How do newcomers learn wedding photography? Suggest taking romantic wedding photos.

Photography is an art, and the proportion of personal talent and feeling is far greater than theoretical knowledge. I think I feel good, I can try to start my own business, and I can't learn anything by working for others.

If you teach yourself, take a camera and start to explore from the instructions, and then take a new one. The whole process needs real shooting; Photoshop also needs systematic learning. There are many video tutorials available online, but the key is to practice. Go to several major photography forums to watch experts' films, control the composition and light, imitate the pat, and then add your own ideas to try to change.

Skills:

1, main light

The main light is the first choice to determine the lighting mode of the subject, and other lights can only play an auxiliary role. The main light used in modern studios is usually emitted by soft light boxes. The reason why the soft box is used is that the light it emits is more uniform and easy to control. The so-called soft light box is actually to put one or several light bulbs in a box and illuminate the subject through a soft box cover (usually made of plastic or textile) that can scatter light. The bigger the box, the more light bulbs, the stronger the power and the wider the lighting range. For the general photo studio, a soft light box with a diameter of about one square meter can be competent. The distance and angle of illumination can be adjusted as needed, and the exposure is determined according to the main light.

Step 2 fill the lamp

Fill light is also called auxiliary light. As the name implies, its function is to supplement the light of the shadow and make it shallow. In fact, the auxiliary light can be the same soft box as the main light, and its light ratio with the main light can be adjusted by lighting distance or output power. If the exposure of the supplementary light is 3 steps less than that of the main light, the light ratio is 1: 3, which means that the result will get a deeper shadow. If the intensity of the supplementary light is close to the main light, for example, the difference is half an aperture, then the shadow part becomes very shallow. For simplicity, the light source can be fixed on the ceiling or wall, and the depth of the shadow can be controlled only by adjusting the output power. As for how to get the best light ratio between the supplementary light and the main light, we can only try again and again.

3. Background light

In most cases, the subject has a certain distance from the background. Because the illumination of the light source decreases obviously with the increase of distance, the background is farther away from the light source than the main body, so the brightness of the background is much darker than the main body. If exposed according to the lighting conditions of the subject, the background will appear darker, and as a result, the subject looks as if it is integrated into the dark background. If the photographer doesn't mind this background effect, of course, no background light is needed. But if we want to distinguish the subject from the background, we need to illuminate the background separately, so there is the so-called background light. However, the use of background light should take into account the color, distance and illumination angle of the background. If you can't do it well, you will be self-defeating. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the background light repeatedly to use it normally. In order to illuminate the seamless background evenly, it is sometimes necessary to use two lamps.
