The mobile phone has become a personal belonging that we can't live without. We use cell phones to pat live photos and records around us. Everyone has already been handy, but using cell phones to shoot creative portraits, few people want to try in the past. It also includes Lu Mingjun.
I never thought of using a mobile phone to shoot portraits. I feel that the color and texture of a full-frame camera used at ordinary times is difficult to present on mobile phone photographs until an opportunity to let Lu Mingjun perform on mobile photography. Strength has changed. Not long ago, Lu Mingjun was fortunate to be selected to participate in the Face of Art Huawei Portrait Art Competition and was given the opportunity to borrow the latest Huawei P10 phone for portrait creation. After a month of thinking and making real shots, Lu Mingjun had a new experience of using mobile phones to photograph fashion portraits.
Each camera has its own advantages and disadvantages. How to make good use of the advantages of the equipment and avoid the shortcomings of the equipment. Then combine the camera's personality with its own style to achieve the desired picture. This is the primary consideration for Lu Mingjun before taking photos with new equipment each time.
Huawei HUAWEI P10 Full Netcom 4GB+64GB Blackstone Mobile Unicom Telecom 4G Phone Dual SIM Dual Stand 3788 Yuan Jingdong Direct Link Regarding the protagonist of this shooting, Huawei's latest fashion flagship P10 mobile phone, known as the "Portrait Photographer", we also analyzed from the perspective of portrait shooting:
Huawei P10 Mobile Phone Portrait (PROS)
The P10's compact and lightweight mobile phone eliminates the need for a clunky camera between the model and the photographer. The model can directly see the photographer's expression and eye feedback. The shooting process is as smooth as a face-to-face chat.
Full manual shooting mode, P10 built-in professional shooting mode can achieve manual control of shutter speed, ISO speed, white balance (accurate to the color temperature K value) and focus distance, to achieve the level of professional camera operator convenience;
Equipped with two Leica lenses, the imaging is remarkable, the portrait skin color of the picture is pleased, the transition of the tone is rich, the corner resolution is almost the same as the center, and it is worthy of the legendary lens name SUMMARIT;
Fast focus, thanks to the built-in compact 1/2.8-inch sensor, brings a large depth of field, rapid focus, realizing that playing, almost no SLR camera coke concerns;
OIS optical image stabilization, even if the image captured by hand in 1/8 seconds will be very clear, you can rest assured with a slow shutter speed, do not worry about image blur caused by hand shake;
RAW output, leaving more room for post-processing adjustments.
Photo Tips for Taking Portraits with P10 Mobile Phones (CONS)
The focal length, P10's lens equivalent to 135 camera's equivalent focal length is about equal to 27mm, this focal length is very suitable for shooting environment portrait, but for the portrait close-up shooting is a bit too wide, close to the beat will produce perspective deformation, then you need to open Leica portrait photography mode, you can get a suitable focal length to shoot portraits;
Bokeh, due to the limitations of the mobile phone's compact sensor, the shallow depth of field is difficult to shoot directly when shooting portraits. In this case, simply switch the P10 to the Leica portrait mode to obtain the shallow depth of field calculations in the machine. In addition, Lu Mingjun will introduce the idea of ​​using virtual foreground to shoot fantastic bokeh effects.
Huawei P10 Mobile Phone and Leica R8 SLR Camera
When we understand that the Huawei P10 has such a powerful portrait shooting function, photography can no longer be an "art of spending money," but it can be simpler. Photography is the art of running out!
Next, Lu Mingjun shares ideas with several people on mobile phones. (All photos below are taken in the living room of about 30 square meters)
Idea 1: Less is more
"Time is not far" photography: Lu Ming lumiere
Idea: Simplify the background and highlight the subject. One of the difficulties in making portraits with mobile phones is how to highlight people from the background. When we use SLR or micro-single portraits, using the shallow depth of field of the large aperture lens can blur out the messy background, so as to emphasize the effect of the characters. It is very difficult to do this with a mobile phone, so you can only think further about how to arrange the background in an orderly manner, echo it with the subject, or choose the background that is as simple as possible. Backlit high-profile portraits are the ones that can be easily achieved in most environments, and can effectively highlight people.
Shooting points:
Place 200x150cm soft light board in the doorway into the light when the background softens the outdoor sunlight, creating a high-profile backlight effect;
Use a 60W LED lamp with a 22-inch radome to illuminate the model's face for good skin texture and levels.

Idea 2: The abstract mood
Idea: From simple to extremely simple. This is an enhanced version of the first idea, which not only simplifies the background, but also simplifies the outline of the subject. Since the photos taken by the mobile phone are not as detailed as the pixels on the 35-50 million professional cameras, we can take some pictures that do not need to see the details, can we bypass the lack of details, and further zoom in on the camera phone What is the distance between you and a professional camera?
Shooting points:
Place 200x150cm soft light board in the doorway into the light when the background, soften the outdoor sunlight;
Between the model and the lens, close to the model's position, hang a layer of matte PVC or sulphuric acid paper about 150X150cm. The virtual and solid contours are controlled by adjusting the distance between the model and the matte material.

