What practical skills are there when portrait photography is used up?

Photographic light is divided into smooth light, background light and side background light.

In the case of smooth light, taking photos with the camera's metering mode will generally be exposed correctly, but the photos are relatively dull.

The photos taken by backlight and side backlight have better light and shadow effects. But photometry is more troublesome. Teach you a little trick to draw up the effect.

Taking pictures under backlight conditions is mainly due to underexposure. Usually, we say black. How to solve it?

1. If the portrait is close to the camera and the background is clear, it is a good idea to use flash to compensate.

2. Use spot metering method to aim at the subject for metering, and the photos taken will have unexpected effects.

3. Exposure compensation in normal metering mode can also solve the problem that the subject cannot be exposed.

By mastering these photometry methods, you can use the field light flexibly and take good photos.
