Teaching Portrait Photography Skills: Necessary for Portrait Shooting

1, using reflected light

Learn to control the direction of light and try to simulate the lighting effect of photography studio by using reflected light. It is not a good idea to point the subject directly at the sun unless you want to get a clean outline. An effective way is to wait for the clouds to move to cover the sun, which can often produce a very obvious contrast effect between light and shade.

2. Use existing reflected light

For example, you can use a nearby white car as a ready-made reflector when shooting, as long as it is not painted with a layer of gray. You can change the tone of the photo white balance. )

3. Understand the standard of F 16.

You must have a correct exposure benchmark in your mind, especially when there is a lack of metering tools at the shooting scene. The standard of F 16 is that when the aperture value of your camera is adjusted to F 16 in the case of sunlight shooting, the shutter speed will be the reciprocal of the current ISO sensitivity. For example, if your camera ISO is set to 100 and the aperture is set to F 16, the shutter speed should be one hundredth of a second. In cloudy conditions (or when shooting in shadows), you only need to use the F8 aperture. Of course, it is best if you have an exposure meter or a gray card to accurately measure the exposure. (Note: The process of measuring exposure with a gray card is different from setting a custom white balance. )

Take a sheet and some clips from home.

Are there any old silk sheets in your storage room? Go find it. Of course, you can also choose to buy the cheapest white sheets. An extra-large sheet can make a magical and cheap soft light cover. The way the sheet becomes a sun cover: wrap the edge of the sheet and clip it on a branch or rope to filter the direct sunlight, especially the light from directly above the subject. Note that the bottom of the sheet is tied with stones with ropes to prevent the sheet from being blown into your shooting picture by the wind. )
