Indoor portrait lighting in the studio

Photography skills: lighting classic portrait lighting shoots indoor portrait lighting in the actual studio. Let me take you to get to know it.

In the studio, double lamps are used for portrait lighting and soft boxes are used for leveling.

Put two flashlights with soft boxes in front of the model and turn them into 45? The light distribution method of shooting angle is affectionately called by photographers? Butterfly light? . This light distribution method makes full use of the characteristics of soft light, which can soften people's skin and is generally suitable for shooting female portraits. The light distribution mode of two flashlights with soft light and bow left and right leaves no shadow on the model's face. This way of light distribution is common in artistic photo shooting in the studio. A similar lighting method is to use two flashlights, up and down 45? Corner layout? Crocodile lamp? . No matter what? Butterfly light? Or? Crocodile lamp? Both of them are primary lighting methods, and the photos taken by these two lighting methods can often win the favor of the model itself, but they also have certain limitations. First of all, it is difficult for Asian black hair to show rich details in this way of lighting. Darkness? . Secondly, although soft skin without light and shadow changes is eye-catching but lacks realism, it is easy to give people a flashy feeling. Too sweet to be bored? Visual experience.

The portraits in the studio are illuminated by a single lamp and a reflector to create a perfect makeup.

This example introduces a classic light distribution method, which uses high-position single lamp and soft light box, and uses low-position reflector to fill the light, perfectly representing the skin of the model, while retaining the necessary three-dimensional sense of the model's face.

This way of lighting is widely used in fashion magazines and many cosmetics advertisements. Its advantages are outstanding, and it can perfectly express the skin texture of characters and the three-dimensional sense of facial features. This effect comes from the light projection in the high position and the light supplement in the low position reflector. The reflector and the single lamp on it make people's face and clothes have obvious contrast and layering, and overcome the shortcomings of flat light. In the choice of soft box, try to choose a larger octagonal soft box if possible to make the light more uniform. At the same time, the shape of the flexible box indirectly determines the shape of the eye light in the model eyeball.

The indoor portraits in the studio are illuminated, and the light creates a charming light.

In outdoor natural light portrait photography, the model's hair can be brightened and beautiful light lines can be created by using backlight conditions, and in the studio, beautiful light lines can also be created by using auxiliary light sources.

In this case, the light distribution method is to use a flashlight with a soft box in front of the model as the main light, and its task is to illuminate the front and face of the model. At the same time, a flash lamp is arranged above the oblique rear of the model to illuminate the hair of the model from the oblique rear angle. The principle of light distribution is very similar to that of backlight shooting in natural light photography, except that the reflector in front of the figure is replaced by a flash, and the flash behind the figure is replaced by a flash.

The lighting method of using auxiliary light source to create light is not only established in this lighting method, but also can be applied to many other lighting methods. There can be only one flash or two left and right flashes to create light, and photographers need to learn and use it in real shooting.

The double soft boxes used for portrait lighting in the studio create a high-profile light overflow effect.

This high-profile photo shoot is very interesting. The photographer guides the model to lean against a big soft box, and at the same time stands another big soft box in front of the model, with the first soft box and the subsequent flash as the background, and the soft box of another flash? Face to face? . When the photographer presses the shutter, the camera flashes the flash behind the model through the flasher, and the soft box becomes the pure background in the picture under the strong light. At the same time, the outline and skin texture of the model are outlined by highlights, which may even produce a kind of? Overflow? This method can convey the sacred and mysterious visual meaning. There are two points to note. First of all, this method requires a higher quality of the photographer's lens. In addition, this method is not conducive to expressing colorful shooting themes.
