1, turn up the aperture. Generally, the wider the aperture range of a lens shot in low light, the better, such as 50mm f/ 1.8. Some manufacturers can make the aperture bigger, such as f/ 1.4, to make the shooting effect better in low light.

If you are considering taking pictures in a narrow space, try to find a higher place. And open the aperture to blur the background, so as not to capture too many details, and its purpose is to make the subject stand out from the background.

2. Using a slightly higher ISO allows the camera to capture image details. Because it works in low light, it may be necessary to adjust ISO to a higher level. Of course, if the ISO is high, there will be some noise, but don't worry. Because adjusting the optimal shutter speed is enough to compensate for the part, too much ISO noise is eliminated.

3. If the image is highlighted, the subject must face the light source, and the light will be projected on the subject's face, both of which are reflections of the subject in the mirror. From the mirror to the subject, or in the case of optical glasses, the lens of the glasses is reflected to make the image look more eye-catching.

4. Try to avoid busy people. Many portrait photographers choose to stay away from the bustling crowd because they may be distracted. It's a bit difficult to find a place where there aren't too many people. It takes a little time to take a few photos before shooting to find the best effect.

5. Adjust the white balance manually. Don't use automatic mode to shoot under multi-color lights. Therefore, manually adjust the tone, intensity or balance. In this way, the image will be closer to reality, not too blue or too yellow.

6. Take photos with RAW files because RAW files store the most image data, so we can edit files efficiently. In which images are sometimes adjusted on the computer after shooting. When you look at the back of the camera, you may see some details, and RAW can collect these details well, which also helps to simplify the process of adjusting images and colors.

But if you shoot at night, the lights on these billboards will be on and the signs in the store will be clearer, so you must wait for the opportunity and opportunity to shoot.

9. Take a variety of angles to create new features and try to find interesting shooting angles, such as Zuo Li or standing to take photos, and get an image different from the eye level, because usually the human eye will see the normal line of sight; Therefore, shooting from different angles is helpful to attract people's attention to the captured image.
