How should children's photography be illuminated?

1, children's photography light skills, that is, light is used less than side light. Because it flattens the facial contour and does not emphasize the facial structure; Side light can emphasize the contour of the face, and can selectively narrow or widen the face with light. When using weak auxiliary light, the side light will create a bright light and shadow effect, with bright highlights and heavy shadows. The two lights are evenly distributed at 45 degrees from left to right. This light is soft and symmetrical. There is no heavy shadow. If it is matched with a light background, the tone will be brighter, which is suitable for taking high-profile photos, but the three-dimensional sense of the characters will be weakened, so the position intensity and light quality of the light should be determined according to the specific shooting situation.

2. Considering the children's lively and active characteristics, when adopting this light distribution form, the soft light box can be used as the main light to provide children with a wider range of irradiation area and expand the activity space, so as to ensure that children can also be caught in the dynamic. Xi An open sesame suggested that, generally speaking, the intensity of the auxiliary lamp is 1-2 blocks weaker than that of the main lamp, or the two lamps are separated by a certain distance, which can not only provide softer and more uniform supplementary light for the dark part, but also maintain proper contrast between light and shade.

3. Clamp the lamp up and down, that is, put the two lamps up and down respectively. The high light can express the three-dimensional sense of the figure, and the light irradiated from below can provide appropriate supplementary light for the figure and eliminate the shadow formed by the high light under the nest nose. Considering the height of the child and the height of the lamp. If you use two soft boxes with the same power to take photos with bright tone and bright skin color; You can also use a reflector instead of the lamp below to fill the light and keep a proper shadow on people's faces, so that the five senses are more three-dimensional.
