Tips for a more enjoyable photo shoot with Hollywood stars

Tips for a more enjoyable photo shoot with Hollywood stars The image is from the announcement of the "Madame Tussauds Tokyo Priority Admission & Waxing Hand Certificate Plan" for a limited time (from Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba press release).

Here are some detailed tips to make your photo shoot with Hollywood stars more enjoyable.

Flash is turned off to take pictures.

To maximize the realism of the life-size figure, turn off the flash on your smartphone.

Using a flash may cause light to reflect off the surface of the figure, resulting in an unnatural sheen. The facility is well lit for photography, so you will be able to take beautiful pictures without using a flash.

In case you feel that the brightness is not bright enough, it is recommended to adjust the percentage of exposure on your phone.

Align your eyes with the height of the camera.

By shooting from the same eye level as the figure, you can capture a realistic shot as if you were standing side by side with a real celebrity.

Shooting from a distance of about 2 meters from the life-size figure will make it appear as if the figure is naturally looking at you. For a more realistic shot, you can position the camera a little lower and shoot with an upward gaze to capture a more realistic expression.

Zoom in a little on the figure to reduce lens distortion.

Smartphone cameras are prone to distortion if you shoot at too close a distance. For a more natural-looking shot, it is recommended to zoom in while keeping a certain distance from the figure. 1.2 - 1.5x zoom will allow you to capture beautiful details of the figure without blurring the background too much.

Tap a figure to bring it into focus.

If you want to take a picture of a person along with a figure, focus on the figure to capture the realistic texture of the figure. Tap the figure to lock the focus before shooting to avoid blurring or blurring.

If the lighting is backlit, you can capture the entire subject nicely by focusing the camera firmly on the figure.
