What are some tips for taking portraits with a telephoto lens?
Portrait photography is the most widely photographed subject, whether it is a novice photographer, or a photographer, there is no lack of use of telephoto lenses. Today, on how to make full use of the advantages of telephoto lenses to show portraits, to share some of the telephoto lens to shoot portraits skills.
First, the benefits of long focal lengths for portraits
Today we will introduce you to the advantages of shooting portraits with medium and long focal lengths. The choice of focal length directly affects the proportion of the subject in the picture, thus determining the visual effect of the photo. The reason for this is the ease of use. Zoom lenses can be used in situ to bring the scene being photographed closer or push it farther away, which is of course a simple way of composing a picture, but is by no means a good way to take portraits.
The benefit of using a medium telephoto lens is to take photos with less distortion, normal perspective, and easy to manipulate. Because of its small shooting angle, shallow depth of field, and for the scene has a significant compression effect, so you can deflate the cluttered scene, so that the characters are more prominent, the picture is smoother.
Second, the use of telephoto tips
The telephoto lens can bring the distant people and scenery closer, strongly compressed space, making the picture become quite concise and compact and full, defocusing the foreground and background, highlighting the main body, and in the perspective effect is significantly weakened on the basis of obtaining the scenery superimposed on each other's aesthetics.
1, the benefits of 85 lens:
It is well known that the 85mm lens is a portrait lens, fixed focal length head. Large aperture, good light throughput, oily and soft image quality. Very suitable for shooting bust portraits and the use of specific environments. When shooting close-ups, the 85mm lens is characterized by no distortion compared to standard lenses or wide-angle lenses, making it ideal for close-up depictions of emotions. Compared to longer focal length lenses, 85 is closer to the perspective of the natural human eye, not to compress the environment into a background plate.
2, 85mm vs. 50mm, 35mm:
The 85 combines a large aperture to highlight the subject, as well as taking portraits without distortion. Compared to 50 and 35, its background bokeh is more obvious, and as a portrait head, there is a certain optimization of the character skin color, especially in bad weather when the color performance is better than 50 or 35 lens. But the performance of the environment is not as rich as 50 or 30.
Third, telephoto framing techniques
Telephoto framing still follow several compositional rules, such as three-point composition, diagonal composition, tic-tac-toe composition, etc., in addition to the telephoto's unique sense of compression is easier to capture the use of the foreground. In the city shooting, telephoto for the depth of capture has its advantages, such as tunnels, passages, bridge piers, street lamps and so on is particularly suitable for telephoto play. And in the field, to bring the long-distance scenery closer to the model behind, telephoto is also a good choice.
Fourth, how to fill light on the model in the telephoto
Telephoto fill light should pay attention to the light ratio with the environment, for example, in the mountains and fields between the wedding shoot, the wedding dress would have been easy to overexposure, then fill light to try to be as soft as possible, so as not to be abrupt, not because of the artificial light ratio of the infiltration of the main body and the background to split apart. When necessary, you can use the hot shoe flash for the model's face with a slight output value for fill light.
