What kind of lights do indoor portrait photography usually use?

Indoor sheds usually use studio flash to take portraits. But a flash is not enough. It needs a big soft lampshade and some accessories, such as octagonal reflective umbrella, reflective KT board and radome. It depends on what kind of atmosphere you want to create. Generally, the light distribution is that the radome is the main light source on the left side of the model in front of the model, and the flash on the right side is added with a large soft light cover. A lamp lights up behind the model, illuminating the hair and outline. Reflective KT plates can be added on both sides of the model as required.

In 300 yuan, the price of indoor portrait photography lamp is 150 yuan, and the voltage of LED is about 2.5V, with different colors and different manufacturers. Generally, the working current is 10-20mA, so the power is about 0.025-0.05W An LED lamp consists of multiple light-emitting tubes, and the power can be 1 watt to several watts.

When shooting a person, the flash light may stay in the pupil of the eye, and then red eye will appear. Therefore, many camera manufacturers have added the function of "eliminating red eye" in their designs, and before turning on the flash, they will emit weak light to adapt the pupils, and then carry out real flash to avoid red eye. Generally, middle and low-grade digital cameras have three led flash modes, namely, automatic flash, red eye removal and off flash.

Lighting methods for indoor portrait photography;

1, the background light is used to put it on a low shelf, in the middle of the back of the main body, and its function is to help the color separation between the main body and the background.

2. Main light: Generally speaking, it is placed at a position higher than the head of the main body and forms an angle of about 45 with the axis of the camera and the main body. The way to prove whether this lighting arrangement is appropriate is to pay attention to the reflective points of the eyes. From the position of the camera lens, these reflection points should be located on the left and right sides of the eyes, which depends on the direction of the subject's face.

3. Auxiliary light: placed near the camera lens, at the same height as the lens, on the other side of the main light. If the subject's smile line causes an indecent shadow, it may be because the light used is related to the distance between the camera and the subject.

4. Lighting: This is a small lamp, which usually shines above or behind the subject. It is almost necessary to take portraits.
