The photography skills shared by Shi Mo can be used by both mobile phones and cameras.
So, what are you waiting for-
Life requires a sense of ritual. Especially when family and friends get together, taking a group photo is more appropriate.
In the past, people needed to go to a photo studio to take pictures. Let the master who took the photo arrange the shape of the family photo, and the photo pose is mechanical and restrained, and the warm atmosphere of the family is missing.
Now it's all about taking pictures with your mobile phone, and you can take a group photo anytime and anywhere. The pose can also be simple and relaxed, without being as rigid as in a photo studio.
Figure 11: The photo scene should be open, and the wide angle should be given priority at home.
2. Look at your head first, then your feet, don't blink and smile.
3. The line is restrained, and the shape of the mountain character is better.
4. Red envelope couplet props add joy to the New Year's holidays.
5. Eating and giving gifts can be taken, and family interaction is interesting.
Happiness is actually very simple, take a family photo with a sense of luxury. Just use the photography mantra summarized by Shimo to take every warm moment.
Figure 2: The first condition for taking a family portrait is to choose a relatively open venue.
Because there are a lot of people. The place is too small to fit.
Moreover, the choice of photographic background is directly related to the atmosphere of the shooting. If you choose to shoot outdoors, it's a family outIf you choose to shoot indoors, such as at home. That is a happy family reunion.
Home is a safe haven for everyone. Shi Mo thinks that the most suitable place to take a family photo is at home. Because "the gold nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own kennel", the old saying "if you have money, you don't have money to go home for the New Year" is also the truth.
To take a family portrait at home, Shimo recommends that you use a wide-angle lens.
Because the wide-angle lens can make the perspective relationship of "near large and far small" more obvious, there is a visual effect of "shrinking in the middle and stretching the corners". In particular, the scenery in the middle of ** will look deeper and farther away.
Converted into the vernacular, it is——
You can take pictures with a mid-focal length lens for 3 people, and with a wide-angle lens, you can take photos with 5 people. There are many people at home and the place is not spacious, so taking pictures with a wide-angle lens can take pictures of everyone in **.
Nowadays, many mobile phones set the default lens to a wide-angle lens, also in order to store more picture elements.
Figure 3: Comparing the effects of Figure 3 and Figure 4, it is not difficult to see the difference between a wide-angle lens and a mid-focal length lens.
Taking a photo with a wide angle can make ** look "deep and far", take a group photo, and everyone can gather in the middle.
Figure 4: If you take a family photo at home, if you don't have a wide-angle lens, or if the shooting space is relatively narrow, you can't guarantee a complete full-body ......Then "take care of your head first, then your feet"!
Why do you want to "look at your head first, then your feet"?
Because we shoot portraits ......The face is the most important.
Think about it carefully, in our daily life, when we see acquaintances, we look at ** at first sight
It's "look at the face", right?
Even if you meet strangers you don't know, you look at them in "head-to-toe" order. Normal people don't look at it upside down.
So of course, you have to take care of your face first.
Taking a group photo and understanding the "face" arrangement first is the first priority. Ensure that every photographer who participates in the group photo can "show their faces", so that everyone's expression is clear.
Then, it is whether it can be filmed to ensure that everyone is a full-body portrait with "complete hands and feet".
Figure 5 is a small place at home, and the photo distance is short. If the family sits around and takes pictures, there is a chance that they will not be able to photograph their feet;
Or a person who is located in the corner of **, missing arms and hands. For example, Figure 5 has this effect.
In Figure 6, if this happens, either take a picture with a wide-angle lens, such as the effect of Figure 6;
Or let the family sit tighter and only take half-length photos.
If you can't shoot all the characters in the corners, you can only look at your head first and then your feet.
After all, it's the face that counts.
Figure 7: Take a family photo, and facial expression management is very important. One of the most common examples is that when everyone has their eyes open and smiling, the person who takes pictures and blinks and has a wooden expression will become an alternative in **.
Everybody's eyes open, but you're closed?Everyone is laughing, and you are ...... at a lossThis ** will have to be remade.
So it's important to remember that taking a family photo is a group activity. Everyone's expressions and movements should be harmonious and unified. Don't affect the quality of family photos because of a person's "not entering the play".
Figure 8 takes a group photo, is it for the family to line up in a rowOr is it staggered, high and low?
The kind of mode that lines up to take a group photo ......It's too old, and it looks very restrained.
Home is a place to relax, you don't have to be like in the unit, upright, step-by-step. So of course, you don't have to take a group photo in the unit, lined up, with a polite smile on your face.
We can use the shape of a "mountain shape" to take a family photo.
Dad is the head of the household, and he is the "peak" of the group photo;Mom is the Minister of Finance, and she is the "side peak" of the group photo;The child is the hope of the family, so put it in the middle of the **!
Figure 9: It is okay to put the child in the middle of **, or let the elderly sit in the middle of **.
Respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.
Figure 10 If the distance is not enough, it is okay to take a picture from the side.
The main point of the "mountain-shaped" layout is that there are high and low, and there are staggered.
Figure 11 Usually everyone is busy, even if it is a family, the work and rest time are different, and there is often a situation where you are not there.
Taking a family portrait generally requires an "opportunity" where the whole family is present. Either it's the New Year's holidays, and everyone rests;Either it is a specific day, such as the birthday of the elderly in the family, and the children and grandchildren have a big feast.
When taking a family photo on a specific day, of course, it is necessary to capture the atmosphere of "this day".
So photographic props are indispensable.
For example, during the New Year's holidays, the elders will give red envelopes to the children.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone will decorate their homes, paste couplets and blessing words.
There are also birthday cakes, longevity peaches, and longevity noodles ...... to be prepared for the elderlyAnd so on, they are all good photographic props.
Figure 12 With the red envelope in hand, the blessing will follow me.
The old man gives red envelopes to children, either for the New Year or for longevity.
Figure 13 took a group photo with the Spring Festival couplets in his hand, and he knew that it was the New Year.
And everyone in the family is dressed in joy, and this photo atmosphere is very festive.
Figure 14 takes a family photo at home, focusing on a warm atmosphere, and there must be a storyline to have a sense of substitution.
For example, the whole family makes dumplings and eats dumplings together, as well as congratulating the elderly on their birthdays, kowtowing to their children and grandchildren, and giving red envelopes ......Wait a minute.
Shoot this kind of ** with a storyline, don't just pose for photos. Otherwise, it will seem a bit "fake".
The correct way to do this is to take a shot in a pose, and take a lot of shots. Don't be afraid to waste the shutter.
Even if you take some "ugly" moments, it doesn't matter, family photos, warmth and nature are the most important thing.
Figure 15: My grandparents taught me how to make dumplings, and my little granddaughter is so smart that she can roll dumpling skins.
It teaches the method of cooking, and inherits the food culture.
Figure 16: Adults feeding children, this kind of scene is very warm;
Grandpa dropped a ...... when he was sandwiching dumplingsSuch a ** is definitely not for posing.
One surprise, it is very interesting in life.
Figure 17: Fireworks in the world, hot pot sitting.
Steaming hot and fun for the whole family.
