What are the characteristics of light source?

The light source is characterized in that:

1. Light intensity.

The relationship between intensity and distance from light source accords with inverse square law. The idea of inverse square is that if the distance between point B and the light source is twice that of point A, then the intensity of light received by point B is a quarter of that of point A. ..

2. direction.

According to the relationship between light source and object, the position of light source can be divided into four basic types: front light, 45-degree side light, 90-degree side light and backlight. Backlight is generated when the light is emitted from the back of the subject to the camera. In the case of backlight, the dark silhouette of the subject will appear in front of the bright background. This Gao Fancha image is simple and expressive.
