How to make strong light in photography?

1, split lighting

Gu Ming is incredible, that is, dividing his face into two parts, one bright and the other dark, will create a strong sense of drama, which is suitable for people with strong personality or temperament, such as artists and musicians. Of course, masculinity will be heavier.

In order to create this effect, the light source is placed at 90 degrees on the left or right side of the object and can be moved forward or backward slightly to adapt to different shapes. Note that the light must change with the face of the object, and the light will change with the rotation of the head.

2. Ring lighting

This method can make the nose cast some shadows on the cheeks. In order to achieve this effect, the light source should be slightly higher than the plane of the eyes and camera by 30-40 degrees. (depending on the specific face shape)

This is a very common technique, but the common mistake is that the reflector is placed too low and the light hits the nostrils, which can not produce the ideal effect.
