How to make such a photo effect? Seek the guidance of the great god, and use the function of PS to make such an effect.

Do you provide different pictures? There are roughly two kinds:? Photography Skills (Backlight) Color Matching (Japanese Soft Color)

-such as the first picture? Not the PS effect? But photography skills: backlight-

Backlight technology is widely used in portrait shooting to create a fresh and warm atmosphere.

Most of the most common backlit portraits are taken with soft light at sunrise and sunset. It can be hair in the breeze, drawing a bright golden outline in the warm orange sunset, or it can be a glimpse of the holy light pouring down. When the girl in Huahai is bathed in the sunset and smiles, you can feel the temperature of her smile through the warm color of the backlight. Most importantly, a backlit portrait must let light enter the picture, so that the picture is full of light.

But portrait photography, after all, is not as beautiful as the scenery. I often hear film photographers who just started trying portrait backlighting complain about some problems:

Why is the face of my backlit portrait dead black?

As mentioned earlier, in order to ensure the brightness of the subject, when adjusting the exposure parameters, the subject should prevail. Backlight photography in portraits is usually to create the aesthetic feeling of the characters, so when we adjust the exposure, we must first consider whether the face of the characters is exposed correctly. At this time, you can try to measure the model's face with spot metering and increase the exposure appropriately. It is also a good way to brighten your face with a reflector.

Why is it difficult for me to focus on the backlight?

Slight out-of-focus often occurs due to too strong light when backlighting. At this time, you can open the screen to take a view, enlarge the picture, and twist the focus ring on the lens until the face of the person is clear (usually the eyes are clear).

Another simple trick is to "hide" the light source behind the model and aim at the focus without strong light interference. After focusing, the shutter keeps half-pressed and slightly translates, and then the shutter is pressed after the light source is emitted, which not only ensures the accuracy of focusing, but also achieves the aesthetic effect of large backlight.

Note that the key point of this move is "translation", and the shutter should be kept half-pressed during translation. This half-pressing method is actually similar to manually locking the focal length, and the focal plane will hardly change in the process of slight translation (be careful not to move back and forth, and the amplitude should not be too large), which ensures that the focus is still accurate. ?

The backlight is too strong. What if I can't see the screen clearly when shooting?

This problem can be effectively solved by opening the screen and enlarging the picture. When the backlight is too strong, you can avoid the strong light back and forth by changing the angle of the plane, so that you can shoot a successful high-value backlight portrait.

Unlike the warm orange light of the sunset, the backlight at noon is generally transparent white. However, if you shoot the backlight at this time, in order to ensure the brightness of the characters when adjusting the exposure, it is very likely that the background will be overexposed and pale. In order to solve this problem and ensure the softness of the picture, when the sun is strong, it is best to shoot a portrait with backlight indoors or in the shade to avoid direct light, especially when shooting indoor private photos, the soft white backlight outside the window wraps the whole body, giving the picture a pure hazy Japanese feeling.

The second kind? PS color matching? Usually my simple method is to overlay different solid color layers and adjust the layer blending mode and transparency.
