How to shoot a good portrait in mottled light and shadow

Fill the model's face with light, and in the mottled light and shadow environment, it is easy to have problems such as yin and yang faces and uneven spots. Pay special attention to filling the shadow area of the model's face, so that the light on the face can be uniform.

Close to the model, accurate measurement

In the mottled light and shadow, we should also pay attention to the correct metering when shooting. Due to the large area of light and dark interlaced area in the environment, long-distance photometry is prone to overexposure or underexposure. Using evaluation photometry, the light intensity of the whole scene can be automatically averaged and the exposure parameters suitable for the scene can be set. Another method is to get close to the model, let the model's face fill the viewfinder, lock the exposure value after the photometry is completed, and then retreat to a suitable distance to focus on the composition and complete the shooting.

Tungsten lamp mode displays the blues picture.

Outdoor portrait photography usually adopts automatic white balance setting, or selects sunshine, shadow and cloudy white balance according to ambient light for slight color correction. In order to make the picture layer appear blue effect, we can use tungsten lamp mode intentionally, and through it, we can add blue characteristics to show a thick and unique cool tone; You can also shoot in RAW format, and adjust the white balance flexibly later.

The dark background color is stronger.

When using tungsten lamp mode to enhance the blue color, it should be noted that the darker the background, the stronger the blue color. In the picture on the other side, you can see the blue picture in the dark area. It is suggested that models wear light clothes and choose dark background. In this way, there will be obvious color and contrast between light and shade on the screen, and the effect will be more ideal.
