Skills of using light

Skills of using light:

Use the intensity of light to make the subject stand out: if the light is close to the subject, the intensity of luminosity between the subject and the background will be more obvious; If the light is far away from the subject, the background will light up accordingly, and the subject will not stand out like that.

tip: if the front light of the subject comes from the window, let the subject be close to the window, and the background will be darkened. If you want to make the indoor background brighter, you should keep the subject away from the window and close to the background.

Side light can strengthen the texture of the subject

Portrait photographers usually shoot the light source at the face of the subject, so that the wrinkles of the subject will not be so prominent. Landscape photographers prefer to use side light to enhance the texture of rocks, sand and leaves. Generally speaking, the greater the oblique angle between the light direction and the subject, the more obvious the texture of the subject.

Tip: If you want to photograph your pet's furry Mao Mao, you'd better knock off the light source from the side, which is better than using the front light source and can make Mao Mao more obvious.
