Characteristics of butterfly lighting method

Butterfly lighting method is characterized by highlighting the outline and shape of the subject, creating a mysterious and elegant atmosphere, and has a wide range of applications.

First, highlight the outline and shape.

The most striking feature of butterfly lighting method is that it can highlight the outline and shape of the subject. This lighting technology usually combines the main light source and the auxiliary light source. The main light source is used to illuminate the main body, while the auxiliary light source is used to outline the main body. By adjusting the position and brightness of the main light source and the auxiliary light source, the outline of the object can be more vivid and the shape more prominent.

This effect is especially obvious in portrait photography, which can make the facial outline of the character more three-dimensional and the lines of the character more beautiful.

Second, create a mysterious and elegant atmosphere

Another important feature of butterfly lighting method is that it can create a mysterious and elegant atmosphere. This lighting technology usually uses soft light to make the subject look softer and more natural. Because the light shines from different directions, the subject can have a three-dimensional sense, thus creating a mysterious effect.

In addition, because the light shines from different directions, it can also make the subject produce soft shadows, thus creating an elegant atmosphere.

Third, the scope of application is wide.

Butterfly lighting method is suitable for all kinds of photography, including portrait photography, product photography, architectural photography and so on. Whether shooting indoors or outdoors, butterfly lighting can be used to improve the quality and effect of photos.

Especially when shooting portraits, the butterfly illumination method can make the characters more three-dimensional, create an elegant and mysterious atmosphere and make the photos more artistic.
