What terms should I know at least to be a photography assistant? thank you

The photography terminology upstairs is very detailed, and many of them have never been heard. When studying ...

I said that the photography assistants in several photo studios should all know (there may be differences, roughly):

1. lighting, in order to create a romantic and aesthetic feeling for photos, most wedding photo studios use large plane light to take photos, which is the simplest lighting method. In this light, the shadows on the nose and chin will only be weakened, making the picture soft.

Light distribution mode: the large light boxes on the left and right sides are used as the main light, the auxiliary light above the figure illuminates the hair, and the auxiliary light directly below removes the shadow of the chin and nose.

If the customer is plump, it is not suitable to use a large flat lamp, because the soft face looks more rounded. At this time, it is necessary to increase the light ratio, and the three-dimensional effect will come out when it is bright.

There are also some lighting special effects, there are too many methods, I want to write them all out and publish a book _

2, metering, because the flash lamp is currently unstable, especially domestic, so metering is often needed to adjust the light ratio. As a photo studio, pay special attention to the exposure of the face.

Generally, every flash is measured once, and the exposure of the face and head is measured from the position of the person.

3, film selection, let customers choose after filming,

This is not an assistant's job, but it often mobilizes all people to fight. When the noise is the loudest, don't go up if you think the customer's appearance is not flattering. It's a place where you can only say good things.

4, reflector, outdoor lighting, outdoor location (taking pictures outside), the assistant handles the most things, in order to weaken the contrast.
