What kinds of shooting light are distinguished by angle? Briefly describe its characteristics

Shooting light can be divided into front light, oblique 45-degree side light, 90-degree side light, 45-degree side backlight and backlight.

The colors and shadows of smooth shooting on the front are mediocre, which is not an ideal shooting angle. The photos taken from this angle lack three-dimensional sense.

45-degree oblique light can effectively shoot the shadow of the subject and create a three-dimensional sense.

90-degree side light has the strongest shadow effect, which is generally not easy to use, and it is only used when some special ideas need to be expressed. But sometimes it's easier to express the texture of the object.

The 45-degree side backlight can effectively use the light of the light source to express the beauty of light.

Backlight photography will take a silhouette effect most of the time, unless a special filter is used.
