Rembrandt lighting effect is most suitable for taking portraits.

Extended data

Rembrandt is a world-famous Dutch painter. Rembrandt lighting is a special lighting technology specially used to shoot portraits. When shooting, the shadow face of the subject's face faces the lens, and the light illuminates three quarters of the face. The portrait shot by this light method resembles Rembrandt's portrait, hence the name.

Rembrandt lighting technology can split the subject's face in two, making the two sides of the face look different. If you use uniform overall lighting, both sides of the subject's face will look the same.

Rembrandt's lighting technology highlights the subtlety of each face, that is, the two sides of the face are different. The lighting effect can also be adjusted arbitrarily with auxiliary light according to the photographer's wishes. Although Rembrandt-style Gao Fancha lighting is very interesting, proper use of reflector and auxiliary light to minimize the contrast can achieve the effect of strengthening the whole portrait, thus making extraordinary works.

Generally speaking, Rembrandt needs two lamps for lighting, and the former Three Lamps District area is used to adjust the improved contrast. It can reflect some light to the dull side of the face. Lighting can shine light on the face of the subject through the reflector, which weakens the obvious Rembrandt triangle and brightens the overall tone of the portrait. Background light plays a role in brightening the background.

Application mode

When shooting, first turn on the 650 watt main light and adjust its angle, so that the Rembrandt triangle light is projected on the dark side of the subject's face. Then turn on the main soft light on the front and aim it directly at the bright side of the subject's face. It can illuminate the face of the subject and increase the depth, but the triangular bright area is still obvious.

Try to turn the subject's head until the light from Rembrandt Triangle shines on his cheek just right. And asked the subject's chin to tilt downward. The next step is metering, choosing the combination of aperture and shutter of the camera.

Finally, check the background to see if the lighting will leave a bright spot on the background, causing the camera lens to glow. It is also important to talk with the subject easily at the beginning of shooting, so that he can relax and smile. It must be remembered that in portrait photography, it is important not to let the effect of a skill exceed the expressive force of the subject's face.
