The advantage of large plane light is that it can highlight the three-dimensional sense.

"The advantage of a large flat lamp is that it can highlight the three-dimensional effect." This sentence is wrong.

Big flat light means that two flashlights with soft boxes are set on the left and right sides of the camera, and only two lights are used to project the moon from the left and right angles, at the same height as the head light source. This projection method has no three-dimensional sense and layering, and there is no light bar. Only the eyeliner, nostril and mouth line are exposed, and the nose is flat. Nowadays, many ID photos use this light, and so do wedding photos. But not for publicity, just for light exposure.

Big flat light is the most basic way to learn how to use light in portrait photography, and it is also commonly used in studio photography. Therefore, the large flat lamp is also loved by portrait photographers, especially in the wedding photo studio, which is the most commonly used to shoot the bride.

Generally, a flat lamp consists of 5 to 6 lamps, including an exhibition background, people and cameras, plus a main lamp, an auxiliary lamp (also called auxiliary lamp), a floor lamp and a ceiling lamp. Background light is usually one or two lights. The plane of the flexible box is facing the object (up, down, left and right), and the curved surface is connected with the curved surface. The portrait picture taken by large plane lighting method is clear and soft, and the whole picture is exposed evenly, which plays a role in eliminating some defects in the face of the person.

Shooting skills:

Soft light is used to shoot objects with high reflectivity. Soft light refers to the light that does not produce obvious shadows on the subject, and the color of the picture taken is dull. It belongs to diffuse light, and the direction of light source is not obvious.

Use hard light to highlight the three-dimensional sense of still life. The object photographed by strong light has obvious shadow, and the object photographed has obvious backlight surface and light receiving surface, so the obtained picture has great contrast between light and shade. When using this effect to shoot rough objects, it can well express the texture of the objects and highlight the three-dimensional sense of the subjects.

Clever polishing can highlight the metallic texture. The metal surface is easy to reflect light, which will reflect the objects in the surrounding environment to the metal surface. Therefore, shooting metal is generally operated in a dark environment, and the fully enclosed or semi-enclosed lighting can achieve the ideal effect.

Backlight shows the transparent texture of glass. Backlight shooting is a shooting method that puts the subject between the camera and the light, which belongs to the light that is difficult to master.

Create a three-dimensional sense with shadows. Shadow is a means for photographers to describe the three-dimensional properties of objects, which can make objects show a sense of space in photos, not just the projection of objects on the plane. Similarly, side light, top light and bottom light can cast deep and long shadows on objects, thus creating a three-dimensional sense.
