How to use Rembrandt-style light

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.
