How to take photos of graduation photo? There are 38 samples collected here!
I believe many friends have seen the selfie of last year's trip. Everyone should have a new view on selfie. Now, a new fun selfie project has been launched: group selfie (including selfie of graduation photo). Self-timer, as its name implies, is mainly used by users who want to shoot their own images when using shooting tools such as digital cameras and mobile phones alone. Group selfie refers to a person in a group shooting a group image with a digital camera, mobile phone and other shooting tools.

What should graduation photo do before filming?
Tell you one by one:
1, confirm the time.
Many senior three students are practicing in the last semester, so it is necessary to determine the shooting time in advance. In addition, summer begins in May and June, and it is quite hot. Therefore, I suggest that senior students shoot in autumn and winter in the first semester, except for those approved by the bachelor's uniform. First, the weather is cool and suitable for outdoor shooting. Second, the weather is too hot to make up. Third, everyone is in school, which is crowded. Fourth, there are more patterns in autumn and winter clothes, and the shooting effect will be cooler than monotonous T-shirts or shirts. Suggest shooting at 13 pm. 13 o'clock to 16 o'clock, the sunshine is fierce, which is suitable for indoor shooting, such as libraries and classrooms. /kloc-after 0/6 o'clock, the sun began to soften and began to shoot outdoors, such as playgrounds and school roads.

2. Make up the number of people.
As the saying goes, it is better for a person to play with others, and a person's pretend graduation notes are struck by lightning. Therefore, to pretend to be together, it's quite frustrating to think of a person filming graduation photo for multiple exposures. It is better to invite a few buddies who share wine when they are lovelorn and sisters who chat with the whole class when they are bored. Number 8~ 10. Too few people don't like graduation photo, and too many people are out of control.

3. Clothing accessories.
There are no hard and fast rules about clothes, but I have a soft suggestion: clothes should be uniform. The normal combination is white shirt+black pants+black shoes, and the maverick is a full set of basketball clothes, dinosaur pajamas and beautiful girl warrior clothes. If you can't unify all the clothes, you can choose clothes that everyone owns, such as sports shoes and sneakers. Colors also need to be communicated in advance. My graduation photo randomly chose a white T-shirt+dark pants/pants+shoes, which is white in the same color, making people clear at a glance.
There are many accessories, such as bachelor hat, tie, bow tie, red scarf, sunglasses (sharp weapon) and so on. You can buy some monster masks for funny people.

4. Equipment.
(1) SLR+lens: The SLR body I use is Canon 5DMARK III, and the lenses are Canon E 16 ~ 35mm f/2.8L II and Canon E24 ~ 70mm f/2.8LII, with a super wide angle and a zoom portrait king, which is enough for self-portrait graduation photo.
(2) tripod: FotoproMGC-684N+T7 professional carbon fiber tripod, ultra-portable ultra-stable outdoor SLR camera tripod.
(3) Wireless shutter remote controller: It should be noted that wireless shutter remote controllers with different camera configurations are inconsistent, so you need to know clearly before buying.
5. Choose a point
Choosing a good location before shooting can save everyone's time, pick a place with school architectural characteristics and great commemorative significance, and make relevant fixed points in advance. This is the map we took that day. It is often more efficient to be prepared.
6. Make up.
I very much agree that all girls who shoot graduation photo should wear makeup, which is really beautiful, and secondly, it can relieve the pressure of photographers in the later period. Boys can also wear a faint BB cream unless you are really born with beauty.
7. reading volume.
This is very important, which is the key to how to make the work tall. No one is a natural model, so no one is a natural photographer to learn the movements inside. You can go to the scene according to the position inside. Where to find movies, give you a shortcut, search posters and stills of American dramas, album covers and photos of Japanese and Korean groups, and photos of groomsmen and bridesmaids in wedding shooting can all be your inspiration for shooting graduation photo.

1, the shooting method of American drama stills.
F 10,16mm,1160s, ISO 100.
There are many stills in American TV series that put characters at the bottom of the picture and then put on various actions. The creative inspiration also comes from a group of humanistic documentaries with the theme of post-90 s in Tibet, which I shot in August 20 14 in Tibet.
If there are lovers among the students, you can suggest them to hug or kiss to add interest to the picture, just like students No.8 and No.9 in the picture. Don't be afraid of single dog. There is a collection of single dog's actions: 1 No.2 student pretends to be filming us, No.2 student looks at the camera to grab the camera (trying), No.3 student looks at the distance, No.4 student looks at her left front, No.5 student looks at her left front with her back to the camera, No.6 student looks at her right front, No.7 is me, pretending to be walking.
Before taking a selfie, the person in charge of shooting must determine the position and action of others. Never overlap, it will be messy.
And a selfie reminder. Leave a space for yourself, like the picture below, and stop in it.
____________________________
F6F6.33,27mm,1125s, ISO 1250.
Let's analyze graduation photo's action again: 1 is poor, or this posture. No.2 looked at the camera affectionately, No.3 kept pretending to look at the distance, No.4 looked at the camera with his hands hanging down, No.5 was me, and I put one hand in his pants pocket and looked back at the camera. No.6 crossed his hands, No.7 looked sideways at the camera, No.8 moved symmetrically with 1, and No.9 hung his hands.
Is it difficult? The key is to set an example, and holding your head high is king.
2. It is bound to jump.
F 10,16mm,1/200s, ISO 100.
Jumping is also skillful. The jumping angle of shooting is usually backhand and flat shot. The following tidbits record the picture when shooting flat.
The effect is this:
The visual impact of flat shot is not strong enough. After taking this photo, I think I can try to shoot it backwards, just put my mobile phone or other items under the lens.
The combination of backhand and super wide angle makes the space more compressed and has more visual impact.
Tip: It is best to choose a simple and empty place to jump up, and the picture is clean and generous.

