I found a travel photography shop in Pingyao Ancient City that can produce great photos straight out of the camera

🥳 Sisters who come in, congratulate me on getting off safely first! I didn't expect the photos to turn out so well. I saw many beautiful ones taken in Pingyao before, and I couldn't resist the temptation. Last weekend, I took a high-speed train to Pingyao Ancient City, and today I finally got the finished photos and couldn't wait to share with everyone. I hope it can serve as a reference for the sisters who are going to visit during the Dragon Boat Festival~ ✅ First of all, I did a lot of research before going. I started by looking at the photographer's portfolio to get a sense of their style. I suggest that when you do your research, you can start with the portfolio. After looking for a long time, I chose Xitang Travel Photography, which was recommended by many people. 📝 Some experiences during the photo shoot: ⭕ First is choosing clothes! Clothes are really important! If you want to look like a young lady or a miss, choose clothes with heavy embroidery, they have a great texture. If it's appliqué, you can just walk away. I suggest going early to have more choices; if you go late, the good-looking clothes will be picked over. ✅ If you want to look lively, consider brighter colors. ✅ If you want a cool and distant female style, consider blue or green. ⭕ Second, the skill level of makeup artists varies. Some are professional makeup artists, some are apprentices, and some may even be aunties. So, you can't blindly compare prices. A good makeup artist will match the most suitable makeup and clothes according to each person's face shape and figure, and the photos will turn out especially well. ⭕ Third, I suggest choosing a sunny day for the photo shoot. At night, it really tests the photographer's skills. Big red lanterns hanging high, a pale person under the wall, without some skills, it's really hard to take good photos, and it can even be scary. During the day, the soft light makes it easier to get good shots, and there's less chance of waste shots. ⭕ Fourth, you must, must, must communicate with the photographer before shooting! Show the photographer the style of photos you want in advance. Otherwise, you might shoot for an hour or two and end up with a style that's completely not what you wanted. After all, each photographer has their own strengths. Remember to show them photos, not just describe them verbally!!! 📷 Photo poses: These two are very important! 👀 Eye contact: Sisters who don't take photos often might look unnatural when looking at the camera. You can try looking into the distance instead of at the camera, but remember to slightly adjust the direction of your eyes to avoid rolling them. 🤲 Finger positioning: Try the orchid finger gesture, relax your fingers, and maintain it at all times, no matter what action you're doing. Only then will you capture that delicate feeling.
