Many photographers do not like to shoot in the horizontal light. The main reason is that they think the light and shadow shot in the horizontal light are too smooth. The light and shadow levels of the films shot are relatively average and the three-dimensional sense is not strong.
However, straight-light shooting has a very good advantage, that is, the color restoration is better, and white balance is automatically used to obtain the light and color temperature effect during shooting, with clear layers and good texture.
2. Side light or side backlight is very conducive to shaping a three-dimensional feeling
If you think the light and shadow are too smooth when shooting the light and shadow in the face light, then side light or side backlight is a good choice. If the angle between
and the camera position is less than 90°, it belongs to the side light, and if it is greater than 90° and less than 180°, it belongs to the side backlight . Both light rays in light can illuminate the subject from the side, and can create a certain shadow area for the subject, thereby producing light and shadow.
When using side light or side backlight, two points should be paid attention to: one is the shooting angle, and the other is the control of light ratio.
3. When shooting backlight, fill-light shooting can get a good texture, and direct shooting can get a good sense of atmosphere
backlight is a shooting subject that photographers prefer.
In the field of portrait photography, backlight portrait shooting is roughly divided into two ways: fill-light shooting and direct shooting.
For example, the above picture is filled with reflector . Although the merceration is also obvious, the texture and details of the model's front are also well reflected due to the fill light.
Photo 2 was taken by the sun, the light was almost down, the light was already very weak, and the effect of filling light on the reflector was not very good, so it was taken directly without filling light. It can be seen that the feeling of dusk created by the sunset at this time is very charming and full of atmosphere.
4. You can also take portraits when the sun is on top of the sky at noon. As long as the venue is suitable,
Photographers will hardly choose to go out to shoot at noon. First of all, the temperature is relatively high at this time; secondly, the light and shadow brought by light are generally not good-looking, especially when shooting portraits.
But this does not mean that you can’t take portraits at noon. Although the light and shadow generated by the subject during top light shooting is not good, it can produce mottled light and shadow in scenes like the grove. Whether it is portraits or other shooting subjects, the filming effect is also very good.
and above analyze some tips for applying light in actual shooting. What is the actual effect? This requires photographers to practice it themselves.
shooting angle, focus and metering points, the shooting results are also different. This is the diversity of light shooting and one of the charms of photography.
