PHOTOGRAPHY TRICK

The following tips can also be used as a guide for your model photos to look perfect when photographed:

Facing to the right

A U.S. study conducted by Wake Forest University found that the left side of the face is more attractive than the right. Apparently, the left side shows a lot more emotion. So, to get a picture perfect face, menolehlah slightly to the right to show the "best" you. It also can help give the illusion of a slimmer face for those who have a round face.

Choose makeup carefully

For the perfect performance-ready photo, make sure you avoid bouncing or foundations that made mineral containing titanium dioxide (pigment reflective) in high numbers. Although the foundation for glowing appearance everyday, camera flash can quickly change your dewy skin becomes pale as a ghost when white light bouncing back from the camera.

Highlight your best features

To look glamorous in the photo, make sure you confirm your favorite features to make it stand out in the photo. Try playing with eyeliner or false eyelashes. Or, slumbering lips with brightly colored lipstick. Do not forget, highlight the best shape of your body with clothing that supports the body's shape and color.

Do not look into the lens

No one wanted her eyes look red or half closed as it will damage the image, so make sure you avoid this by focusing the eyes slightly up or down the lens. Look directly into the lens can cause light illuminates the retina, which can make the effects of red-eye or red eye. Looking slightly away from the camera will also reduce the risk for half the flash when photographed.

Avoid red eye photo

Your eyes can appear red because of the reflection of light from the back of the eye. You have large pupils are more prone to get the problem. If you look away from the camera does not work, another way to reduce red-eye effect is make sure the photo was taken in a well lit room or see a bright light just before the shooting to make pupilmu shrink.

Avoid appears to have chins

There is nothing worse than to see a picture of you with chins. But unfortunately this often happens to us. To avoid the appearance of chins in the photo, make sure the camera is above or at eye level. And also try to highlight a slight cock of the head and a bit of jaw - you might have to train it first in front of the mirror to still look natural!

Avoid direct light

Maybe we can not always be set up lighting for photo shoots and, unless you happen to be a professional model, most likely you will not be helped by someone to make sure the right light in the shooting. However, it is important to remember that direct light from above can cause shadows on the face and accentuate shadows under the eyes. Choose a place with soft lighting or shade when outdoors.

Posing like a pro

If you're posing for a photo on the whole body, try a classic style celebrity by turning your body three quarters of the camera, with one shoulder closer to the camera and one foot in front of the other. This will make your body look slimmer than if you're facing the camera directly. Try to keep your back straight with your shoulders back and hold to the back of the abdomen (but not too bloated as it might seem far-fetched).

Master the perfect smile

Many of us focus on the mouth when smiling, but, to borrow a phrase from supermodel Tyra Banks, the most important is "smize or smiling with your eyes (smile with your eyes). Rather than forcing a smile, think of something that makes you happy to get a smile more natural. You also might want to enhance your smile itself in order to highlight your strong suit. example, radiant smile will look very good for people with immaculate teeth, while a more relaxed half-smile will make small eyes appear larger and fuller looking lips.

Practice posemu

If you really want perfect pictures, the best thing you can do is to practice first. Practice facial expressions and body angle, smile and different facial expressions to find what can make you look stunning, both in front of the mirror or the camera itself. Once you find the look you like, you're ready to use it andalanmu pose in every photo opportunity, make sure you always look perfect.

50mm Lens : Lens with a focal length of 50mm is popular among photographers for viewing in its focus area is roughly equal to what you see with your own eyes. There is no distortion (curvature resulting from the photos due to the curvature of the lens) such as ultra wide lens and no compression as a telephoto lens. Therefore, a 50mm lens should not be regarded as an "honest" or the image produced by the lens looks similar to what is seen by the eye.

Bokeh comes from the Japanese word boke (ボケ) which means blur (blurred). Bokeh is a subtle blur effect or soft focus in the background when photographing an object (the main focus sharply on objects as its background blur or become blurred).

