Why is there pockmarked on the face of external flash photography?

Answer; Being able to shoot portraits beautifully is probably the goal that every photographer wants to achieve. Whether the object is a woman or a child, the behavior of photographing the charm of the characters is completely consistent. Portrait photography requires a lot of skill. Next class we will continue to discuss the most important light factor.

Because of shooting in the bright sun, the characters are directly exposed to the sun, and strong shadows appear under the nose and near the neck. Therefore, reversing the position of the camera and the person eliminates the shadow on the face, and the light is very suitable. Coupled with the reflector, the skin color is more beautiful. The expression of the characters has also softened and they feel a different person. Light also plays an important role in portrait photography.

Pay special attention to the shadows under the nose and neck.

Understand that sometimes backlighting is more beneficial than smoothing.

You can use a reflector to brighten your eyes.

Shooting along the light-the face shadow is too strong for portrait photography. This is the situation that light illuminates the subject from the front, and the use of light is very traditional. But when taking portraits, because of the big contrast, it can't be said to be very suitable. The legend is also illuminated by the strong light in front, and strong shadows appear under the nose and around the neck. And because the characters are illuminated by strong light from the front, their expressions look a bit dazzling. When the weather is fine, according to the lighting conditions, it is easy to create a blunt impression, so you need to pay more attention.

Backlight shooting-the characters are not dazzling, the expression is softer, and they are shot by changing positions. This kind of light is called backlight. The characteristic of backlight is that the subject is not directly exposed to the sun, so there will be no strong shadow. And because it is not dazzling, the expression of the characters is softer, which is suitable for portrait photography. Because of the reflected light, the hair will also show highlights. At this time, the camera will regard the indirect light irradiated by the character as exposure value. If you feel dark, you can add some exposure compensation to brighten it.

Backlight+reflector shooting-Flexible use of the advantages of backlight, professional use of light to maintain the state of backlight, adding reflector between camera and characters. This can combine the advantages of backlight and smooth light to make the characters more beautiful. Due to the reflection of the reflector, the eyes will increase the highlight and the skin color will be more vivid, which is a common professional lighting method in portrait photography.
