Multi-person photography multi-person photo shooting skills

1 First of all, we need to know that the timely theme of "focusing" is the same as the far and near objects of the camera, and their focusing distance is the same, so if two people in the photo are side by side, we only need to focus on one of them. But if it is arranged in two or three rows, we should focus on the first row in the middle. If there are more than four rows of photos, then focus on the second row. The first point is that according to the characteristics of depth of field, the depth of field in the back is generally greater than that in the foreground, so it is very scientific to focus on the first row. Second, generally speaking, the first row are all important people, such as directors, leaders, principals, etc. It's best to make sure that the focus falls on them. For a group photo like this, our focus should be on the second row.

2. Focus on the second row in the middle, covering the depth of field. In fact, the size of the aperture will affect the depth of field. So, if there are many lines in a big photo, our aperture will be reduced. The more front and rear rows, the smaller the aperture will be. Generally, f/5.6 and below f/8 are used to ensure the depth of field. Unless a super wide-angle lens is used, the influence of aperture on the depth of field will be relatively small. If the light is poor, in order to ensure sufficient depth of field, you have to sacrifice your shutter speed, but generally it cannot be lower than 1/8 seconds.

3. If shooting outdoors, the best weather is cloudy, because the light on cloudy days is soft and will not have a great impact on the face. There are two options. One is backlighting. When shooting in reverse light, people's faces should be measured to ensure accurate face exposure. If there is a big flash to fill the light, the effect will be better. Don't shoot in the shade, or you will blush.

4. Most photos are suggested to be shot as low as possible, because low-sensitivity imaging is delicate. However, with the development of camera technology, there is no difference in noise control between ISO sensitivity 100 and 400 of many cameras, so I suggest using a higher one, because it can ensure a higher shutter speed and prevent camera shake or subject shake.

5. When taking large-scale group photos, tables and chairs can be arranged in a queue, which can make the front and rear rows more compact, thus making more effective use of the depth of field and taking better photos, mainly to take more hierarchical photos and avoid the front row blocking the back row. Taking a group photo is very important. If you take a group photo of more than 100 people, it is best to put the tables and chairs into an arc with the camera as the axis, because the clearest focal plane of the lens is on the arc with the lens focal length as the radius. Therefore, if you use the arc team to shoot, there will be no unclear characters on both sides of the group photo, thus ensuring that the characters in the middle and on both sides are equally clear.

6. After the photo film is developed and scanned by the negative scanner, it is digitally produced. You can choose the best effect, re-cut the composition, adjust the color and density. If there are individuals who close their eyes, you can change the eyes of those who close their eyes in other group photos. That's why we need to take more photos. After processing the photo, add the corresponding text description.
