What is the main difference between indoor photography and outdoor photography? What problems should we pay attention to?

1, different lighting methods

Because indoor photography has a large number of light sources, it will test the photographer's lighting technology, no matter the light, color and angle, there can be many changes. Indoor photography equipment needs at least three 400-watt tripod photography lights, preferably soft masks, condensing plates and so on.

Outdoor photography works can be taken naturally according to the natural conditions of the environment, and there is no need to bother to design the lighting environment or the conditions required for taking pictures such as backgrounds and scenes.

2. Use different lenses.

For indoor shooting, the standard wide-angle zoom lens is the most suitable in a narrow indoor space. If it is Canon 5D, the most suitable lens is EF 24~70mm F2.8USM L, and the lens range needs to be defined according to the studio size. In the studio, the largest F2.8 aperture will not be used, so if the cost is tight, there is no need to buy a lens with a constant F2.8 aperture.

Outdoor photography takes the long focal length lens as the main shooting lens (120 camera is about 250mm lens, or 135 camera is about 135 mm lens), taking its short depth of field function.

3. Different backgrounds

Background cloth is necessary for indoor shooting, including monochrome background cloth and theme background cloth.

Outdoor photography takes the scenery as the background, and no background cloth is needed.

4. Different photography styles

Indoor shooting and wind are mainly soft and comfortable, and the colors are light.

The photos taken by location photography are the freshest and most natural photos in all photographic works, which are widely loved by people.

5. Different requirements for the weather

Indoor shooting does not need to consider the weather.

Outdoor photography is very strict about the weather. Sunny day is a good day for outdoor wedding photography, and sufficient light and cheerful mood are one of the important guarantees for taking good photos. However, not all good photos can be taken casually on sunny days, and there are still many places to pay attention to. There are three points to note:

(1) sunshine

Direct sunlight is strong on sunny days, but it is difficult to take portrait photography under strong sunlight. So generally speaking, the position of the sun is relatively low, and the light is not very strong. When the sun is oblique, the brightness is moderate, unlike the ugly shadows that are easy to produce under the scorching sun at noon.

(2) cloudy days

For this reason, cloudy days are more suitable for portrait shooting than sunny days with strong sunshine. Cloudy days can achieve softer light reflection, make the subject's light reception more ideal, and can shoot all day without the interference of strong sunlight.

(3) Heavy fog

Of course, if it's foggy, rainy or cloudy, it's necessary to choose another day to shoot.

Problems needing attention:

Indoor photography is a relatively technical photography method, because it involves the combination of light and shadow. If you can't adjust the light well, you won't be able to take high-quality photos. Therefore, the biggest problem facing indoor photography is the problem of light.

The characteristics of location photography are: scenery, background environment, performance area, light and shadow color, specific atmosphere and so on. It is basically obtained by choosing, waiting and catching. On the basis of careful observation of the environment, the photographer worked out the location shooting plan and some preparatory plans with the director and production department.

In actual shooting, we usually shoot atmospheric shots, shots with strict requirements such as light, sky and clouds, and distant and panoramic shots that are difficult to borrow. Location shooting often needs to be decisive and shoot all kinds of pictures that meet the needs in time.