Step 3 simulate the scene
This is the highlight of graduation photo. Before shooting, it is recommended to think about what scenes and pictures to shoot. After arriving at the scene, the students in charge of photography should arrange who should sit there and who should do what there.
(1) Various classes.
F4.5，35mm， 1/80s，ISO 2500
College classes are very interesting. There are students who concentrate on class, and there are also many students who are doing all kinds of things. I think I prefer the latter. At that time, 1 and classmate No.2 were arranged to continue flirting. On the 3rd, they skipped class and left. On the 4th, they slept on the desktop openly. On the 5th, they were in a daze. On the 6th, they played with their mobile phones in class. On the 7th, they pretended that they couldn't do that question. On the 9th, they really played with their mobile phones!
(2) The convenience store behind physical education class.
F4F4.55,27mm,1125s, ISO500.
Usually, after physical education class, everyone goes to the convenience store to buy water and drink, and chat while drinking, which is very happy. At that time, I suggested that girls sit under umbrellas and chat, while boys take drinks from the door of convenience stores, talking and laughing. The most important thing is that we need to say something that will make everyone laugh together. After thinking about it, press the shutter immediately. In this scene, there is a big difference between laughing and not laughing. You can make up for it yourself. Therefore, if a photographer is not good, he must be able to shoot and dispatch on the spot to make everyone happy.
(3) Library self-study.
F5.6,24mm,1125s, ISO200.
Pick two empty tables, if there are nine people, there will be four tables. The extra one will stand up and look at it, which is classmate No.7. Although the action is impressive, throwing it out will applaud her acting skills. Boys can imitate students 1, 4, 5, and lean back cross-legged on the stool, while other students are reading carefully.
(4) 1000m exam.
F 10/0,25mm,1/200s, ISO 100.
Every time physical education class 1000m exam, there will always be people who steal away and the teacher doesn't catch them. Before the game, the people next door always told me that you shouldn't run too fast. As a result, you started running and rushed out like an arrow. Finally, everyone turned quietly and ran for half a lap with a smaller diameter.
When shooting, I called start and everyone rushed out together. At that moment, I immediately pressed the wireless shutter remote control in my hand and took some photos of continuous shooting, among which there would be very interesting pictures. This kind of picture usually needs to be shot many times, so be prepared psychologically.
4. Clever use of silhouette
ISO 400 F9, 33mm,1160s.
When taking a silhouette, the body movements should be obvious enough, and the separation of legs, arms and body should be obvious, otherwise it will become a mass of black.
You can pay attention to the difference between the two. I have carefully sorted out the difference between the two for you. Let's find fault together.
5. Big environment and small theme
F 10/0,26 mm, 1/200 seconds, ISO 125.
I especially like this style. You can often find this kind of shadow in my works. When taking this photo, the camera was really a little far away from people, right on this ladder.
Just like the gap between several students in the picture, it looks like a group. In addition, the movements should be exaggerated and the body should be stretched. People are small, and it will be dull if you don't do something eye-catching.
Step 6 use a light source
F2.8,16mm,1/80s, ISO 2000.
The arrival of the night will have an impact on the selfie without external lights, but you can make use of the surrounding lighting resources, such as car lights. Driving behind the figure, the two students sitting in the middle are responsible for completely blocking two headlights and a silhouette light. Everyone on both sides can take a side shot of half a small face.
7. Pictographic commemoration
F 10/0,20mm, ISO 100
The abbreviation of our school is DGUT. Due to the limited number of students, the nine of us can only arrange our seats in this way.
Of course, you can also try overhead shooting. Everyone is lying on the ground. Nine people discharged D first, then G, then U and T, and finally spliced DGUT. Just like this UM pictogram I took for my friends at the University of Macau last year (University of Macau).
F13,47mm,1125s, ISO 1600.
8. Good at composition
F2.8,47mm,1125s, ISO 200.
Composition is the basis of photography language, and composition is very important for the quality of photos. This photo was taken in the library of our school. Two floors of glass and handrails form a V-shaped symmetrical composition.
When shooting, let a classmate stand up and measure the light to see the effect.
Then the position of the person is designed to be triangular symmetry, and the shooting can be easily completed.
With a good composition as the foundation, no matter how you pose, you can make one or two good films.
F2.8,47mm,1125s, ISO200.
F6.3，35mm， 1/ 125s，ISO 1250
