10 creative lighting photography method

By changing the light on the character's face, a completely different emotional atmosphere can be created. The following is what I collected for you about 10 creative lighting photography methods, I hope it will help you!

1, basic portrait lamp

This is the most typical way of portrait lighting. Add a light source on the right side of the model, fill the shadow with a white reflector on the left side, and add an extra light source from the left rear height (the head of the model is at the upper left of the back) to make the head of the model more prominent.

2. Terror

Everyone must have tried to take a flashlight from under your face and from bottom to top, and the result will make your face look creepy! If you add flashing background light, it will become very scary! Besides horror movies, you can also try to join your next portrait shoot.

3.the beauty of the 20th century.

Similar to our common portrait lighting, the light shines on the model's head, the spotlight is added to the front of the model, and then the secret is to create a soft and dreamy hazy feeling with "stockings".

4, artificial intelligence machine sense

Ring flash is a very popular portrait lamp at present, aiming at creating a soft aesthetic feeling. Of course, it can also play a small role in the eyes of models, and it is also popular. The light channel feels a bit like the reflection of robot eyes. what do you think?

5. Science fiction

Using simple household dimming lights, or adding colored filter paper (gummed paper) to illuminate your face with different colors, you can create a sci-fi atmosphere!

Step 6 be sad

Make good use of the fun of shadows! Through a glass plate, plus water drops and lights, even at home, you can shoot the blue-blue melancholy effect on rainy days!

7. Black and white movies

With the shadow cast by the curtain as the background, a small hole is added to the carton to focus the light and shine on the model's eyes, bringing out the mystery.

8. World leaders

By using the lampshade of "China Lantern" (foreigners like to use this lampshade instead of the soft box, which is called China Ball), the conclusion is that the light is more diffuse and softer than the soft box, and blackboards are added on the left and right sides of the model to reduce the light on both sides of the face. If the shooting angle is lower, the role of the leader can be further amplified.

9. Questioner

Adding light to the back of the character, opposite to the camera, can create a threatening silhouette. Try to imagine that if the model's figure is moving and the light is flashing slowly, he will bump into your camera and start kicking next …

10, angel

Much like the feelings and settings of world leaders. They all use a well-lit background and a light source above the model's head, but the background here needs to be brighter!
