What are the skills of photography?

The smooth picture is plain and natural.

Guang Shun is very suitable for representing the skin texture of characters, and at the same time, it can cover up some small facial defects, avoid dark shadows on the face, and make the light-receiving surface in the picture bright and gorgeous.

However, its shortcomings are equally obvious. On the one hand, the model usually faces the camera, which means that when the light is smooth, the model will face the light directly, which makes it easy for the model to squint when shooting, or unable to express his eyes smoothly. In addition, smooth light will make the face flatter and lose the three-dimensional sense. In actual shooting, if smooth light must be used, the model's head can be twisted at an angle, which can largely avoid the above problems.

(The portrait is shot in light, and the illumination of the figure is even, and the stereoscopic effect of the picture is not obvious. )

Side light depicts a three-dimensional sense.

Side light has a strong selection effect, so many people call side light shaping light. This is because the side light can make the subject have obvious light receiving surface and backlight surface, which forms a strong contrast between light and shade on the human face, and the color tone is very rich, which is very suitable for expressing the three-dimensional sense.

The stereoscopic effect created by side light is excellent, and the effect of expressing the five senses of the subject is ideal. The light and shade are very suitable for shooting angular men. no

But the side light can create a clear picture, so the control ability is strict. You need to practice more when you use it.

The side light has a strong contrast between light and dark, which can well express the three-dimensional sense of the characters. )

Backlight highlights the outline of the body.

The biggest advantage of backlight shooting is that it can create bright side light, especially the position of hair, form beautiful head light, and can effectively render the picture atmosphere.

At the same time, however, there is also a disadvantage of backlight shooting, that is, the back of the model is exposed to light, and the front of the model becomes light-deficient. Therefore, it is necessary to fill the light to take photos of people and backgrounds with normal exposure. Otherwise, if the exposure is based on the model, the result is likely to be overexposed background.

Backlight shooting is a test of the lens. Cheap lenses often produce glare and fog at this time, which requires the use of a hood to block light from entering the picture and affect the aesthetic feeling of the picture.

Backlight shooting makes the characters' hair shine and beautiful. )

Silhouette effect under backlight

When shooting against the light, if you don't fill the light for the characters, you can often get the silhouette effect. But at this time, camera settings such as metering and exposure compensation have great influence on the shooting results.

Shooting a portrait under strong backlight is easy to form a silhouette and highlight the performance of the contour line. )

Scattered light shows delicate skin.

Scattered light is the most common light in nature. The contrast of portraits taken with scattered light is moderate, and the contrast between light and dark should not be too strong. Best suited to show the skin of the characters. When shooting under scattered light, the model's skin will feel very delicate and smooth, and because there is no strong light ratio and light source direction, it will generally not produce shadows on the subject's face.

Scattered light can better express people's skin. )

Skillfully avoided the direct light at noon.

Many times a day, it is very suitable for portrait photography, but many photographers never want to shoot at noon. The reason is that the light money at noon is hard, which will make the subject have a strong shadow, the contrast between light and dark is large, and the visual effect is not ideal, especially not suitable for expressing characters.

Of course, although the light is strong at noon, it is not completely impossible to catch the portrait. When shooting, you only need to choose a cool place or a place where the light is not obvious, such as under the shade of a tree or a gazebo, or you can use props such as umbrellas artificially. However, it should be noted that when shooting in the shade, it is necessary to pay attention to the mottled light and shadow in the shade, which will form a "big face" on the model's face. It is extremely unsightly, so pay special attention when choosing a place.

Strong afternoon light can make people's hair shine beautifully, but it will cause too strong contrast between light and shade. Fill the face with a reflector to make the light more uniform. )
