Shadow lighting name
Rembrandt is a Dutch painter. In his portraits, the light and shadow treatment of the characters' faces adopts a strong contrast effect. The light comes obliquely from the upper part of the figure, which makes the nose of the figure project and blend into the dark part, making one cheek of the figure form a triangular bright area. We usually see a projection under the nose in the sun, which will gradually lengthen with the position of the sun. This is a fact, but it is only required that no projection can be made. Because this kind of light effect can make people's faces have obvious three-dimensional sense, later photographers imitated the characteristics of Rembrandt's paintings and produced this method of using light, which can strengthen or weaken the contrast of light ratio according to the characteristics of different characters. For example, people with low noses or flat faces can take pictures with this lamp, which can make up for their defects visually.
Symmetrical lighting and butterfly lighting, commonly known as butterfly light, are a special way to use light in portrait photography.
Butterfly lamp, in a sense, is an inclined ceiling lamp, a way of using light in front light or in front light.
The method of arranging lights is more suitable for westerners and people with clear bones.
The usual way of butterfly light distribution is that the main light source is above the optical axis of the lens, that is, right in front of the subject's face. It projects a butterfly-shaped shadow under the nose, which brings a certain sense of hierarchy to the face.
Butterfly light is mostly used to represent women. After this light hits the model's face, the most obvious sign is that it will produce a butterfly-like shadow under the nose.