This story is strong, and it is simulating the scene of class ending. 1 and lover No.2 are still holding hands with their left hands, and classmate No.3, No.4, No.5 and No.6 have been playing passers-by for many years. The highlight is the chase between No.7 and No.8, and the action is exaggerated and funny. No.9 pointed at them from a distance.
The addition of interest makes this photo particularly interesting, but the fundamental point is that the composition of this photo is interesting. There are two kinds of composition, one is convergent line composition and the other is triangular composition. The combination of the two will guide the reader to look at the picture in a convergent direction, and then his eyes will return to the composition of the character triangle.
Composite composition can increase the readability of the picture. Think about whether you can try a variety of compositions when shooting, but it is difficult.
When choosing points, we should take into account the composition, and at the same time, we need to do a good job of standing among students.
Later chapters
The later period is all-encompassing. Today, I will introduce you to three simple and rude but very common and useful later methods: combination splicing, creative flipping and face changing. Photo color matching, peeling treatment, and more tutorials revealed later will all appear in my self-portrait tutorial book to be published this year.
1, combined splicing
F9,16mm,1/200s, ISO 400.
This is a mosaic of three pictures, which is very compact and has a strong sense of form. In addition, the inconsistency of actions enriches the content of the picture, which is simply fun and cool. Let's look at three original pictures.
If the content of the picture is not cropped, many redundant elements will be left in the picture, which seems to lose a kind of relevance and compactness.
Late method
Step 1: intercept required.
Import three pictures into photoshop respectively, click the cropping tool, select Unconstrained, and frame the cropped border around the characters.
Enter to confirm the clipping. In the same way, two other cropped photos were obtained.
Step 2: Pull the canvas.
Click New on the File menu to create a new canvas and drag three pictures into it.
Drag and drop the three together.
2, creative flip
F 10/0,70mm,1125s, ISO 200.
The people in the picture are all imaginary, because they are all reflections of people in the water. At that time, the shooting environment was very chaotic, and I didn't consider intercepting the real part to see the original picture.
It would be great if there is a clean sky behind people, but the reality is always cruel, with trees, signs, billboards and stones and other miscellaneous things. I looked at it carefully, but the reflection picture in the water was extremely clean, so I only thought about the reflection part in the picture.
Late method
Step 1: required for interception.
Import the photo into photoshop, click the cropping tool, select "16X9", and frame the cropped border around the figure.
Enter to confirm the clipping.
Step 2: Flip vertically.
Copy the layer. Command /Control+T, right-click and select "Flip vertically".
The result will be the following finished product.
F 10/0,70mm,1125s, ISO200.
This photo is quite eye-catching, but in order to make this photo more intriguing, I decided to flip it vertically again.
Step 3: flip the splicing.
Click Crop Tool to expand the upper canvas so that the upper and lower canvases are symmetrical.
Enter to confirm the clipping. Copy the layer, click the layer, right click, select "Flip vertically", drag the photo onto the blank canvas, and cut off the upper and lower redundant parts.
By the same token, we can create more similar works according to this gameplay.
3. Change your face.
ISO 400 F9, 26 mm, 1/320 seconds
After all, graduation photo is a group photo, and there is no guarantee that everyone will be in the best condition at the moment when the shutter is pressed. Most people have a good facial expression when shooting, but what if one or two of them close their eyes or shoot with a bad expression? I don't want to give up the whole photo because of these two people. Don't worry, just change his/her face.
Let's take a look at the original picture.
The third girl on the left ran without slowing down.
I like this running picture very much, and I have a feeling of youth and publicity. It is impossible to remove this picture for this reason, so I naturally thought of changing my face.
Late method
Step 1: Select materials.
In addition to that photo, you need to choose another photo as the material.
The classmate's expression in this photo is in place. Let's zoom in.
It is easy to do with this material. I suggest that you try not to delete some ugly photos when shooting, and then decide whether to delete them after importing them into the computer. First, you can have absolutely many materials to ensure yourself. Second, you may find many funny and interesting pictures in it. Saving them is a memory.
Step 2: Lasso face.
Click the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select the face ring.
Enter, right-click, feather 3 pixels and copy the layer.
I implore my classmates not to kill me! I can only help her find a boyfriend in return.
Step 3: splicing adjustment.
Import the layer into the originally selected photo.
Through liquefaction, dragging, perspective and deformation, the face is consistent with the original image.
This completes the process of changing face and face.
