Soft light lamp refers to a photographic lamp with soft light and no obvious shadow, which is suitable for reflecting the shape and color of objects and gives people a soft and delicate feeling. You can soften the light of the flash to make the photos look more natural.

Methods/steps

110 step by step reading

Generally speaking, soft light and hard light are actually the light quality of photographic light, which refers to the soft and hard characteristics of light. The direct light with strong directivity is generally called strong light, and the light that shines on the object after being blocked or reflected is called soft light.

2/ 10

The illumination distance of soft light is short, generally between 2.5 meters and 3 meters, which is not conducive to shooting large scenes.

3/ 10

Because there is no distinction between main light and auxiliary light, soft light is too uniform, often lacking texture, vivid shape and unclear lines. Lack of three-dimensional sense, too rigid

4/ 10

Soft light is stable in nature, and its beam completely meets the color temperature requirements required by the camera; Its luminous color temperature will not change with the change of brightness, so the color temperature of the shot picture is stable, the details are clear and the colors are realistic.

5/ 10

Because of its soft light, it illuminates people's faces very delicately, making the subjects feel very comfortable. The pictures taken are also more "natural" and "soft" and closer to real life.

1 soft light

This is the simplest and most commonly used, only a soft light is needed. You can choose to put it on the left or right side of the character. The soft light should be placed a little higher than the model and fall 45 degrees from it.

highlight

If you think it's too dark to use only one soft light, you can put a reflector opposite the main light. Refracting part of the light makes the details that need to be highlighted clearer and highlights the whole subject.

8/ 10

Mixed use of cold and heat

Soft light as the basic lighting and 800w/ 1000W red head spot lamp as the supplementary lighting of backlight and main light can make up for each other and achieve better results.

9/ 10

Illumination distance modeling

Soft light as the basic lighting, because the distance between the lamp and the object is different, the color tone will be different. For example, in the broadcast scene of news programs, the distance between the main light and the backlight and the photographed object can be set to two meters, and then the distance between the auxiliary light and the photographed object can be set to three meters, so as to achieve the specific purpose of breaking through the character modeling.

Adjusting light and shadow modeling

Use the change of light size to adjust the shape of light and shadow to achieve the desired effect. That is, soft light is used for basic lighting, and lamps with large wattage and many tubes are used for main light and backlight, such as 55W×8 lamps. In addition, lamps with small wattage and few tubes can be used as auxiliary lamps and decorative lamps, such as 36W×2 lamps. The background light can be adjusted according to the distance between the background film and the announcer. Generally speaking, news programs can use 36W×4 lamps.
