The importance of portrait photography in the last issue (click to read). To better realize the expected effect of portrait photography, the use of cloth light practice and operating experience is essential. The universal operation in practice is to use a soft light box flash to make the main light or use the concentrated light light to use the white reflector as the main light. In the book "Professional Portrait Photography Tutorial", Yu Zhongan sorted out the skills that must be mastered when lighting:

First, when combining lighting, reasonable control of optical ratio is the main indicator for measuring optical quality. First of all, we must first know which light -type light ratio is large, which light -type light ratio is moderate, and which optical ratio is smaller. Such as yin, full backlight, side backlight, front light, gradient light, and lighting light ratio, small triangle light, big triangle light, and small flat light are more moderate, while large flat light, big nose shadow light, small nose shadow Light, the lower light ratio is smaller. This is the result of the general practice of the industry, and it is also a summary of the practical experience of portraits. Learning cloth light must be considered in the heart of light, but the final determination of cloth light ratio must be considered with the shadow and tone of the portrait picture, combined with the environment and background of the characters, and Based on consideration. Of course, the experience judgment of the photographer's naked eye is the best test of the goldstone, and it is an important part of measuring the photographer's level of light. Remember when used, the light ratio has nothing to do with hard light and soft light, and it is related to the strength of the light source and its control.

Second, reasonable and clever combination of light. When specific clothing, it must be clear that the lighting sources can be replaced between the light sources of light. They are not the best or worst, but they are more reasonable and effective. Under normal circumstances, the three combination methods are more reasonable and effective.

The first is the main light of the soft light box flash. The soft light here forms a staircase transitional relationship with reflection, so the two lights are quite effective after melting. Such as the yin -yin, small triangle light, large triangle light type, side backlight type, and full backlit type are combined with this light source.

The second type is that the spotlight is the main light of the white reflector, and the spotlight is a combination of the white reflector. These two reflection formation of the same level of light is formed. All light types are formed only under the strength of the reflection. The light feels natural and soft, and the face of the light characters is rich and delicate. Such as full backlight type, side backlight type, yin and sunlight type, small triangular light type, and lighting type can be combined by this light source.

The third is the main light of the soft light box flash, and the soft box flash is made of auxiliary light and transition. This is a combination of soft light and soft light. All light types are formed under the contrast of soft light and weakness. The light feels natural and slightly sharp. Such as big nose shadow light, small nose shadow light, big triangle light, small triangle light, yin sunlight, full backlight, side backlight, lower reflection, front light, and lighting light are suitable for this light source combination.

These three light sources are currently adopted by portrait photography, which have been generally used in the shooting, and have undergone countless practical verification.
