How to use up when shooting portraits?

The use of light mainly meets the following purposes:

1, the exposure requires the best exposure requires the best illumination. Don't say anything without light. This is the most basic and important principle. Meet the light first. 2, the atmosphere creates a world of light and shadow that meets the needs. Your own needs should be very clear, which involves lighting. What atmosphere do you want to create? Darkness? Scary? Blue sunshine? Joy？ This is directly related to your creative purpose. 3, color tonality bright tone? Dark tones? Strong color contrast? Weak contrast? These are all related to the use of light. Give priority to with natural light and ambient light, and then use artificial light to fill the light. Why should natural light and ambient light be given priority? Now there is a further reason, that is, "there are only 1 sun". If you want to pursue the real natural light effect, you should use the real light as much as possible to create. Natural light and ambient light belong to true light. If we want to take real photos, we should consider using this kind of light as much as possible.

4. Color temperature and color reproduction are related to the luminescent materials of the lamp, so I don't need to go into details. I refer to the lighting standard of CIE. Let's take outdoor as an example. I can give you an example of taking pictures here. Let's see how to get it. First of all, the idea just now is to determine the main light, and the natural sun is my main light. I think the most beautiful outdoor portrait is the side backlight. Look at the first five lights, so now that you have the concept of lights, you will know how to find the side backlight.

So what is the photosphere of the sun? Of course, the most scientific method is to test the exposure meter. But here we have an old mage who hasn't appeared for a long time: sunshine law16-don't look at this ancient law, but we should decisively take it as the experience of our predecessors. But if you don't fill the front of the character, it is likely to have a black face. At this time, you must use the spot metering function of the camera to measure people's faces, and fill the light if necessary. For example, the sunshine rule 16 tells you that it is F 1 1, then your face needs to be measured above F5.6, so you will definitely get a very beautiful side backlight portrait when shooting.

5. Contrast requirements Where do you need to focus on the details of the picture? Which areas belong to dark and hidden parts? This will reflect your lighting skills and is one of the basic needs of photography.

If you insist on this kind of shooting, you will find the same portrait, and your character's light perception in the photo will be much stronger than that of amateurs. Then your portrait will be by going up one flight of stairs.
