Common sense of group photo shooting

1. Manual white balance is used for special occasions. When we take group photos indoors, the lighting effects in many homes are different. At this time, it is best to adjust the white balance according to the properties of the light, so that the color of the light has less influence on the photo.

It is suggested to use the manual white balance in the camera in some places where the light color is obviously yellow, and choose the correct white balance according to the environment, which will generally be explained in the camera. After all, the effect of shooting under different white balances is different. We'd better set the white balance according to the environment and restore the truest color.

2. Avoid dark environment and use the flash carefully. Try not to take a group photo in the dark, because at this time, you either have to rely on the camera's high sensitivity and lack a lot of details, or shoot people with a flash, and the already dark background is even darker. However, if Libby says that there is a baby on the whole skin in the group photo, the flash can easily hurt the child's eyes, and the flash shooting can easily cause everyone's "red eye", which is very ugly.

In this case, you should turn off the flash, go to a brighter place to shoot or improve the ISO sensitivity of the camera. If you have a SLR camera, you can try to shoot with a large aperture and a slower shutter speed, otherwise you will shoot a virtual shadow, so I suggest you try to find a place with a brighter environment. 3. Spot metering ensures the accurate exposure of the guarantor. Spot metering is generally used to shoot background light in dark environment. If you use the camera's global average metering, the face will be overexposed, that is, too bright and too white, and too many details will be lost.

In case of printing large-size photos, it will be very confusing. This is why we need to use spot metering and put the metering point on people's face to ensure the accurate exposure of the subject of the photo. 4. Keep your memory and take a clear background. Many people have seen many photos with blurred backgrounds. I don't suggest doing this when taking a group photo. Of course, when we take a group photo, we need someone to remind us of the time and place to take this group photo in combination with the background.

If the background is blurred, it either looks like a big photo, or you can't remember where the photo was taken years later. Leave as much space as possible for the background.

5. A unique perspective makes the space active. When taking photos with many members, some people will not enter the camera, and some will be blocked by the people in front. At this time, we can shoot from another angle, such as overhead shooting. At this time, we will leave infinite space for the background, so that everyone can completely enter the camera, and people in the back row will not worry about their faces being blocked.

Also, you can do some cheerful actions to make the whole photo more active.

0 1 The most common standing posture is standing in a row. For example, in graduation photo, this method is relatively dull. We can make some gestures, and the most important thing is to keep our movements consistent.

This way of standing diagonally requires the group to stand diagonally and not cover people's faces. Photographers can take pictures through the diagonal principle, giving people a sense of extension. Of course, this method needs a good reference as the background.

Standing in an arc requires the short man to stand on both sides and the tall man to stand in the middle, which can narrow the height gap between the tall man and the short man, make the picture more harmonious and can accommodate many people. It is common to stand in multiple rows. Generally, it is divided into sitting posture, semi-squatting posture, standing posture according to height, and then standing empty, so that the person in front can't stop the face of the person behind. In addition, the distance between the front row and the back row is about half a shoulder.

Standing on the stairs and the latter sitting on the stairs require everyone to stand on the stairs, stand in the air and act in unison. Everyone poses according to their position. If possible, you can shoot with a drone. If not, you can find a commanding height to shoot, which is very effective.

If the number of people is not particularly large, everyone can do an action, such as lying in the position as mentioned above, then shooting, and hand-drawing at the back, which is also very interesting. End.

3. Generally, it is better to take several outdoor photos.

Scattered light should be used for group photos, and photos can be taken all day on cloudy days, and the sun should be tilted at 8 am and 4 pm on sunny days, under the shadow of buildings.

If you have to take pictures in the sun, you can only choose the overhead light and fill the light with a high-power flash. Because smooth subjects can't open their eyes; Backlight will produce glare; Side light will produce many irregular shadows, because the subjects block each other and are not suitable.

It is best to take a group photo with soft natural light, and try to avoid direct sunlight and backlight.

Secondly, focus the camera with the center point, and select the person whose center point is in the middle of the horizontal row and slightly in front of the middle of the vertical row; After focusing successfully, you can zoom in to see if the collective main face is clear and fine-tune it appropriately; After the focus is completed, signal the subject to prepare for taking pictures, and take appropriate photos after several snapshots. 3. Focus the whole picture with wide-area focus, and put everyone in the focus frame; After focusing successfully, you can zoom in to see if the collective main face is clear and fine-tune it appropriately; After the focus is completed, signal the subject to prepare for taking pictures, and take appropriate photos after several snapshots.
