Traditional Guangdong Costumes in the Republic of China

As a traditional costume of the Republic of China, cheongsam can highlight the curvaceous beauty and dignified and elegant temperament of women, but not everyone can control cheongsam well. After years of precipitation, middle-aged women can better capture the unique beauty of cheongsam, but it still needs some skills to shoot a good portrait of cheongsam. Here, I will share with you seven points that should be paid attention to when shooting to help you take elegant and dignified photos.

Cheongsam portraits belong to retro and Republic of China styles. You can choose gardens, Gu Xiang, ancient towns, quadrangles and other places with a sense of artistic conception and story. This kind of scene is more suitable for cheongsam portraits and can also create a nostalgic atmosphere.

Aunties can choose some beautiful props that meet the theme, such as oil-paper umbrella, paper fan, guzheng and tea set. Like the lady below, posing with an oil-paper umbrella can enrich the hand posture and greatly enhance the expressive force.

Cheongsam has high requirements for women's figure, and many aunts are troubled by thick waist or lower abdomen. In order to be thinner and more photogenic, it is also a very good choice to just shoot the upper body and face the camera sideways to avoid small body defects.

With the help of objects in the scene, you can not only interact with the environment, but also blend in with the scene. Taking pictures is not abrupt. Secondly, if you take a full-body photo, you can also use the natural radian when your body leans to avoid a small belly, which is simple and practical.

When taking a photo of cheongsam, the posture should not be too casual. When standing for a full-length photo, the aunts can stand gracefully, such as standing with their feet crossed, or like the aunts below, one foot is the center of gravity and the other foot is extended backwards, revealing the curve of the calf and dignified atmosphere.

When taking a portrait of a cheongsam, the dynamic picture can better capture the temperament of the model, but the posture should not be exaggerated. Simply walk to the camera, it doesn't matter whether you look at the camera or not. But as far as possible, it is better to shoot panoramic or mid-shot, and it can also show elegance and gas texture.

For an expressive aunt, you can arrange appropriate gestures for her hands reasonably. Referring to the lady below, put your hands on your head to make people look more linear and stereoscopic, thus enhancing the overall expressive force of the picture. It's worth a try.

Well, that's all I want to share with you today. When aunts shoot cheongsam portraits, the above seven shooting points can be noted or referenced, from scenes, props to postures, giving you some ideas to help you take more dignified, elegant and temperament photos.
