Light distribution in portrait photography

Simply put, it is M-file, no one is like it, and the shutter speed must be controlled within 200. Because the flash synchronization rate of studio lights is basically within 1/200 seconds, the shutter speed is suggested to be1160, and the aperture is suggested to be measured with an exposure meter or tried several times by yourself. If it is fully lit from 300 W to 600 W, the aperture is F8-060.

Basic lighting: Butterfly lights are often used for portraits. The usual lighting method of butterfly lamp is that the main light source is above the lens optical axis, that is, right in front of the subject's face, and it projects a shadow on the person's face from top to bottom at 45 degrees, which looks like a butterfly and gives a certain layering to the person's face. This is more suitable for angular faces, similar to Europeans and Americans.

If you want to highlight the artistic effect, you can make a so-called yin-yang face from the side, but this effect is very different from the so-called yin-yang face outdoors.

Sometimes you can also use positive light to play obliquely downward and add a reflector to make up for the shadow. You can also do backlight simulation in the background. There are too many ways to practice by yourself.

But lighting is a science, which can be divided into: lighting, background lighting, eye lighting, main lighting, auxiliary lighting and reflector. Lighting is a deep knowledge, which can't be explained clearly in a few words, so you really need to read it yourself, then understand it, and achieve the desired effect through different combinations.