Here are tips to get bokeh photo with DSLR camera:

Use Aperture Priority mode (Av) or Manual mode (M) to select the desired aperture.

Choose the settings of the largest aperture of the lens (figure f / x the smallest, the smaller the number of f / x the aperture the greater).

Note the distance between the camera and the object image. The closer the camera is to the object of his photos then the background blur (bokeh).

Choose a focal length lengsa the longest. With the longest focal length to separate the object image with its background. Example: when you use a 55-250mm zoom lens, focal length 250mm choose to get better bokeh.

Use the prime lens (prime lens or fixed lens). Prime lens is a lens with a single focal length lens with no zoom alias that can produce a sharper picture and better its optical quality of the lens zoom. Prime lenses usually have a larger aperture that is used to produce good bokeh (eg 50mm f/1.8 lens).

At the time of first entering the world of DSLR cameras, one of the confusing aspects is to translate the codes listed in the label of a lens. In this article will explain several kinds of lenses and codes contained in the lens. For his case I will use Canon lenses.

- Canon EF-S 18-55  f/3.5-5.6  IS



If you find a lens with a minimum aperture is only one set, like f/2.8 lens, this means that the widest aperture lens has a fixed or unchanging. Focal length from 17mm to 55mm focal length, maximum aperture of f/2.8 fixed at a value.

USM: Abbreviation for Ultrasonic Motor, meaning the lens there is a built-in motor for auto focus. In this lens auto focus is faster and the bike is not noisy.

Setting Mode on the camera is a great option's shooting in a variety of situations found in digital cameras. Fashion professional DSLR cameras tend to focus on Manual Mode, the camera pocket (pocket) focus to Auto Mode and the camera prosumer (semi DSLR) often use variations between Manual Mode and Auto Mode. Mode option in the camera is the same on different brands only found on different symbols used.



In general the camera modes that are often found on the camera is divided into:
1. Auto mode: Auto, Portrait, Macro, Landscape, Sports / Action, Night Shoot.
2. Semi Automatic Mode: Aperture Priority, Shutter Speed ​​Priority and Program
3. Manual mode

Auto Mode
In AUTO mode the whole setting of the performed automatically by the camera's settings including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take pictures as optimal as possible.


Macro Mode
Macro mode allows a photographer to move closer to the object to take a close up picture. Macros often used for photographing, insects, flowers or other small objects / macro. When using this mode the focus will be more difficult to obtain because of the depth of field of focus (depth of field) is very narrow, it is advisable to use a tripod to focus easily obtained.


Potrait Mode
If you select Portrait mode the camera automatically choose a large aperture (small f value) to blur the background and just focus on the object. This mode is good to use for photographing a single object so as to get close to the object distance, this mode can also recognize and focus on the human face.

Landscape Mode

It could be said that the Landscape mode is the inverse of the aperture in terms of the Portrait mode is used. Landscape provides a small aperture (large f value) so that the focal plane is more extensive. At the same time the camera also choose a slower shutter speed to compensate for the small aperture. This mode is good to use to photograph scenery.

Sport Mode/Action Mode
Sport Mode / Action ideal for capturing moving objects such as athletes are exercising, pets, cars, wild animals, etc.. This mode captures moving objects by increasing shutter speed and ISO

Night Shoot Mode
Night Shoot Mode (also called slow shutter) is used to take pictures with less lighting conditions, the camera automatically switches settings to a longer shutter speed. In this mode it is advisable to use a tripod because the shutter speed will require a stable long camera to produce images that are not blurred or blur.

Shutter Priority Mode  (S atau Tv; Time value)
Shutter Priority Mode is similar to Aperture Priority mode are controlled manually only is shutter speed while the other settings of the automatically selected by the camera.


Aperture Priority Mode  (A or Av; Aperture value)
This mode provides manual control of the aperture setting and the camera will select the settings of the other automatically (ISO, speed, white balance,  etc.) to get a good exposure.


Program Mode  (P)
This mode is similar to the AUTO mode but the Program mode gives little setting manually the aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
