How to take a location wedding photo naturally?

1, strength

During the day, the light intensity is the weakest around sunrise and sunset, and the strongest at noon. Too strong and too weak light intensity will cause color difference and level loss, which is not conducive to the performance of characters. Therefore, when shooting at this time, it is necessary to "adjust" the intensity of light by appropriate means, that is, to supplement or shade the subject with tools. The light intensity changes with time in the morning and afternoon, which is relatively balanced, with high brightness of people and scenery, moderate contrast and bright colors, and is suitable for outdoor shooting. The light is mild and influenced by weather factors. The light intensity is high in sunny days, followed by cloudy days, and the rain and snow weather is weaker. It depends on the specific circumstances and needs of shooting to decide how to adjust.

2. Light quality

The soft and hard properties of outdoor natural light are mainly divided into: hard light on sunny days; Scattered soft light formed in cloudy and cloudy days and scattered soft light formed in shadows. Direct hard light has obvious directionality, bright contrast between light and dark, and obvious contrast effect, which can well express the level details, three-dimensional sense and texture. However, if the illumination angle is too high (such as the ceiling lamp at noon) or the illumination intensity is too high (such as the sunshine in summer), it is difficult to get a correctly exposed picture. At this time, it is necessary to "transform" the natural light quality by appropriate means, that is, to reduce the intensity of direct light by shielding. Scattered light, the light intensity is soft and uniform, and the contrast of the formed image is not big, which is very suitable for taking wedding photos, and the depiction of figures and white gauze is very delicate. If it is on a cloudy day (with thick clouds), before and after sunrise and sunset (with weak light intensity) or in a scene where the light is completely blocked (such as a dense forest), it is difficult to show the three-dimensional sense and sense of space that the scenery in the photographed environment should have. At this time, it is necessary to use appropriate means to "create" the effect of light, that is, to illuminate people or the environment with artificial light sources.
