Writing stairs portrait shooting skills

Lead: The biggest feature of the stairwell in the office building is that the light is too dark. Only a dim light source in the corner of each floor can only illuminate a very narrow area. The main point of shooting is to expand the sense of space in the shooting environment and reduce the sense of depression caused by too dark light. Let's take a closer look!

Basic skill: direct flash creates spotlight effect

If the flashlight holder flashes upward, it will light up the whole stairwell space, but this will make the model and stairwell lose the gradual change of light and the sense of depth of the space. It is worth mentioning that the location of the stair stool made by the model is very important. It is suggested that the model sit at the bottom of the stairs. Choose such a position, the shooting position is parallel to the model's position, aim at the lamp holder directly, cover the flash lamp holder with Ke racket, and fix the flash distance. Flash directly on the model, so that the light will only light up on the model and the upper and lower steps. Sitting in a lower direction can also stretch the whole staircase through the lens, which visually increases the space. The rest of the stairs are still dark, which can fully expose the model and the surrounding environment and highlight the main body of the characters. Set the flash amount of the camera to the same output as the lens selection, and set it to116. In a relatively narrow staircase, you can choose a lens with a focal length of 35mm to shoot.

It is recommended to use 50mm focal length to shoot in the staircase space of the office building.

Advanced technology: a beautiful picture of two lights going out on the plane

Double lights flashing can not only change the space visually? Bigger? It can also make the picture style as beautiful as a fairyland. Standing in the upper space, the flash will be lit, and the output in the flash setting will be increased to 1/8, so as to outline the overall outline of the vehicle from the rear. The hot shoe flash at the top of the machine plays the role of light supplement, and the output is set to116 to prevent the face from losing details due to too strong light at the back.

Focus on the interpretation of M-block direct flash control flash quantity

In the dark staircase of the office building, the very unsatisfactory light makes it difficult for the camera to focus automatically when shooting, so a light source is needed to complete the focusing. In such a harsh lighting environment, it is difficult to control the number of flashlights using TTL mode. Dim ambient light will affect the camera's automatic metering, and it is difficult to control the TTL mode of measuring flash by camera.

Flash the flash directly at the model and press the flash in the stairwell of the dimly lit office building? Mode？ Key to select M block, and it is the best choice to manually control the flash amount of the flash in a very dark environment. Press the up and down arrows on the back of the flash to adjust the flash output of the flash. Set the flash amount to116 to control the flash range of the flash on the model. The control of the flash range makes the background environment not completely illuminated by the direct flash, and can also realize the gradual change of light in the picture.

1. Press the Set key on the keyboard and select M file on the screen.

2. Set the main flash by pressing the up and down arrow keys, and select116.

Use equipment

It is very necessary to use the soft light board. Because it is difficult to avoid too much flash by using two flashlights, and in order to prevent the flash area from being too concentrated, the problem is well solved by adding the soft light board.

The most creative prone position shooting

Choosing a shooting position to shoot downward at a higher angle and shooting with a 24mm wide-angle lens can make the whole person integrate into the environment. It is suggested that the model sit at the lower position of the stairs, with the waist on the edge of the steps. At the same time, set the flash to116 from top to bottom. In addition, it is necessary to increase the integrity of the picture. It is not recommended to polish only the model, not the legs. It is suggested to set the auxiliary light source at the corner of the stairs. If the wall is illuminated and reflected, the lower body area of the model will be illuminated. It is recommended to directly illuminate the legs of the model. The final realization is that the main light source illuminates the model's face, and the auxiliary light source at the corner of the stairs illuminates the model's legs.

Printing paper adds elements

Adding printing paper to the picture will add more visual elements to the picture. Without the increase of printing paper elements, the model lying in the empty corridor will look very abrupt and weird.

Control facial expressions

The most difficult thing for a model to control after lying down is not only posture, but also facial expression. Don't look up too much. Lifting the chin too high will make the muscles of the upper body tense instead of relaxing.

The intellectual style worn by Tips

The intellectual modeling of the staircase in the office building needs to be shown in the picture most, which is the occupation and skills of women. The most important collocation is a simple white chiffon shirt, which first conforms to the overall style of the shooting environment, secondly shows the upper body figure of the model, and most importantly, the texture on the chiffon shirt, which can outline the lines on the clothes through different intensities of flashing.
