From a purely photographic point of view, these two pictures do have some shortcomings.
When we take pictures, we should do the following:
1. What is the shooting theme?
2. What theme is used to embody this theme?
3. In order to achieve this theme, how to organize the picture elements?
Let's comment on these two photos from these three aspects.
1. What is the shooting theme?
In the picture in Figure 1, the model is wearing a cheongsam, and then the surrounding environment is a part of an old historical building with China characteristics, and there are couplets on both sides of the door frame. Therefore, its theme is to show a cheongsam show combining history and modernity through the traditional costumes of models and the architectural environment with a strong sense of historical times, so as to reflect the popularity of "Chinese style"
The picture in Figure 2, to be honest, really can't see any obvious expression theme. In order to express the charm of cheongsam, it is almost completely obscured, only a little more projection is added in the mirror, but it is seriously intercepted by the composition and incomplete; It is said to reflect the performance of the characters, but only the body structure on the left side of the characters is seen, and the face is purely lateral, which can't explain anything, so it is difficult to see what the theme of the works is to express.
2. What theme is used to embody this theme?
In Figure 2, because the expression of the theme is not very clear, it is necessary to optimize the position and shooting angle of the model in order to reflect the subject. For example, let the model's recliner be arranged at an angle of 45 with the wall, and at the same time consider including the projection of the person in the mirror in the picture to form a composition ratio of far and near, which will enrich the picture. The shooting angle forms an angle of 30-60 with the model, slightly closer, shooting from top to bottom, so that the complete state of the cheongsam can be photographed. In addition, the background is a bit messy, especially the large white wallpaper in the background is particularly conspicuous. Try to avoid or be as vague as possible.
3. In order to achieve this theme, how to organize the picture elements?
This is related to the framing and composition of the picture.
In figure 1, besides combining the lower part of the cheongsam with the legs of the model more closely, it is suggested that the couplets on the wall should also be photographed completely, so as to obtain the complete embodiment of "Chinese style" and make the viewer's experience more perfect and profound.
In Figure 2, the framing content of the background is more concise and clean, and the best effect can be found by changing the shooting angle and position of the scene. In addition, the matching of cheongsam and model should be more compact, because the cutting and style of cheongsam are very different from other costumes, and there is an unstoppable tension in nobility, atmosphere and gentleness, so the matching of cheongsam and model should be more intimate to fully express these characteristics.
A little portrait shooting skill every day, and take photos of Dont Ask For Help!
Welcome to Image Hong Chen Class!
I'm glad to answer your question. Below I will answer in the form of video, hoping to help you.
Is it right to shoot in cheongsam like this?
On this issue, my personal view is correct. Cheongsam was very popular in the 1920s and even in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is one of the symbols of China culture and a colorful image in China's long history. As far as cheongsam itself is concerned, it is very beautiful and exquisite. Wear it, the figure shows incisively and vividly, graceful and absolutely beautiful.
Back to this topic, it is also appropriate for a woman wearing cheongsam to appear in this environment, dating back to the Republic of China in the1920s. The environment is suitable and the shooting angle is no problem, especially the faces of the two girls are in place and beautiful. How elegant it looks.
Share here, to be honest, there is really nothing to say, (too much water) forgive me [pray] [pray]
Personal hobbies, as long as you have a good figure, you can look good when you take pictures. Although I like wearing cheongsam best, I feel everything is fine.
From the photos themselves, with the full cooperation of the models, these photos are in line with the otaku's aesthetics, but the connotation of cheongsam is contrary to China's traditional aesthetics, which is immoral.
There is nothing wrong with shooting like this, depending on the theme you shoot. The style of cheongsam is noble, generous and elegant, and it is not suitable to show your thighs. If you shoot a prostitute, that's the point.
The winding path is quiet and the moonlight is hazy.
The color of the mountain shadow is gray;
But lovesickness is silent,
Leaning against the door, I am looking forward to my return.
Personally, I think that this picture of a beautiful woman in cheongsam shows a rouge story from the past of the Republic of China. Looking at the gorgeous cheongsam and the bitterness in the beauty's eyes, I can't help but think of twelve girls as relatives. Even if I become a female ghost, I can't forget that lingering love story. There is no doubt that it is a good idea to photograph the beauty of cheongsam.
Love cheongsam and love you.
Dressed in elegant cheongsam
Slowly, you came into my heart.
The wind shook willows and lotus flowers.
Hire Tingting to be independent.
At that moment, the breeze was silent and the willows were speechless.
My eyes are full of you.
I fell in love with cheongsam. I fell in love with you.
Also fell in love with the body wrapped in cheongsam
You look back, the spring is about to drip.
Smile is full of drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River.
Like a fairy in a greasy green field
When I was in bloom, I was graceful.
Maybe you are a rural girl from northern Shan Ye.
Or you are a little jasper in Jiangnan.
Having this cheongsam adds color to your figure.
You are the most enviable beauty in my heart.
(The picture is selected from the questioner's picture)
Personally, it looks good, soft and classical.
A: I won't comment on whether the two pictures were taken correctly/well.
My opinion:
1. Cheongsam is a part of China culture and should be respected/inherited by future generations.
2. It is suggested that our beautiful women should dress appropriately. The conventional way of dressing is to expose the left and right sides of the legs, reflecting the beauty of oriental women.
3. Our photography art is to inherit and carry forward China culture (my photography idea).
Cheongsam in the style of the Republic of China is a very good and popular theme. I also took a commercial photo of cheongsam for four years and found a similarity. Customers are basically women over 30 years old, and the oldest is over 80 years old. Young women can't capture the charm of cheongsam.
Indeed, mature women can really control cheongsam. A good cheongsam photo is not only a beautiful picture of a person, but also the books she has read, the roads she has traveled, the people she has loved and the things she has experienced.
When I shoot, I will play the music of old Shanghai, substitute people into that most beautiful era and find the feeling of the Republic of China.
These two photos, the first environmental portrait, have a good posture and the model has a certain expressive force, but the couplets on both sides of the door are too dramatic, so it would be better to remove some points later.
Second, the mirror is a good prop, but it is not reflected in the photo. The mirror is too messy, and it will be dimmed in the future. You can focus on the portrait in the mirror, the model will be the foreground, and the effect will be better.
