Lighting setting of portrait shooting in studio

It's not necessary. In fact, a main light source is enough for portrait photography. There are too many beautiful photos taken by a single lamp. The key is to look at the light and composition. If you have SB800, you can also prepare two reflectors, and white foam can also be used. If possible, you can prepare a black dimmer for standby. SB800 can be used as the main light, and you can buy a soft light cover or beam tube as a flash. The accessories of these flash lamps are not expensive. Whether it's a soft mask or a beam tube depends on what effect you want to shoot.

The simplest way of light distribution is to have three light sources. Among them, sb800 is the main light, which illuminates the main body at a 45-degree angle on the left or right side. Two fast reflectors are placed on the left and right sides of the picture to brighten the shadow, and the distance is adjusted according to the intensity of the flash. If the flash is strong, stay away, if it is weak, stay close. Or you can use a reflector on the left or right side, and put the other reflector on the back of the main body to brighten the outline. If you have an extra flash or photographic light, just replace the reflector, and the position is similar. There are three kinds of light sources: surface light, side light and side light. As long as you have these, you can basically do simple tent shooting. Besides, if you have a high-powered desk lamp or even a flashlight, wouldn't it be nice to have a background light? But pay attention to the color temperature of the light source must be consistent, not one yellow and one white, that would be funny. There are many ways. Many masters can also shoot excellent portraits with a single lamp or reflector. You can try more.
