How to use up the light correctly in portrait photography.

1, lighting skills of natural light portraits

Shadows reflect and set off highlights, and proper shadows can make objects more stereoscopic and rich. So there is no need to avoid shadows, but to use shadows when understanding the knowledge of hue and light level.

In addition, the use of side light or side backlight can enhance the three-dimensional sense of people and enrich the picture level. When the side backlight is used, normal face exposure can be ensured and the skin can be transparent.

2. The method of aesthetic backlight

Grasp the best shooting time: 65438+ 0-2 hours before sunset. Use people or surrounding objects to block the backlight and control the light leakage degree of the light source to balance the light ratio.

Side backlight: the backlight is not in the picture, which is relatively difficult to shoot and easy to grasp, and the side light of the character is good.

Positive and negative light: it is difficult to shoot the lens directly with negative light source, which requires better weather and lighting conditions, and cooperate with the shooting method of blocking the light source and leaking some light.

3. The light of eyes is very important.

Use a reflector to make the eyes glow. At the same time, the light of the eyes can also reflect the light distribution of a photo. Combined with the color of the face, we can see where the main light source is and whether there is supplementary light.

The fill light equipment is LUXCEO Lexo LED ring fill light P0 1. I believe that many people have the trouble that their eyes will hurt after using the fill light for a long time, and the color temperature range of P0 1 ring light is 3000K-6000K, which is soft and not dazzling, and can also bring unique and beautiful eyes with small aperture, making eyes more charming. Its brightness and color temperature adjustment can meet the shooting needs of different scenes.

4. Tone and light level

Tone refers to the state of an object in light, which is divided into five major tones: highlight, dark part, gray surface, reflective surface and projection. No matter how complex the object is, it always follows the law of five tones. The structure of human face is much more complicated than that of eggs, but it still follows the tone law. Tone is the reason why objects have three-dimensional sense and texture, so a very important factor affecting tone is the level of light.
