The meaning of the word photo in Japanese classic and fashion are two completely different concepts, but they are not opposed to each other. People who enthusiastically pursue classical culture are generally elegant, noble and refined; People who pursue fashion are often more popular. But generally speaking, classical culture is an excellent culture, because it has withstood the test of history and stayed in real life. However, fashion culture is mixed, and most of it can't be passed on to future generations.

At present, teenagers are the main people who pursue classical culture and fashion culture, while the elderly pay more attention to traditional culture. Generally speaking, "tradition" is popular and "classicism" is authoritative. "Tradition" and "classicism" are closely related, but there are some differences. Classical culture generally has the characteristics of tenderness, beauty, solemnity and implication. Teenagers should pay attention to take the essence and discard the dross. It is normal for teenagers to pursue fashion culture. However, fashion culture is vulgar culture after all and cannot be passed on to future generations, so teenagers can't pursue fashion too crazily and can't chop and change.

The popularity of Qing palace costumes for Qing palace dramas in recent years can be seen. People like Qing Palace dramas, and they also like Qing Palace costumes, such as Zhen Xuan on our plate. Compared with the Han, Tang and Qing dynasties, there are still many people who like Qing. Taking a fashion photo often doesn't require complicated and luxurious scenes. In the studio, using simple background, fully mobilizing the lights and making good use of the existing conditions, we can realize various visual creativity and take photos of the dispatched people. Among them, combining distinctive modeling colors with individual lighting effects can not only achieve a strong artistic atmosphere, but also increase the visual intensity of photos, thus greatly improving the attractiveness of portrait works. It is a very important way to emphasize the color light effect in photos, contrast characters with color forms and shoot fashion photo films. The tone of the photo, the atmosphere of the environmental color, the color modeling of the main body of the character, the cooperation of the color light plate, and the different light processing methods will all have an impact on the final effect of the photo. The following points deserve our attention.

1. Color should be used as a means to express the theme and an important factor to infect others emotionally. The key to the application of color lighting effect is that each element must be able to highlight the theme and control the collocation and integration of each element to achieve unity and harmony. Seeking simplicity in complexity and individuality in simplicity is also the difficulty and focus of shooting.

Using the light with a slightly higher main light position can fully express the skin and modeling color of the characters, and can also obtain more three-dimensional light and shadow; The 45 front light has a certain lighting area, which is beneficial to the expression of color, and also makes the face have a concave-convex three-dimensional sense and a richer tone level. Pay special attention to the accuracy of exposure when using backlight and side backlight light distribution.
