How to shoot the skin texture of a portrait

Lighting methods Bf 13,1160, Canon EOS 1DS Mark II The above picture is taken to promote whitening and skin care, and the facial skin of the model is required to be very bright and tender. Simple plane light can make facial skin very white, but the skin will not appear particularly bright and shiny, so the side backlight is extremely prominent in this case. Main light: place a soft box at 1.5 meters above the figure, and the tilt angle of the soft box is about 30 degrees. Note that the optical center of the soft light box is best not to hit the face of the character directly, but to be above it, so that the skin texture of the character will be very soft and layered. If the dark part of the face is underexposed, we use a white reflector to fill the light under the head of the character. View original post >>
