Photographic butterfly lamp

Rembrandt is a world-famous Dutch painter. Rembrandt lighting is a special lighting technology specially used to shoot portraits. When shooting, the shadow face of the subject's face faces the lens, and the light illuminates three quarters of the face. The portrait shot by this light method resembles Rembrandt's portrait, hence the name. ?

Rembrandt lighting technology relies on strong side light to make any side of the subject's face show a triangular shadow. It can split the subject's face in two and make the two sides of the face look different. If you use uniform overall lighting, both sides of the subject's face will look the same.

This lighting technique is quite effective because it highlights the subtlety of each face, that is, the two sides of the face are different. The lighting effect can also be adjusted arbitrarily with auxiliary light according to the photographer's wishes. Although Rembrandt's Gao Fancha lighting is very interesting, by properly using the reflector and auxiliary light to minimize the contrast, we can achieve the effect of enhancing the whole portrait, thus making extraordinary works. General Rembrandt-style lighting needs two lamps. After improvement, the first three light zones are added to adjust the contrast. Two lights? Among these lights, a 650-watt timely main light (A) is placed at the top left of the photographer and directly shines on the right side of the subject's face, just like his headlight? A soft light auxiliary lamp (B), except that the latter is placed on the photographer? Example c on the left is a white strip reflector placed on the left side of the object. ?

It can reflect some light to the case that the face is not illuminated. And then what? Can the light-emitting lamp (c) shine light on the face of the subject through the reflector? In fact, it weakens the obvious Rembrandt triangle and highlights the overall tone of the portrait.
