1. Subject matter Conception
The idea of the subject matter, or can be said to be emotional ideas, emotional guidance will determine the style of your films, if not so, your film will only win the "good-looking" word, a forgotten. You have to figure out what the main emotions you're going to shoot today, and then do a good job of getting the photographer's clothes, makeup, scenes, and the way you shoot them.
2. Equipment Selection
Under the influence of environment and light, the shooting of the scene portrait often needs to adopt to the high sense and the big aperture, under individual circumstances in order to ensure that the shutter speed of my ISO will be set to more than 2000, although there will be noise, but without considering the premise of high quality output, the later use of some noise-reducing plug-ins to properly handle the line.
I usually use the equipment is Canon 6 D, the lens is canon and the appropriate horse 35mm f/1.4, sometimes using 50mm f/1.8.
3. Environmental utilization
In the case of not using the flash, most people shooting night portrait scene selection is basically in the scene light relatively good place: overpass, more prosperous pedestrian street square and so on, these scenes are relatively good light, but we can also explore more scenes to enrich a group of films, such as the use of landscape lighting, underground garage, Billboards and other artificial light environment.
4. Composition method
The central composition is a more conventional way of composition, in addition, in the design of the lens language, I will use some preference to the film language composition, to large areas of space to stay white or rely on the structure of the lines to pass the relationship between the characters and scenes, we can try to many other different ways of composition.
5. Shooting Tips
There are some photographic techniques that can add some highlights to your entire set of images, such as re-exposure, silhouette, and so on. In this case, it is possible to open the camera's real-time viewing function (if your camera has this function) when you are exposed to it, which will make it easier for you to take a second picture of the visual composition.
6, the late thinking
Bold color: The color of the night is colorful, if blindly want to shoot transparent bright small fresh, uninteresting. Bold later colors can make your photos different, I have some films in the adjustment of white balance is more exaggerated, we can try as much as possible.
Know how to choose: Do not want to put all the details of the screen bright, the charm of the night is the contrast of light and shade more intense, dark color of the film will be more easily let people see your image of the center of gravity.
Try black and white: Some films are converted to black and white, and you will find that the contrast of light and shade and the intensity of your emotions will be better than color.
