拍摄舞者的4个技巧

 拍摄舞者的4个技巧

Kenneth Campbell

Shaun Ho是一位来自新加坡的体育摄影师。 他的职业生涯横跨近十年,之前从未想过要拍摄舞蹈摄影。 在PetaPixel网站的一篇文章中,他告诉记者,他是在一个朋友的邀请下开始从事这个环节的,为她的舞蹈项目的试镜拍摄提供帮助。

"我不知道该怎么做,但幸运的是,她很有耐心,照片效果很好。 她上了节目,并把图片记在我的名下。 人们看到了我做的工作,通过一系列幸运的事件,我很快发现自己与职业前和职业舞者合作。"

肖恩说他的风格在很大程度上受到他的体育摄影背景的影响。 他说,好的舞蹈摄影有两个明显的元素,就是能够展示一个人的身体特征,同时传达出感觉和情感。

他注意到互联网上缺乏关于舞蹈摄影的文献,决定创建一个他认为很重要的四个简单提示的清单,以帮助任何有兴趣开始这一旅程的摄影师。

1.设置你的相机和灯光,以定格动作

模糊的图像是一张好照片和优秀照片之间的细微差别。 运动模糊可能是舞蹈摄影师的敌人,在户外和在演播室冻结动作需要两套完全不同的考虑。

在冰冻的阳光下,动作更直接。 太阳是一个连续的来源,所需要的是一个快速的快门速度。 1/400s就足以冻结运动。 Shaun用中性拍子来补充填充要求,以保持温度一致。

在摄影棚里,情况有所不同。在使用闪光灯时,快门速度对动作的冻结没有影响。闪光灯的速度决定了动作的冻结程度。不谈技术细节,你基本上需要考虑的是,时间t0.1越短,动作的冻结就越好。根据Shaun的说法,一个评级1/2000的t0.1足以冻结任何与人类运动有关的动作。

使用对焦按钮

肖恩说,作为一名体育摄影师,他采用的一个重要功能是将相机的对焦模式设置为使用相机背面的自动对焦按钮。 这需要一点时间来适应,但将自动对焦与快门释放脱钩后,你可以在看到下一个范围的动作时释放快门。

大多数相机上的后置拍照按钮都有 "AF-ON "字样。 使用该按钮的另一个优点是能够在必要时进行预对焦。 这对于拍摄对象转身或原地跳动的情况特别有用。 你对人物进行预对焦,在时机成熟时释放快门。

3.保持简单

在他早期的舞蹈排练中,Shaun会设置五盏灯来拍摄一个人。 他回忆说,鉴于设置的复杂性,他花了更多的时间来指挥他的助手调整灯光,而不是与舞者沟通。 这种缺乏与舞者的双向沟通的做法,导致拍摄了无数浪费的图片,而舞者后来并没有使用。

此后,肖恩发展到更简单的设置,在任何情况下最多只用两盏灯。 他还找到时间在每次拍摄前询问舞者的期望,帮助创造更多可用的图像,而不费力。

4.从舞者的角度出发

了解你所拍摄的东西的技术要素总是值得的。 著名的舞蹈摄影师Rachel Neville、Vikki Slovitor和Deborah Ory都有舞蹈背景,我相信这些知识有助于他们创造出惊人的图像。

另外,可以带一个熟悉舞蹈的朋友作为助手,帮助你发现姿势和动作。 看你能看的,学习术语,随着时间的推移,你也会知道什么是好的,什么是不好的。

作为一名摄影师,掌握舞者的语言是非常重要的。 一旦你了解了阿拉伯舞的态度,并能欣赏到肢体和线条背后的美感,你不仅能拍出更好的照片,还能看到更多的工作向你走来。