Idea 3: Fill Pattern
Idea: Add background or foreground textures to make the picture more interesting. According to the Gestalt Psychology theory, people will understand similar elements in the picture as a whole. Therefore, the approximate texture element in the photo can be understood as a concise white color. We can use this psychological feature to bring some scenes or stories into the photo with similar texture elements without interfering with the subject's presentation.
Shooting points:
Hang a layer of sequin fabric about 150X150cm as background to create a star-like atmosphere;
60W LED lamp + standard cover + ROSCO R72 Azure Blue color temperature plate + 80x80cm square soft box illuminate the background;
Use 60W LED lights with 22-inch radome to illuminate the model's face and part of the background.

Shooting points:
Between the model and the camera, add a layer of transparent PVC sprayed with water droplets to create a scene similar to rain;
60W LED lights illuminate models with reflective umbrellas;
60W LED light + standard cover + ROSCO R45 Rose color temperature film as a model contour light, while increasing the permeability of water droplets.

Idea 4: Dream Prospects
Idea: Render a dreamy atmosphere by blurring the foreground. Due to the design of mobile phone sensor and lens, it is impossible to directly obtain a blurred background when shooting portraits, but this does not affect the effect of foreground blur. Transparent objects close to the phone's lens still produce a nice looking blur effect.
Shooting points:
Use a transparent PVC film (or other transparent medium that is sprayed with water droplets, and Lu Mingjun uses a mobile phone film) to place the lens of the mobile phone tightly.
Use 2 ç› 60W LED lights, plus ROSCO R45 Rose and R72 Azure Blue color temperature film as model contour light, and direct the phone lens;
The 60W LED lights illuminate the front of the model with a 22-inch silver radome.
Lighting icon:
Shooting points: Hand-held crystal placed close to the phone lens, you can make the screen part of the effect of blurring or distortion, but also the surrounding scenery refracted into the lens, through the fine-tuning of the angle, to achieve the focus and virtual equilibrium. Since the cell phone lens has a small aperture, shooting through crystal media is more likely to produce refraction than single-lens reflex lenses, making the playing space even bigger. The following picture shows the crystal style for this shot.

Idea 5: Shaping the Light
Idea: Kick light into interesting shapes. The light in portrait photography can usually be divided into soft light and hard light. Soft light is mainly used to illuminate people or background, giving rise to soft gradients and layers. Hard light gives a shock to the screen and is often used to guide the line of sight. Visual focus. The hard light can change shape under the control of the beam attachment. The two sets of photos use the characteristic of hard light.
Shooting point: SL60W LED lamp + light shield blade, adjust the light beam thickness by adjusting the opening and closing degree of light-shielding blade.
Shooting tip: The projector (Celmi CC) projects a pattern on the back of the model. 2 ç› 60W LED light + standard cover + ROSCO R45 Rose color temperature illuminate background cloth.

Idea 6: Engraving
Idea: Record the trajectory of light through a mixture of constant light and flash. Students who have had experience in shooting night scenes in the city all know that long exposures can record the smears produced by car lights in photos. The idea of ​​this group is to apply this light smear effect to portrait creation. The difference between portrait photography and night scene shooting is that the portrait photography needs to highlight people. Therefore, it is necessary to trigger the flash during the long exposure to freeze the model's image on the screen. Fortunately, Huawei P10 phone comes with a professional shooting mode, this high-end flash photography techniques can be easily presented in the creation of mobile phone shooting.
Shooting points:
The shooting environment must be shaded to avoid shooting into the light other than the light, because long exposures can easily bring unrelated light into the picture.
Models are required to wear light-colored or reflective fabrics. Dark-colored garments absorb light easily and have a discounted effect.
Use the constant bright LED light +80x80 softbox + honeycomb grille to illuminate the model's costumes, use the honeycomb grille to limit the light exposure range, and avoid the light falling on the background or other objects to reflect and leave stray light on the screen. ;
Shooting shutter set in more than 1 second, in the process of releasing the shutter, first manually flashing AD200 flash + 22-inch radar cover freezes the model expression, and then move or shake the phone, so that the model's clothing produces light smear effect;
Since the cell phone lens does not have a physical aperture, this slow shutter method can easily cause overexposure. It is recommended to place a neutral ND in front of the lens to control the amount of light passing through. Lu Mingjun used the R98 Medium Grey in the ROCO color temperature film set to superimpose the lens in front of the camera to extend the exposure time. Because the color temperature film is very thin, it can be fixed directly with the protective shell of the mobile phone, and it is also convenient for the mobile phone to produce the optical track effect.

summary
It can be seen that using a mobile phone to shoot dreamlike portraits is not out of reach. In particular, with the strong support of the Huawei P10, a mobile phone designed for portrait shooting, only the photographer's imagination is the only factor that limits the excitement of a photo in this creative portrait shooting.
Please pay attention to the follow-up sharing of Lu Mingjun, teach you how to use low cost to create creative portraits!
