What are the three lighting techniques of photography?

1, Three-lamp lighting is the most used and easy to master in portrait shooting. This three-lamp lighting method has the characteristics of many changes, rapid changes, flexibility and easy to master, and is generally easy to be accepted and welcomed by customers.

2. The three-lamp plane lighting scheme is widely used in portrait shooting, and the plane soft light is very suitable for expressing a bright, beautiful, ideal and harmonious artistic atmosphere. However, compared with three-dimensional lighting, the stereoscopic effect of the picture is worse, the subject is easy to get fat, and the possibility of shaping the subject with light is weaker. Three-lamp plane light distribution scheme is also called V-shaped light distribution.

3. When the light source comes from the left, the left side of the cube will be the brightest. When the light source is from top to bottom, the top of the cube will be brightest. The light source is also top-down. When we move the light source backward, the top of the cube is still the brightest, but the left and right sides will be darker. And we can move the light source left and right to control the brightness of the left and right sides. Of course, we can also control the brightness of the dark part by using the reflector.

4. Just like shooting a sphere, we can make the bright part of the cube overlap with the dark part of the background by changing the angle of the light source, and the dark part of the cube overlaps with the bright part of the background to construct the effect of separation from the background.

When the stereo is placed at a 45-degree angle, the left and right surfaces look the same size.

6. But when we rotate the cube, we can control the brighter side to look bigger. Or rotate in the opposite direction, we can make the darker side look bigger.

7. So just change the angle of the cube, you can control which faces look prominent and which faces look mysterious. How to choose the angle of placement depends on what kind of information your photo wants to express.
