Introduction to Crocodile Light

The crocodile light is also called the beauty light. It is a special way of using light in portrait photography. The usual lighting method of crocodile light is to shoot the model from the middle of two erected soft boxes. It is generally suitable for photographing soft and charming women. Because their eyes are more special, it is favored and imitated by many photographers and players. Crocodile light (high and low light) is a pretty good studio lighting based on butterfly light. It allows the character's face to receive soft and even illumination, and also produces light shadows on both sides of the cheeks to give the character a three-dimensional effect. When shooting with crocodile light, pay attention to two points: first, add reflectors on both sides of the character to reduce the light ratio and make the light transition more natural; second, the character should be located near the vertical intersection of the two light planes.
