"Staff Introduction"

Photography, later: Long An Hua (independent photographer, costume designer, university photography teacher, red control, antique control)

Makeup Niang, Assistant: Peach (special effects stylist, beautician, "human flesh (atomizer) printer")

Model: Qing Qing changting (in contract model, antique control)

The first step: preliminary preparation

The photo is not good, depending on the model ability, make-up stylist ability, clothing, scene, lighting modeling, on-site scheduling, late work and so on, and finally the photographer according to the shutter eyesight, from my understanding:

A good photographer is a "chef" who can make a choice between the previous set of elements.

Scene: This time to shoot the content is red retro, but must be clear about what ancient, to know what to choose the clothing, make-up modelling, light modelling, as well as tonal and later. Costume styling: Positioning in the 1970s, the clothing of their own design, modelling selected the era of popular curls, as well as headscarves.

A row of window seats at the entrance to the café, the light is good and suitable for makeup and natural daylight shooting.

Makeup Niang peach Hair painting wind more like an orange, but this does not affect her is my best makeup modeling partner, known as human flesh atomizer, hand halo dyed makeup surface transition than my home printer is even. Makeup and styling is a direct impact on the exquisite degree of photography, do not underestimate the preparation of each step, but also to consider what steps to put in the prophase, which steps in the medium term, which steps in the late--can be resolved in the early period must be resolved in the early, this is my principle-for example, for hair styling, Can use a lot of small steel clips, steel clips placed in what position, can be easily repaired later, this needs to be considered, and so on.

The scene is chosen at the third café in Chengdu, there are a large number of retro scenes and open-air small garden, weekend people more inconvenient shooting, you can choose to go in peacetime, the door of the car park is usually full, you can stop the roadside parking near the side of the road, the old Labrador in the shop to watch photos, gentle treatment; The door of a row of Windows can provide transparent and high brightness of natural light, indoor lighting is not enough so by the window part of the light is relatively large; depending on the window position can use photographic lights, indoor not allowed to use photographic lights; the tatami part has the Showa wind feeling can clap Showa.

Friends from the field can choose the right café according to this standard.

Scarves and curls are typical vintage costumes of the American the 1940s.

One of the most important, café is the place of business, please do not be stingy rub position, accounted for so many children film, or more consumption and listen to the arrangement is better, this is also the respect of the operator, so as not to incur the operator's aversion to the photographer, but also to the other photographer a variety of trees, I hope that the low quality photography of the sea pedicle garden will not happen again.

Step Two: Medium-term filming

Shooting equipment: Sony A7 + 50mm/f1.4 manual lens + LED lighting, using raw format shooting.

Shooting attention to avoid sundries and the contemporary Shong scenery, unexpectedly may reduce late work, must pay attention to the floor plug, table lamp line, background characters, posters on the wall, ashtrays and many other Shong and the sense of the sense of the era of the object son.

Red tones can make people feel retro, so you can set the white balance when shooting, so that the picture becomes warm.

Model Qing Qing changting when filming forgot to bring shoes, which became a sudden situation in the shooting, so this group of photos can not shoot the foot. Shooting often appear in such a sudden situation, at least I am like this, there are problems to find a way to solve the good.

Want to take a picture of the Showa wind poster feeling, the composition can be as big as possible, convenient later adjustment lens perspective.

Light layout, the scene of different lighting, depending on the window is the natural light of about 5600k, indoor only lamp lights 3200k or so, choose to shoot the scene must pay attention to the light color gentle texture problem, refer to the following shooting schematic.

The light of the cloth is thousands of times away from its pope, there is the main light at the same time, but also pay attention to the silhouette of the theme of light, the outline is a very beautiful thing, there is background light, for the retro tones, the background is also need to be illuminated by light to form a visual depth, so as to form a gray excessive color, In line with the the 1970s vintage image of the gray scale.

Filming time to maintain in two hours or so, the model needs half to one hours into the state, the state lasts half an hour, the back half an hour for burnout period, and then the spirit of fatigue out of the state will not have to clap, delicious good drink to wait on it. Before filming can give models talk about the feeling of the times, sit and play chat, hands-on demonstration, let the model into play.
