The long-sleeved skirt is a classic style in Hanfu, and it is also the most popular type of "Hanfu style" currently. I have also participated in the Hanfu Festival held by universities in Xi'an several times, and I have a certain understanding of Hanfu styles and photography. The skirt is a standard upper garment with a shorter upper skirt and a longer skirt. Because the top is called "Ru", it is combined with the long skirt to form a skirt. This combination of long and short clothing can better show off a woman's graceful figure, so it is now sought after by girls who advocate Han culture.
Xi'an, known as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, can be seen everywhere in some of the more famous ancient ruins and scenic spots. Young girls wearing Hanfu can be seen walking or taking pictures in twos and threes, which makes many tourists from other places feel like they are in another world.
The dress and movements of beauties in underskirtsI have also taken photos of many girls in Hanfu. When taking photos of this type of subject, you must first observe the matching of clothes, makeup and headwear. Not everyone has a clear understanding of the matching of Hanfu. This requires the photographer to give makeup suggestions based on his own understanding of Hanfu.
First of all, the clothes and makeup must resonate. For example, for milky white clothes, the makeup on the model's face should not be too sharp or too bright, while for some dark clothes, the makeup is too pale and looks sickly. These are all points you need to pay attention to when it comes to makeup. The second is hairstyle. Women in the Han DynastyEspecially in the palace, long hair was tied behind the back without bangs. This was a standard symbol of women in the Han Dynasty.
The various styles of hair with bangs and many pigtails that you see on the streets are actually modified versions to increase beauty. I have to say that this is indeed much more beautiful, so it cannot be generalized. If it's for a photo shoot, you can dress up as pretty as you like, as long as you don't have Qing Dynasty hair. Then there is the movement. Since she is a beauty in Hanfu, every move and every move must have the charming sense of sight that was taught by the three obediences and four virtues in ancient times. The walk should be steady, the movements should be light, that is, the orchid finger should be natural and not artificial, and every smile should be restrained and calm. As long as you have watched movies and TV dramas, it is not difficult to copy the more graceful postures of men and women.
Photographer's shooting angleFrom a photographer's point of view, if there is no problem with the model's expressiveness, the rest is how to shoot. Many photographers should have no problem with this. Since it is a shooting of clothing models, it is necessary to take into account both the clothing and the characters, focusing on the texture and elegance of the clothing. If you can combine the elegant and smart clothing features, as well as the characters' attire and hairstyle into a reasonable composition, it will be a better work. Of course, we can take detailed close-up shots, or we can show the model's dancing postures and each graceful movement in a large scene. The vividness of the photos taken in this way will increase a lot, which requires a large aperture and appropriate light. I don’t need to say more about these.
Then there is the choice of shooting location, because Xi'an has many historical sites from the Han Dynasty. Therefore, I usually shoot at the city wall, Daming Palace, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Tang Furong Garden and other places with Xi'an characteristics. It is relatively convenient to choose the scene. Generally choose the time to shoot in the morning and afternoon, when the light is softer, which will make it easier to produce the film.
