Suggestions on the use of human photography

① Time: 7:00-9:00 a.m. and 3:00-5:00 p.m. The light source is soft and delicate.

② Use a reflector: The easiest way is to put the reflector near the seat of the plane, so that the soft light reflected by the reflector just shines on the face, which can increase the light on the face and create an irritating eye light.

3 use flash: you can drive away the thick projection on your face; You can also darken the background to make the photos more visually impactful.

(4) Under the sunny shadow: Under the sunny shadow, the shadow on the model's face can be eliminated. The key point is to find a place that is not too dark and receives light evenly, but to avoid the trees where the sun shines through the cracks in the trees, which will produce spots on the faces of the characters.

⑤ Set white balance: Set automatic or daylight mode.

①? Fill the light with a flash.

② Adjust the white balance.

③ Choose a suitable background: the background should be darker than the main body, so as to better highlight the face of the characters.

④ Large aperture shooting: You can adopt aperture priority mode and use large aperture with telephoto lens to obtain small depth of field and high shutter speed.

① Correct exposure: Follow the exposure rule of "white plus black minus", and add 1~2 exposure compensation when shooting.

1, main light: modeling light.

2. Auxiliary light: refers to the light corresponding to the main light used to illuminate the shadows in the picture. The purpose is to improve the brightness of the dark side of the subject and control the light ratio of the light and dark side. The brighter the auxiliary light, the smaller the light ratio. The darker the auxiliary light, the greater the light ratio. The auxiliary light usually uses soft scattered light, which is no stronger than the main light intensity and cannot interfere with the normal light efficiency of the main light. When using auxiliary lights, the position of the lights should be close to the camera, and the auxiliary lighting should be carried out from the front as far as possible. If lighting is carried out from the dark side, it will inevitably produce a secondary projection that contradicts the direction of the main light, which is neither real nor beautiful. When two lamps are used as auxiliary lamps, one lamp is placed at 90 ~ 120 as mentioned above, so that the light will be reflected on the shadow surface, and the dark surface will gradually transition from front to back, from near to far, which is helpful to express the three-dimensional sense and detail level of the shadow surface of the subject.

3. Side light: refers to the light placed on the back of the subject to outline the outline of the subject, which can be front backlight, side backlight and high backlight. ① Features: When the subject is irradiated from the lateral direction of about 150 ~ 180, bright contours can be formed on the hair, face circumference and shoulders of the subject when shooting people. (2) Function: Represent the contour features of the subject; A bright spot is formed in the outline to distinguish the subject from the background; Form a specific light effect and enhance the artistic expression of photos. Tips: it is appropriate to choose spotlights and 500W, and there should be a hood on the lights; The light level should not be too high, just a little higher than the subject to ensure that there will be no halo in the lens. This kind of light works best when reflecting hairy objects, clothes with a strong sense of fur, and heads.

4. Background light: refers to light that illuminates the background.

5. Decorative lamp: refers to the lamp that adds some auxiliary lights to the nature, color and shape of characters, costumes and props to highlight the details after the main light, auxiliary light, side light and background light are determined. Pay attention to the need to be consistent with the direction of the main light, which does not look like artificial traces and the light is unified.

1, butterfly lighting: it will form a butterfly-shaped shadow under the nose of the character and extend to the lips, hence the name, which mostly shows the elegance, romance and noble and elegant temperament of women.

①? Light distribution mode: the main light is placed above the lens optical axis and projected to the model's face at 45 degrees from top to bottom. The nose shadow effect is obvious when the main light is hard light. Shadows under a person's face should be filled with auxiliary light or reflectors. The auxiliary light is directly below the camera, illuminating the shadows of the neck and cheeks and adjusting the contrast. This kind of light is not suitable for models with deep eye sockets, otherwise it will form empty eye sockets because the light does not shine on the eyes. It is most suitable for shooting angular and slender women.

2, ring lighting: the shadow under the nose will form a small circle on the shadowed side of the face.

? ① Light distribution mode: the main light hits the main body with a highlight level of about 45, and the auxiliary light is added with a soft light box. Usually the auxiliary light is placed next to the camera, which is mostly scattered light. Auxiliary light can enhance the three-dimensional sense of the whole picture and enrich the picture level. Generally, another lamp can be used as side light, and the light level is backlight, which makes it feel spatial. Suitable for people with round faces, the right arc shadow projected under the cheekbones can make the face look thinner.

3. Rembrandt illumination: With strong positive illumination, triangular spots appear on either side of the subject's face.

? ① Light distribution method: strong light makes the color tone clear, and soft light makes the color tone soft, which can show a richer level. In Rembrandt lighting mode, contour light is often used to shape the contours on both sides of the face, create bright areas and enrich the color of the picture. The control of light ratio is the difficulty of Rembrandt lighting. When shooting, you should learn to use auxiliary light or reflector to control the light in bright and dark areas. When shooting women, the light ratio should be controlled around 1: 4. Male control is around 1: 16. For models with poor three-dimensional sense of nose or eyebrow bone, use Rembrandt light with caution.

4. Split lighting

? ① Light distribution method: Pay attention to using less hard light, that is, light that can produce light and dark shadows on the surface of the scene. Can make fat face thinner, wide nose narrower, suitable for people with strong personality or temperament.
