How the lighting in the studio works in different situations.

How to play the lighting in the studio in different situations;

1, main light source

The main light is the main light that illuminates models and shapes characters in portrait photography in studio. The main light determines the distribution of the bright and dark areas of the whole character. Whether it is soft light or hard light, the main light has strong directivity, and its light level determines the light effect of the photo. Therefore, the position of the main light, even a small change in the distance from the model, may affect the sunlight and even the overall effect of the photo. In the process of lighting, the main light is the priority factor, and the auxiliary light should be consistent with the color tone of the main light.

The light addition is more uniform and easy to control.

2. Auxiliary lights

As the name implies, auxiliary light is a light source to supplement the dark or shadow parts in the picture. Its existence maintains the balance of light in the picture and avoids excessive contrast. The brightness ratio of main light and auxiliary light is called light ratio, and the brighter the auxiliary light, the smaller the light ratio of the picture.

The illumination direction of the auxiliary light is mostly near the axis of the digital SLR camera, so as to avoid a large deviation from the illumination angle of the main light, resulting in messy picture projection. The auxiliary light is mostly soft light, mainly with uniform supplementary light.

3. effect light

Effect light's main function is to emphasize the theme, decorate the human body or cover up the defects. Profile light can better highlight people, generally projecting from 150 degrees to 170 degrees, thus forming bright contours on the side hair, face, shoulders and trunk of people. Compared with contour light and other effect lights, it can highlight people more effectively and increase the artistic expression of photos.

4. Background light

Background light The light source used to illuminate the background alone is called background light. The function of background light is to separate features from the background, so as to better express and highlight people and increase the three-dimensional sense of the picture. Background light only illuminates the background. Generally, one or more flashlights alone complete the task of creating night light. Background light can control the brightness of the background. According to the needs of shooting, the background light can be soft light or hard light. Soft light is mostly used to create a pure background with relatively high brightness, while hard light is mostly used to create a fashionable and avant-garde facula background. In order to set the background light, the model should keep a certain distance from the background when lighting. It is necessary to use the background light to make the main image laugh and purify the background, thus increasing the appeal of the picture.

5. Light ratio

In portrait photography in the shed, two flashlights or two flashlights plus several reflectors are often used. Therefore, there is often a clear difference between the light intensity of the bright and dark sides of the figure. The light intensity ratio of the light and dark side of the figure becomes the control of the light ratio, which can create a more auspicious effect when shooting. Common light ratios are 65,438+0: 65 and 438+0: 2. 1:4. After the light distribution is completed, the light ratio of different light receiving surfaces of the model can be measured conveniently with an exposure meter. When the light ratio is small, the light angle is gentle, which is conducive to shooting feminine themes; When the light is large, the three-dimensional sense of the characters is strong, which is beneficial to the female portrait photos showing the specific themes and styles of male characters.
