What should have been a beautiful April day on earth, many places have been forced to stop all activities because of the recurrence of the epidemic. Staying at home has once again become the pace of life for most people in recent times.
The sun was shining brighter and the temperature was gradually rising. The grass in the park is green again, and the flowers are blooming at the most beautiful season. However, our footsteps were suddenly stopped by the epidemic, and we could only "appreciate" these great spring colors from the windows and mobile phone screens.
Especially in Shanghai, there are many friends who have been staying at home for nearly a month, and even this state will continue for a while. So, in the face of a long and somewhat boring home life, the editor is wondering, can you find some fun for yourself through the "home photo" thing?

After all, it's one of the favorite things many bloggers and entertainers used to do while staying at home. You can go to social networks to brush up on the "home blockbusters" they shot at that time, which are worthy of reference and reference.
Before we officially take a home photo, we have to do some preparatory work, and the steps are no easier than when we shoot outdoors. Although we can only stay at home, it does not hinder the desire for beauty in our hearts. It can pass the time, but also make the clothes, shoes and hats that have been idle for a long time "move".
Small things of life at your fingertips

Taking pictures at home, you have to have a little homely taste to be more emotional. Therefore, you may wish to take out the small objects that can be seen everywhere as props for taking pictures, such as porcelain teacups and glassware on the table, as small as rings, necklaces and mobile phone cases.
Although these small props look inconspicuous, they can often play a finishing effect. Especially at present, everyone's home environment is generally quite close, and if you use a very colorful mobile phone case, a very literary vase, or an eye-catching fashion decoration like Lost in Echo, the whole photo will become different.

Furniture that is easy to "move"
Reference: Full-length mirror (non-fixed), chair, sofa, curtains
Compared with the outdoor natural scenery, the most useful thing for home shooting should be a variety of furniture. Of course, it is not necessary for everyone to make a big effort to remove the wardrobe or anything, you can try to find something lighter and move without spending a lot of effort, such as a full-length mirror that is not fixed to the wall:
As for chairs and sofas, it's not necessary to move them around, but we can find places to sit and lie down, so that your home "blockbuster" can be photographed with more possibilities.

Find a safe, easy-to-empty venue
Reference: balcony (sun room), staircase, corner, window sill
The home is not as empty as the outdoors, so if you take pictures, it is best to find a place where you can empty the clutter, or those small corners that are usually not used and ignored, in this kind of place can better let go of your hands and feet.

Those with open balconies occupy favorable conditions, as long as you open the windows, let the abundant sunlight shine in, sit and stand casually can take very good photos of the home.
When we have a variety of props and scenes to choose from, the next step is to think about how to shoot the same blockbuster effect at home as outdoors. Since the size of the site is generally limited (except for large and spacious flats and villas), it is important to enhance the look by posing.
Stretch your legs as naturally as possible
The importance of this point should not need to be repeated by editors. Whenever and wherever we take pictures, the girls will go to great lengths to make themselves look taller, and the key part of this is the legs.

So when taking photos at home, find a place where you can extend your legs to the greatest extent, or find a place where you can shelve and stretch your legs, so that people can see your legs at a glance, then you can appear tall.
If you are born with long and well-proportioned legs like Guan Xiaotong, you can also choose to stand directly on the edge of the wall or door frame, and use these longitudinal lines to help extend your legs, looking thinner and taller.
Try to relax and stretch your limbs as much as possible
Since we are taking pictures in our own homes, of course, we can be more relaxed than when facing strangers, so the limbs can be stretched and relaxed as much as possible, without being too rigid, even if we take pictures like "Sa Huan".
Everyone should know that whether it is taking pictures or doing sports, the more tense the limbs are, the worse the effect will be, and once the whole person is opened, even if it is just a lazy waist, it can also look very natural, there is a feeling of "four or two strokes".
Besides, anyway, in your own home, even if you "lie flat" to take a picture, no one will look around or spit on you. As long as there is a suitable power fulcrum, even in bed, you can shoot a very good film, like this:
Everyone should remember that no matter where you take pictures, you should try to find a comfortable focus point when posing, which can make you more comfortable to fiddle with your limbs. In addition to lying on the bed, you can also lean against the glass window (pay attention to safety if you are by the window) or the door, in short, try not to let the body freeze in mid-air.
Face-to-face shooting, half-covered face is more meaningful
In addition to taking full-body photos, the home environment is also suitable for taking close-up photos. Needless to say, see more cookie-cutter full-body photos, sometimes this kind of close-up photos are quite eye-catching!
The editor wants to nominate Wang Zixuan, who can always contribute a wave of high-quality "half-face photos" after the gym, and it is a very simple movement with her back to the mirror, but she can show her very good shoulder and back lines. What's more, her lululemon sportswear is really grassy!

So how do you take a good-looking face-to-face photo in a slightly bland home? At this time, you can try the "blank" technique in artistic creation, even if it is a close-up of the face, you can also cover the composition of half of the face, such as using a mobile phone or other small objects to block half of the face, such a shooting method can give people a more imaginative space.
In fact, home life is not as monotonous and terrible as imagined, and it is important that we have a positive coping attitude. For optimistic people, even if it is a humble detail, you may be able to reap happiness from it! Come on! We can get through this together!
