How to deal with the relationship between light and background in photographic lighting

When dealing with light and background, shadow cloth should choose appropriate light source and angle, make rational use of shadow, and pay attention to the direction and texture of light.

1, select the appropriate light source and angle.

The choice of light source and the adjustment of angle are the key factors affecting the relationship between light and background. Soft light (natural light) can make the background softer, while strong light can highlight the texture and details of the background. The angle of the light source also affects the brightness and color of the background. Photographers can control the exposure and color of the background to better highlight the theme.

2. Make rational use of shadows

Shadow is an important means to show the relationship between light and background. By controlling the shape, size and position of shadows, photographers can create different visual effects. Shadow can be used to attract the audience's attention to the theme when shooting, or to emphasize some parts of the background through shadow. Pay attention to avoid shadows interfering with the theme.

3. Pay attention to the direction and texture of light.

The direction and texture of light will also affect the relationship between light and background. The front light can reduce the shadow on the theme surface and make the background more prominent. Side light can emphasize the outline and texture of the theme, and backlight can turn the background into a bright halo. Different visual effects can be created according to different themes and themes.

The skill of photography

1, master the basic composition rules.

Composition is the basis of photography, and good composition can make photos more layered and aesthetic. The basic composition rules include symmetry, golden section and frame, which can help photographers to better arrange the position and proportion of the theme when shooting and make the photos more harmonious.

Step 2 use light

Light is the soul of photography, and different light can produce different effects. Photographers should be good at using natural light and artificial light, master the direction, intensity and color of light, and create different atmospheres and effects. Soft light can produce soft and natural effects, while strong light can highlight contours and details.

3. Post-processing

Post-processing is an important link to improve the quality of photos. By adjusting the parameters such as color, contrast and sharpness, we can improve the exposure, color and definition of photos and make them more perfect. Using some special effects, HDR and saturation adjustment can also make photos more artistic.
