How to excavate portrait highlights

Now on the way of commercial photography, I always think it is important to keep an open mind freely, especially not conform, not superstition equipment, the broad field of vision, always mindful of ambient light, the change of environment, accumulate more experience, so you can make of canvas prints pictures have sex more. Here is to share with you some of my thoughts.

In terms of "photo", I understand that the key is to express the aesthetic feeling of the heart of the people. Although we see photos mostly focus on "external" beauty, form, color, structure, etc., but good photography should be can see inside, can spread out from inside to outside, there are more angles possible interpretations. Who is a pictorial inner externalization? , of course, this is the ideal state, commercial photo shooting will always face all kinds of uncertain factors, in the pursuit of inner expression under the major premise of characters, or to vary from person to person, digging their own bright spots. Cannot become a mere formality, more cannot be modeled. To do this, there are telltale signs.


First, a unique approach to the treatment: with a story, there is emotional interpretation of the image of the picture.

More important is to slowly accumulate experience, and form its own unique processing technique. For example, we all know that the light tone and the change in the weather of photo style, character emotions, has great influence such as colour tendency, if you can put the weather and light filled the earth's surface scene, now make it become an important component of guiding the orientation of emotions can add a rich individual character color picture.

Second, the communication with music resonates, with music rhythm control rhythm.

Business guest films one of the biggest difficulties is how to let the photographer and customers to achieve ideological exchange, from the heart to understand and trust are details, comb emotion, the basis of performance figures, but also make good canvas prints pictures of premise. Before shooting to communicate with customers to understand their heart, and let them know of your main ideas. To be truly exquisite without identical, personality and not abrupt, need to establish a relationship within each other. Is probably ever engaged in the relationship between the music, I often choose interest in music as the way of communication. Targeted music its effect is much larger than general. They like to hear what song can intuitively reflect the present state of mind and idea, bring the emotion words not said to shoot is the best place to start.

In addition music rhythm can also be a good guide and control the scene, can let your subject character to relax, more quickly into the state, as the change of music melody and content, the character's emotions can further stimulated, and amplification. Need to pay close attention to in the process of filming characters of excitement and change, choose the most appropriate time to shoot.

Third, keep the picture, the independent appreciation

Photography is a subjective thing, this greatly affect our attitude toward their photos to watch. We are always willing to choose more perspective to interpret, especially environment, characters, mood is in place, always let a person get a fascinating one. This is why most photographers’ photos are set or series begin thinking. This is great, but sometimes also suffer excessive expansion problem, or is limited by the idea of a united keep series, affecting the independent appreciation of photos. I think from a single photograph design can let more targeted, style directivity is more clear, more washes practice shots also inevitable. Each picture all to establish their own location: at the moment the only one rather than a part of a series. Have their own complete and unique in scope, such pictures can better together.

Fourth, all were filled with images of emotions and extension services

When shooting a photo of the canvas prints, the photographer to consider yourself to express the content and emotional tendencies. The understandings in first came on the figure itself, but must not be confined in the character itself. This is like first derived from the character itself, but must not be limited in the character itself. That is to say, the character's emotion to have external focus, can be the atmosphere of light, color and texture, can be a scene as a whole or partial, can be the characters' costumes or props. Through these images to express the characters in the mood to help, to let the pictures have a daydream space. Only can slightly feel when look at the picture frame outside thoughts, such emotions don't straightforward shallow curt affectation, such images can only be able to bear or endure look.
