Common light levels in commercial photography

Light levels commonly used in commercial photography: front light (front light), side front light (oblique side light), photometry, side backlight (reverse side light, backlight), backlight (backlight), top light, foot light, etc. Different lighting levels can produce different lighting effects. Considering the light consumption, the effect should be enhanced by different light level combinations. Angle of light level of extended data shooting: 1. Smoothing: the direction of light projection is consistent with the direction of camera shooting; 2. Side light: lighting when the light projection direction makes an angle of about 45 degrees with the camera lens; 3. Photometry: The light projection direction and shooting direction form illumination of about 90 degrees; 4. Side backlight: the light projection direction and shooting direction form illumination of about 135 degrees; 5. Backlight: From the back of the subject; 6. Top light: light from above the subject; 7. Footlight: A light that illuminates the subject from below.
