Basic lighting skills for indoor shooting 1. Pre-planning:

1, original shooting intention: technology+art? teaching

Creators who are new to indoor portrait photography will have many doubts about the use and exposure of lighting. When facing the model, I don't know where the lamps should be arranged, whether it is left or right, high or low; I don't know what kind of light source, soft light source or hard light source; When metering, I am not very clear about the ins and outs of metering; The artistic treatment of clothing and makeup modeling needs more scrutiny. Therefore, when shooting this group of films, the main consideration is that the final image should be creative and provide some guidance and reference for participants.

2. The design of the early overall effect: the beauty of diversity.

Before shooting, take clothing, models and lighting as reference objects to grasp the whole, and try to make various elements set off each other in the same picture to produce a relatively comprehensive visual aesthetic feeling. Although there is a formal sense of clothing in the picture, the details of clothing are not the main body to be expressed. The model is a professional model with good expressive force. Therefore, the relationship between face and limbs, and the relationship between people and clothes need to be demonstrated in many aspects. The mastery of color and tone and the creation of atmosphere are the keys to the success of the film.

3. Lighting design: Where is the light? How are you? .

Use as few lamps as possible to achieve as many light and shadow changes as possible. A lamp, plus a reflector placed in a reasonable position, can shoot a picture with changing colors;

The placement of the two lamps can be varied, and with the application of different soft and hard light sources, there is more room for the description and shaping of modeling; In the case of no more than three lamps, the combination of soft and hard light sources, the control of irradiation angle, the application of honeycomb and baffle are more skillful and methods. Because it is both a creative film and a teaching film, the improvisation of lighting will be minimized.

4. Teaching plan: light modeling.

Starting with a single lamp, master the operation methods of incidence meter and reflectometer, and solve the problem of accurate exposure calculation from shallow to deep. The control of lighting directly affects the hue and color reproduction of the final picture, which will be the focus of this lesson. At the same time, it is necessary to analyze the positioning of makeup modeling according to the model's face and physical condition, master the communication methods with makeup personnel, and make the information as accurate as possible to realize the original design idea.

Second, the operation focus:

1, lighting: reasonable lighting.

The arrangement and control of lamp position is to realize the implementation of shooting plan purposefully, and every lamp has its reason.

2. Measurement: Measurement for change.

The focus of photometry is to master the data of reflected light.

With two lights, the main light in front is a soft light source, and the auxiliary light in the back is a hard light source, so the output should be different, so that the auxiliary light only plays the role of styling and separating the hair from the background, so the output should be small, so that the color tone changes more hierarchically.

When taking some pictures of facial details, the more photometric data of multi-angle and multi-region, the more vivid facial details can be displayed.
