Three kinds of lights in the three lighting methods refer to

The three lights in the three-light distribution method refer to: main light, side light and auxiliary light.

Three-lamp illumination method

This kind of lighting is not only a classic of video lighting.

The use of plane photography is also very classic.

So photography and video sometimes have the same lighting.

For example, we shoot interviews and explain.

In any case, the subject must first stand in a fixed position.

Put the camera in the right place.

Then start to arrange the lamps.

Main light: main light

That is, the first lamp we lit.

Mainly determine the main direction of the light source and control the direction of the shadow.

And the softness and hardness of light.

Black light: profile light

The side backlight separates the main body from the background.

Play a role in outlining the edge.

Of course, it can also make the hair layered, so

It can also be a headlight or a side light.

Fill light: auxiliary light

The function of this lamp is to fill.

Shaded parts make shadows less dense.

Dimming the light is to make the dark place light up.

But its brightness cannot exceed that of the main lamp.

Let's take a look at this photo.

KEY= main light edge = side light filling = auxiliary light

On the far left is the main lighting effect.

The middle is the main light+side light.

On the far right is the main light+side light+auxiliary fill light.

Look, everyone has his own role.

Instead of letting Three Lamps District make up for Three Lamps District.

Of course, the three-lamp classic is universal lighting.

If photography is like this, there is no personality.

On this basis, it can be changed flexibly.
