What are the rules of light and lighting techniques that you often use in commercial photography?

Generally, it is relatively simple to use up all the light for commercial portrait photography. On the one hand, people's controllability is relatively small, on the other hand, the lines depicted by natural light are too obvious, but as commercial photographers, we can apply all the light to portrait photography. Zeal production explains several lighting technologies of natural light in commercial portrait photography:

1, direct sunlight

In the past, when we participated in photography training, the teacher would tell us that it is best not to shoot portraits in direct sunlight, because the light is too clever, which will cause a great contrast between the light receiving surface and the backlight surface. However, we often see that many fashion blockbusters are made in direct sunlight. The light receiving surface and the backlight surface can not only outline the lines of the model, but also bring different feelings to the photos.

2. Backlight and reflector

Using the technology of backlight and reflector lighting, it is easy to shoot surreal effects similar to movie stills. The light effect of backlight is very charming, which can create a perfect dream scene, and the commercial photographs taken are also very popular.

Step 3 scatter sunlight

If it is sunny, how can we get scattered sunlight? We can use the necessary soft light plate or integrated reflector in large-scale astigmatism network to scatter sunlight and soften the light emitted by sunlight. Portrait commercial photography requires photographers to shoot with natural light, because the controllability of natural light is poor, but we can use sunlight at different times to shoot portraits with different feelings.
