How to photograph a natural portrait

I think people are trying to get a look in to relax, a portrait of the man in the photo should be natural, sincere, not sedulous feeling, we all like the photos. So you should have a choice in, only the subject real moments. Taken in the same time, it is completely right could be wrong. I found in some shooting, if you don't have to give some positive, enough guidance will be difficult to make the subject object look feel relaxed and natural. They finally played an embarrassed and didn't look very confident posture, in fact at that time, if you pay attention to some communication skill will make better. Taken some looks relaxed portrait on the morphology and structure is not complicated. But you need to have some skills, here are some of the techniques for your reference:

1. Get to know your subject.

Even just a short conversation, seconds communication will make you closer with the subject. For me this is the beginning of all projects, when I use email and customer communication back and forth in the upcoming movie, I always let myself to try as much as possible, so the client from the beginning will have a good impression on me. My style of photography is also my own personality, so the real important is subject to my feeling is comfortable, it helps them feel a sense of security and show their true in side. And honest also allows me to know them better, once we start shooting, I usually have a firm understanding of and feeling to them, I know what they need, and I can help them to show their best side.

2. In the beginning trying out for a few photos to break the deadlock

I always hope for shooting photo the first decade of the report, I started filming might be a little nervous, my model also can be a bit nervous, these are not conducive to shot to a good photo. But whether these means you need to wait for some time before shooting to make the nervous mood calm? Absolutely not. Immediately into the shooting area, immediately, in state may in some kind of shooting will change. It's like direct jumped into the water. When you use longer bit by bit into the water, you'll find that than directly jump into the water is more difficult to endure, jumped into the water will make your body muscle can directly on the instant

3. Make full use of good location.

Before arrive in a location, I will have a model for personalized solutions. So at this point to look for a suitable filming sites is an important problem. If the model is a bit shy, I wouldn't take them to crowded park, and hope that they will be able to embrace such action, thus to some sexy photos. I need to be familiar with the location, so that I can know some private place, and take them to the right place, so that we can make them feel more comfortable, better during production, and I can inspire some inspiration and taken out some special photos. Sometimes it's difficult for me, because sometimes I focus more on the light (light can really inspired my shot), and fewer pay attention to the background of the photo. Sometimes in order to make them feel more comfortable have to sacrifice the light, I always remind myself, finally get a perfect light but featureless main body photos, let the body model in the photo have some sincere natural thing, even if the light is not the most perfect.

4. Help shooting time.

Just as the title above, you can't just stand there waiting for time to appear. In a wedding, of course, because people are going through an event, your task is to catch the real side. Portrait photography and filming are totally different... In 99.9% of the conventional portrait shooting project (i.e., not well-trained professional models), you need to give the subject a few basic guidelines. Usually when I was in a portrait works is very simple, as long as my subject sitting or standing, and in the composition of the viewfinder position accurately. Then I step back and let them "began to work," I tell them to just be yourself. If it is husband and wife, I'll tell them as long as each other into the role. I try to make them laugh, I need to make them smile. I asked them to pretend I don't exist and snuggle, I will let them do their own thing, but I will help them do better.

Sometimes, I'll let my subjects to participate in some activities. I let them do their own thing, so that I can take to the wonderful moment of naturally occurring. But even so, if is a family photo, I will try to tell mom and dad want to remember I was there. Otherwise, I may eventually captured many photographs of the head turn your back on me, they need to have a general sense, I around them, but don't pay attention to me.

5. Stepped forward to photograph.

My model will first tell you, I am not a passive, cool photographer. Yes, I went up to close to the shooting. This is also why to think and feel comfortable when you are with me. I use prime lens portrait taken, so this means that the zoom mainly by walk. Guess what, if I want to shoot close-ups, means I have to be very close in to the model. I know this sounds you may feel a little sick, but for me, I think it helps me to shoot, so me and the subject is more like a team. Together we created a truly harmonious atmosphere, and eventually captured by some real, natural, was a photograph of emotional communication, sometimes become friends. Because if use zoom all the pictures taken in the same position will make the photo on the morphology and structure were lost contact.
