to walk will also affect the shooting mood. Emotion is the most important part of shooting. You'd better wear flat shoes in the suburbs. If you feel that you need to wear high heels because of your height, try to choose small thick heels or wedge shoes that are not too high.
More spontaneous shooting, you can wear shoes that look very handsome, such as Martin boots, high-top canvas shoes and platform shoes. Don't be abrupt with clothes. White, black and brown are the first choice.
3.3 socks
Ordinary shooting can wear ordinary light socks, white, gray, light brown and other more versatile colors; If shooting on a cloudy day, the colors of the scene and clothes are dark or light, you can match a pair of socks with color skipping to set off the colors of the picture, such as red, blue and yellow. A small area of color jump can make the picture look more vivid.
White socks are matched with small white shoes, and the striped decoration of the sock mouth echoes the clothes.
Red socks play the role of embellishment on cloudy days, and there are small areas of bright colors to brighten the picture.
