Portraits Shoot

Some time ago, I followed photographer Han Yang to learn about the methods and techniques of portrait photography. During the learning process, she showed me about the use of camera functions, the correct composition when taking portraits, how to expose properly and other techniques. I also learned how to use lighting in the studio to achieve the lighting effect I wanted, and how to use flash and reflector to fill light on people's faces when shooting outdoors. It was a new experiment for me, before that I was shooting out of hobby, and the photos I took were not as good as I expected, especially when I got interested in fashion photography, I found that all these contents she gave me were very necessary and I benefited a lot. Another interesting thing that happened during the learning process was that Han Yang told me that I needed to practice more in order to take better photos. She told me I could go to the streets of England and ask passersby if they could be my subjects. But I'm a very introverted person and I'm very afraid of interacting with strangers, especially when it comes to offending people like this. When I was at a loss, I saw someone's post on a Chinese social media app asking for a photo shoot. I realized that I could post on social media that I was willing to take pictures for free and that the pictures would only be used as homework and would not be uploaded elsewhere. So I posted this message and soon received many replies saying they could help me with my assignment. I was very happy because in this way, I photographed about 30 people, met many new friends, my ability to communicate with people was enhanced, and my portrait shooting skills were greatly improved, which helped me a lot in my fashion photography later.
