Clever use of composition and figure to create beautiful portraits

One of the commonly used technique in portrait photography is by exaggerated and distorted way to shoot great visual impact images.

First, choose the appropriate equipment

First of all, we should be prepared with fisheye , super wide-angle , wide-angle lens, and understand the different focal length imaging and deformation effects . Fisheye lens is a focal length of between about 6-16 mm ultra- wide-angle photography short focal length lens, viewing angle can be close to or exceed 180 degrees. So the curved barrel distortion is very large, the screen will be bent around the line , only the central part of the lens can maintain the original state line .

Fisheye close to the subject when shooting can cause a strong perspective effect , emphasizing the subject near the far smaller in comparison , so that the taken pictures with a stirring appeal.Or use the photo effects software at the back stage to create the effects.

Ultra- wide-angle focal length is in the 16 - 24mm between the short focal length wide-angle lens with a wide field of vision, and, unlike a fisheye lens distortion is so strong, is to eliminate the distortion of the lens . Wide-angle lens focal length is the 24 - 35mm lens, wide field of view than standard lenses , super wide-angle lens distortion off than small , is widely used in the short-focus lens for portraiture .

Exaggeration and distortion is more extreme approach, the character's performance is better, you can make the picture to get a novel perspective , characters get a new interpretation ; whereas if used improperly , it will increasingly be photographed vilify , make it difficult to accept. Here I combine the specific character states and Beau , exaggerated and distorted composition techniques to explain the specific application .

Second, the high overhead to form seats cartoon

High seat overhead cartoon form

In the non-mainstream high seat emoticons style under the influence of high-seat studio overhead applications is also increasing. In the tradition of shooting, we just flat seats in a slight increase on the basis of seats to make the subject's face look more compact , but the picture is still normal relations perspective . .

Hands and feet are easy to be too obvious deformation part , you need to decide according to the shooting style is to be retained or discarded , if you want both clear perspective relationships do not want to be too cartoon picture when shooting can be selected to adjust the model's Beau , and leave your hands and feet treatment outside of the screen .
