Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the other party had pink headphones, a backpack, a white T-shirt, khaki shorts, orange socks...a pure white suspender skirt, and the only prop missing was a straw hat.
He originally thought that there was only one Straw Hat, so he might as well forget it and just don't want the Straw Hat.
But ten seconds later, he still stood up from the chair, put on his equipment bag that had been packed long ago, picked up the car keys and walked out.
Following the map navigation, I visited three jewelry stores and finally found one that sold straw hats. I finally chose a hat with a green bow on it.
Li Shi imagined in his mind what a girl would look like after wearing it, and felt that it fit the atmosphere he wanted.
When paying the bill, the cashier clerk was a little surprised. He took a hat worn by a girl and asked with a smile: "Handsome guy, can you come alone to buy a gift for your girlfriend?"
Li Shi smiled and didn't explain anything. He scanned the QR code to pay and left.
This aunt is really true. She is not buying women's underwear. Why do you ask so much?
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Shi met Mu Xi, a part-time female model, in the Houhu Art District next to Tianma Apartment on Juzizhou Street in Lushan District.
She came with light makeup and looked lower in person.
Her skin is not that good, and her facial features are not that delicate, but overall she is a beauty that makes people feel happy to look at her.
After meeting and greeting each other politely, and after getting acquainted with each other, we started working.
The two communicated about makeup in person.
Li Shi made his request: "The T-shirt and shorts you are wearing now are enough. Then put on orange socks and sandals, and hold this straw hat..."
Mu Xi's makeup skills were very good and she finished her makeup quickly. Li Shi looked at it through the camera lens and thought it was okay, so he started looking for a scene.
When I checked out the location yesterday, I just thought this place was generally pretty good. The specific location and angle of the photo would have to be visited on site.
After a few minutes, I selected the first location and took a few photos.
Li Shi looked at the photo and couldn't help but give Mu Xi a thumbs up: "Okay, it's very expressive."
This girl is really photogenic, and the photos look much better than her in person.
Ten minutes later, Li Shi came to a small iron tower. Looking at the iron tower, Li Shi was inspired.
"You stand up, hold it with one hand, take off the straw hat and put it behind your butt."
"Don't use two feet. Stand on your right foot and keep your left foot in the air... Yes, be careful."
"Pay attention to the expression on your face, smile brighter, yes, imagine that you have encountered good things, happy things..."
"Okay, there's wind... there's wind!"
After Li Shi finished taking the photo, he didn't look at the photos. He went over to help the girl down first, and then looked at the photos.
He caught the gust of wind just now. In the photo, the model's hair was blown up by the natural wind. Combined with the sunshine on her smiling face and the blue sky, it felt like a bright summer.
…
The second place was an unknown alley near the southern suburbs park.
The girl was very cautious and did not change in the car when changing clothes. Instead, she asked Li Shi to take her to the Golden Arch Gate and used the bathroom of a fast food restaurant to change clothes.
After taking pictures at the second place, I found a restaurant for a bite, and then went to the third place - the Liuyang River.
After changing into a pure white suspender dress, Mu Xi followed Li Shi's request and put on makeup again and tied her hair into two pigtails. When the makeup was done, Li Shi was stunned.
Sure enough, makeup, beautification, PS and other magical arts can make people "reborn".
What's more, this young lady has a very good foundation.
When he arrived at the river, Li Shi found an angle at the first position and took a test shot, then adjusted the camera parameters.
I then followed what I learned and thought, composed the picture, set the exposure, focused... and took a group of photos seriously.
Because there was no one to help with lighting, Li Shi basically followed the sun when shooting.
Suddenly facing a piece of grass, he felt something again.
"Little sister, tilt your head and look up at me."
Li Shi climbed up to an angle so that the model's back was facing the sun.
"Yes, yes, well, put your hands in front of you, yes, you look so beautiful from this angle."
When communicating, he tried his best to use the shooting communication skills he had learned in some photography tutorials to make the models more expressive in front of the camera.
"The expression on the face can be less expressive and more serious."
"Yes, that's it. You are actually very beautiful when you are serious, you know that, right?"
"alright!"
After taking this photo, Li Shi suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.
He had a hunch that when the time came to choose a photo to share, he would probably choose the one he just took.
Back in the car, Li Shi couldn't wait to connect his laptop to see the effect.
"Wow!"
Model sister Mu Xi also came over wearing a thin coat and was a little surprised when she looked at the photo.
"Teacher Li, your skills are so good, and you photographed me so beautifully!"
When girls see themselves being photographed looking beautiful, there is nothing they don’t like.
She had heard Li Shi say that he had not been studying photography for a long time, and she had no expectations for this shoot. It was purely to make money, but she did not expect that there would be a surprise.
Li Shi originally thought that he had done a good job, and was even more happy to receive praise. However, he was rather melancholy, so he smiled modestly and said, "The main reason is that you are good-looking and photogenic. We worked together very well today." It’s a pleasure. I hope we can continue to cooperate next time.”
"Of course, Mr. Li, your skills are so good even before post-production. Next time, just give me the reverse film and I will be your model for free."
Mu Xi stared at the photos on the screen for a while and felt that she really liked what this photographer with whom she was working together for the first time took.
Li Shi was even more happy when she said this. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's make an appointment next time."
The anti-film was to give her a copy of the final film.
This is of course no problem.
In fact, in the portrait photography circle, it is very popular to arrange a shoot with each other. The two parties help each other for free, the photographer gets a free model, and the model gets a free photo shoot.
It's just that beautiful young ladies are so popular nowadays. It takes time and opportunity to find a suitable cooperative model. Li Shi is very efficient and has no time to worry about that.
After transferring money to pay, Li Shi drove to Dicos. The female model went to the bathroom to change clothes, and then sent her to a nearby subway station.
When I returned to my residence, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
After ordering a takeaway, Li Shi started working on the post-production process while waiting.
Some people say that the birth of a perfect photograph must go through three complete processes: shooting, post-production, and output.
In today’s Internet age, output is no longer common.
But later it was taken to a new level.
The later stages are grueling.
Li Shi enjoyed shooting during the day, but it was not until the later stages that he felt the pain of photography.
After sitting in front of the computer for several hours, I put down the mouse and looked at my work, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, he felt something in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and quickly called out the learning panel.
