How to take good photos with lighting?

Creators who have just come into contact with portrait photography in the studio will have many doubts about the use and exposure of lighting, and they don't know where the lamps should be arranged, whether it is left or right, high or low; I don't know what kind of light source, soft light source or hard light source; The lighting is "good"

Use as few lamps as possible to achieve as many light and shadow changes as possible.

A lamp, plus a reflector placed in a reasonable position, can shoot a picture with changing colors;

The placement of the two lamps can be varied, and with the application of different soft and hard light sources, there is more room for the description and shaping of modeling;

In the case of no more than three lamps, the combination of soft and hard light sources, the control of irradiation angle, the application of honeycomb and baffle are more skillful and methods. Cloth lamp:

Reasonable lighting.

The arrangement and control of lamp position is to realize the implementation of shooting plan purposefully, and every lamp has its reason.

2. Measurement:

Measure the change of light.

The focus of photometry is to master the data of reflected light.

For example, when taking a photo, according to the readings measured from the white background, the data gap between it and the foreground clothing and the skin color of the model is analyzed, so as to decide whether the light output to the background is increased or decreased.

When shooting fig. 3, the data change of reflected light is directly reflected in the result of tone control. With two lights, the main light in front is a soft light source, and the auxiliary light in the back is a hard light source, so the output should be different, so that the auxiliary light only plays the role of styling and separating the hair from the background, so the output should be small, so that the color tone changes more hierarchically.

When taking some pictures of facial details, the more photometric data of multi-angle and multi-region, the more vivid facial details can be displayed.
