Here's how to take a good landscape portrait:

1. Choose a good scene, the scene is a key point to set off the atmosphere, and whether the scene is clean or not can directly lead to the effect of the film after us. Try to be as single as possible. For beginners, it is difficult to control the color in the picture, we say that whether it is color or element, try to be as single as possible.

Including the color of the character's clothing, try to use some softer colors, and the production rate will be higher.

2. Correct**, no matter what the shooting equipment in your hand is in the dress, correct ** is particularly important for shooting portraits. If the picture is too bright or too dark, it is not correct**, and there are no details in the bright or dark places, and it is not durable. And the picture will be too bright.

Entry-level composition, center composition and three-point composition can help us shoot a perfect set, and other composition skills can be slowly applied to the actual shooting of the sock stove.
