How to shoot black clothes that are not exposed?

There is enough light in the studio, and the flash can be at the photographer's mercy. For ordinary physical photography, natural light is the main light source in most cases, and photographers can use flash or reflector as auxiliary light source. Shooting portraits indoors is inherently darker than outdoor light. What's more, the model is still dressed in black-it's even harder to take a layered view.

Therefore, when shooting portraits in ordinary rooms, photographers should focus on lighting and scenery, and try to use light and shadow to create a three-dimensional sense of portrait models. We can't make people look like "black" paper men just because models wear black clothes.

Studio shooting

If it's taken in a studio, it's okay for the model to wear black.

Studio shooting is shooting in the studio. Black itself belongs to the "achromatic family" and is suitable for people of all colors and shapes. It can be described as "a cure for all diseases."

Black clothes can also be designed into several styles for different audiences with different temperament. Because the audience is wide, correspondingly, the manufacturers of black clothes also need to find photography agencies to take pictures and promote them, so shooting black clothes in the studio is also a "compulsory course" for photographers.

When taking pictures in the studio, the lighting and scenery are controlled by the photographer. As long as the photographer is smart enough to fully understand the photographer's shooting needs, according to the photographer's guidance, it is basically no problem to take pictures of black clothes.
