Chapter 68: In the Rain
A few people chatted in the teahouse in full swing, but they didn't know that the sky outside was quietly changing, the sun was gone, and some were just dark clouds.
The changes in the weather are still unknown to several people, and several people have been talking about the feeling that Xiao Xu wants to shoot in the afternoon, but they don't know that such weather is not to mention the sunset feeling that Xiao Xu wants, and even ordinary photos may not be able to be taken.
A rainy day may be romantic, but a rainy day is definitely not a photographer's favorite weather, the dark light, the raindrops in the sky, all this is a big challenge for photographers.
The SLR is not waterproof and noisy on cloudy days. And even when shooting, in many cases, you can't say what kind of light source you want, but the exterior shooting is not the interior shooting, there are not too many auxiliary tools, there are no flashing lights, there are no LED lights, and the artistic conception you want to express can only rely on God to appreciate your face.
Although portable flashes can also be used on location, the asymmetry of the light ratio will make the face and the surrounding scenery have a great difference.
When Zhang Luo and the three of them walked out of the teahouse, they all shook their heads when they looked at the sky outside. Even the fat man, who doesn't know much about photography, knows the importance of light, not to mention the other two.
Xiao Xu looked at the weather and secretly said a word of bad luck. However, the shoot still has to be filmed, and the couple will have to travel to other places tomorrow, and it is impossible to stay here forever. And although yesterday's shooting was not the best, it was also very cooperative.
The problem lies with Xiao Xu, since he said that he could finish filming today, he had to grit his teeth and finish it. Xiao Xu no longer blamed the weather, and tried to think of a way.
I went to the photo studio to get two assistants, and I asked for a flash and a light by the way, both of which don't need to use a power strip, only a battery can be done. If you need to plug in the power strip, Xiao Xu can go to the sea, where can you easily find the power strip plugged in the location!
Then contact the newcomer and prepare to shoot in advance, this kind of weather can no longer wait for the sunset to appear, and can only rely on the shooting and post-production.
After everything was ready, Xiao Xu, Zhang Luo, and the two assistants appeared next to the shooting venue yesterday, and they could shoot just after the newcomers arrived.
However, the newcomer didn't wait, but the light rain was about to start falling, although it was not much, but it could also reach the presence of water droplets on the face from time to time.
The little couple finally came before the rain fell, Xiao Xu discussed with him, or was he going to finish filming today, and the little couple didn't have much time to stay here, so they also agreed to this statement.
The makeup artist who came with the little couple used the fastest speed to make up the two of them, Xiao Xu also officially entered the state, Zhang Luo and the fat man didn't bother much at this time, so they took the initiative to be a shadow pedestrian.
However, the idea is beautiful, you can not be beautiful, halfway through the shooting, the rain has begun to fall heavily, at this time there is a most important problem, so if you shoot like this, the small couple will inevitably become a soup chicken, although maybe the little couple will not care, but in the picture in the photo, it will not be too beautiful.
Xiao Xu was also distressed at this time, how to do it now to be able to do all this well, Xiao Xu was already a little confused.
Zhang Luo watched from the side, and didn't come up with any ideas, Zhang Luo still wanted to see Xiao Xu's response at this moment, to see if he could do a good job, or this can be regarded as the most intuitive embodiment of how to deal with emergencies.
It didn't take long for Xiao Xu to come to the little couple with the camera, and described it with his hand while talking, as if he had already thought about how to deal with it.
At first, the little couple didn't seem to agree, but after Xiao Xu's explanation and assurance, they were willing to give it a try.
At this time, Xiao Xu is full of confidence, which may be a common problem of photographers, sometimes when he comes up with a good idea, he will involuntarily convince others, let others believe that if he shoots like this, the results will be so shocking.
The little couple was obviously moved by Xiao Xu's words, and the assistant saw that after the little couple agreed, they didn't need Xiao Xu to speak again, so they immediately ran back to the photography shop to get the props, if they didn't have this eyesight, they couldn't be a qualified assistant, and it would be even more difficult to be a photographer in the future.
Every photographer has been made from an assistant, a good photographer must be a great assistant, so to speak, the photographer shoots a photo, without a good assistant, then it must be incomplete.
This is not to say that the photographer is not important, but every photographer only has one pair of hands, he can't press the shutter while playing the reflector, and at the same time take care of whether there is a goof, whether there is a mistake, the photographer is a human being, not a god, if you shoot with a telephoto, the details are even more difficult to notice.
When the assistant ran back, Xiao Xu had already finished communicating with the little couple, and how to behave later, the little couple had a confidence in their hearts, although it was the first time, but this kind of thing, in fact, had experienced it when I was a child, and it was just a matter of familiarizing myself.
Everything was ready, and the shooting went on as normal.
In the rain, the smiles of the little couple are so natural, in the rain, the little couple has completely given up the restraints, forgetting that they are shooting, and they only have the existence of each other in their eyes.
The two people who hugged each other, the two people who hugged each other, didn't care about the eyes of others at all, although the clothes were soaked, and the whole look became a little embarrassed, but in Xiao Xu's eyes, this was the perfect photo he wanted, not pretentious, not nervous, and completely true to the performance.
At this moment, the umbrella is completely just a prop, it has no function of sheltering from the wind and rain, and some are just a little embellishment on the side of the feet of the small two.
The little couple also forgot the existence of the umbrella, drenched in the rain, whispering in their ears, and in the end, they had completely forgotten that they were still taking photos, and Xiao Xu didn't bother the little couple, just silently looking for the camera position alone, and finding an angle that could perfectly show the state of the little couple to shoot.
Although the sunset was not taken, Xiao Xu still felt very satisfied with this group of photos in the rain, and the nature was the most real, the two people in the photo completely showed themselves, which is different from what the photographer asked to do and what actions he was willing to do, this is completely a self-presentation.
There is no stiffness in the expression, no sense of incongruity, no smile that feels fake, and some are just a happy self-introduction, this is the little couple, this is love.
