Talking about Laifuhaoshe｜The selection and arrangement of light

💡Color , White Balance

☝🏻 It is recommended to use the RAW file format to store photos. If the device allows, try to use the RAW file format to facilitate subsequent color adjustment or retouching.

✌🏻Whether the white balance should be set first or adjusted afterwards?
If the RAW file is used, there is little difference before or after the event; if not, it is recommended to set it in advance according to the on-site environment.

💡 Light source

Identify the type of ambient light source

⭐Light quality refers to the hard and soft characteristics of light. Hard light means that the shadows produced by the light are clear and thick, with sharp outlines and high contrast, such as sunshine on a sunny day and spotlights. Hard light has obvious directionality, and it can make the subject produce a sharp contrast between light and dark, which is helpful for the performance of texture, and often gives people a sense of fortitude and vitality. The soft light quality means that the shadows produced by the light are soft and not fast, the outline gradient is obvious, and the contrast is low. Soft light has no obvious directionality, such as sunlight in a fog. It is suitable for reflecting the shape and color of objects, but it is not good at expressing the texture of objects, often giving people a soft and delicate feeling.

⭐Natural light like sunlight, large area of window light.

⭐Artificial light indoor light source, flash light, ambient light source, reflected light source.

💡According to local conditions

 🕯️First of all, you need to understand several common portrait lighting in movies (try using movie posters as an example), and then adjust the appropriate mirror position according to the environmental conditions of the scene.

☑️Split lighting: the light source comes from the positive side light

As the name suggests, it is to divide the face into two, one side is light and the other is dark, which will create a stronger sense of drama and is suitable for characters with strong personality or temperament.

☑️ Contour lighting: The light source comes from the rear upper side light, the rear left and right side lights, and the positive rear light

It is a backlight shooting method that highlights the subject of the picture by illuminating the edge of the subject, creating a soft and beautiful effect.

☑️Rembrandt lighting: the light source comes from the upper left and right front side lights

The name comes from the lighting technique that the painter Rembrandt often used in painting. The triangular light position on the face is the mark.

☑️Butterfly lighting: the light source comes from the positive lighting behind the camera

The name of this lighting comes from the butterfly-shaped symmetrical shadow created under the nose. The light source is set directly behind the camera and creates shadows on the cheeks and chin, thus accentuating the cheekbones and making the face appear thinner and the chin sharper, enhancing the subject's charm.

☑️Wide lighting: the light source comes from the left and right front side lights

Let the light-receiving side turn to the lens, so the light-receiving side will look wider, and then the whole face will look larger and wider, which is suitable for people with thin faces.

☑️Slim lighting: The light source comes from the left and right front side lights

Contrary to the broad light, the darker side faces the lens, so that the face looks a little sharper and more three-dimensional and atmospheric.

☑️ Self-propelled gun mode

Suppose that the main light source of the environment is the studio light, and adjust your mirror position to shoot the desired lighting effect. The so-called mountain does not turn the road, the light does not need to turn, I turn.

☑️ Anticipate the moment (waiting for the rabbit)

Preset a fixed mirror position in the live environment, and wait for the moment when the photographed component appears, for example, the plane crossing at the elevation angle, the reflection of water stains after rain, etc. It's a bit like posing, in a preset position, waiting for an unexpected encounter.
