Portrait photography, lighting style, design concept
The design concept of the lighting style of portrait photography mainly revolved around the following aspects: ** 1. Create character characteristics and atmosphere ** 1. ** Strengthens personality and temperament ** - For example, splitting the light and dividing the face into two, one side light and one side dark, could create a strong sense of drama. It was suitable for people with strong personalities or temperament, such as artists, musicians, etc., and would also have a strong masculine taste. When using this lighting arrangement, one must pay attention to the change of the lighting arrangement according to the face of the subject. When the head turns, the lighting also needs to follow. 2. ** Adjusts facial appearance ** - The wide light turned the side of the light to the camera, which was suitable for people with thin faces. The thin light turned the darker side to the camera, which made the face look sharper and more three-dimensional. The two lighting methods were the same but in opposite directions. - The circular lighting allowed the nose to cast some shadows on the cheeks, and the light source had to be slightly higher than the plane of the eyes and the camera by 30 - 40 degrees. If the reflective board was placed too low, the light hitting the nostrils would not be able to create the desired effect. - Under the Paramount Light, the two sides of the character's nose, from the bottom of the eye to the edge of the cheekbone, would form a bright area, looking like the shape of a butterfly's wings. - There was an international standard for triangular light. The shadow of the nose was cast diagonally downward toward the corner of the mouth. There was a bright triangular light block on the face in the direction of the shadow of the nose. In actual shooting, a large triangular light and a small triangular light were derived, which had a unique effect on the three-dimensional feeling of the human face. 3. ** Creating a different atmosphere ** - The top light was a special styling effect. The prominent parts such as the forehead, cheekbones, and nose bridge were very bright, while the back light under the brow bone, eye sockets, under the nose, and chin would form a thick shadow. The subject's face was distinct and had a strong three-dimensional outline. In addition to providing the main light, it could also take into account the outline light (such as light) and decorative light (such as eye light). The relative distance between the light source and the person was adjusted according to the shooting intention. The closer the light source was to the subject, the softer the light would be, and vice versa. Under the top light source, by arranging a reflective plate on one side of the subject, the contrast between light and dark could be reduced to ensure that the dark details were reflected. ** 2. Guide the viewer's line of sight and visual attention ** 1. ** The importance of the direction of light projection ** - The direction of the light was the most important part of the lighting arrangement. Light from different directions had different modeling meanings, which determined the size of the light receiving surface and the area of the shadow. The contrast of light and dark directly determined the tone and atmosphere of the picture. For example, backlighting, where the light angle was opposite to the shooting angle, was relatively rarely used in portrait photography. The light angle was the same as the shooting angle, which was more common but not suitable for expressing the sense of space and was suitable for showing positive details. 2. ** The influence of the face and gaze direction ** - The direction of a character's face determined how much light the face received. Generally, the face faced the direction of the light source. When the face needed more light, the character could turn the face slightly to the light, and vice versa. At the same time, this would cause a series of changes in the outline, eyes, limbs, and so on, which needed to be adjusted accordingly. - The eyes of a character were the most important organ to convey emotions. The expression of the eyes could convey the artistic conception and atmosphere of the work. The character's eyes looked at the camera or elsewhere with different meanings. Opening or closing the eyes also described different emotions. The direction of the character's gaze was also a factor that needed to be considered when designing the lighting style. ** 3. Draw lessons from the art of painting ** 1. ** The use of light and dark techniques ** - The same problem that photography and painting faced when transforming a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional world was how to display a three-dimensional visual experience on a flat surface. Light and darkness could hint at volume and space, becoming an effective means of expression. For example, the Renaissance painters 'research results on the changes and expressiveness of light and shade were used by photographers. Caravagio developed the tradition of using light and shade to express volume and space and create a mysterious atmosphere to the extreme. Rembrandt created a wonderful light effect in front of the dark background. The color of the bright part was thick, and the dark part was thin and transparent. This contrast between light and dark could also be used in the design of portrait photography. The dark background and dark-colored clothing could be used as a prerequisite for lighting. This contrast between light and dark made people feel comfortable and pleasant. Read more exciting novels for free

Modern Tibetan style wedding photography design concept
The design concept of modern Tibetan style wedding photography covered many aspects. From the perspective of clothing, although there were differences in clothing among Tibetans due to geographical dispersion, the Tibetan robes of wedding photography agencies had been improved, making them more fashionable, gorgeous, and photogenic. The design took into account the characteristics of traditional Tibetan robes and modern aesthetic needs. In the choice of shooting location, they tended to choose a place with Tibetan style, such as the grasslands of Qinghai or Tibetan Buddhist temples that allowed wedding photos to be taken. The scenery was very immersive to fit the style of Tibetan wedding photos. In terms of makeup, black spots on the skin were sometimes more realistic than white and tender skin in Tibetan style shooting, so the design would be based on the skin color characteristics of the subject. Newcomers with dark skin could directly use their own skin color advantage, and those with white skin would be modified by the makeup artist according to their personal characteristics. In terms of service, some photography agencies would provide one-on-one VIP service, or like Fanka photography, they would offer the service principle of "seeing a set, shooting a set" and waiting for the customer to be satisfied before proceeding to the next set of shooting. From the shooting technique, the finished product, to the service attitude, they would satisfy the customer's needs in all aspects. In terms of photography style, in addition to the traditional Tibetan style, creative elements would also be incorporated. For example, the Vision Travel Auction focused on creative wedding photos, winning the recognition of customers with creativity and dedication. From the perspective of brand promotion, with the help of strong Tibetan characteristics (such as snow lotus elements, etc.) to build a brand visual identity system (VI) and print advertising design, to convey visual beauty to consumers, attract customers 'attention and consumption. At the same time, the price positioning was also divided into different grades, such as ordinary packages 6000 - 8000 yuan, mid-to-high-end packages 8000 - 10000 yuan, and high-end private custom-made packages above 10000 yuan to meet the needs of different customer groups. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Hippie style clothing photography portrait
The hippie style originated from the Western countries 'anti-war and liberal and democratic young people's dressing style between 1960 and 1970. It was characteristic of freedom and romance. In the hippie style of clothing photography, the following elements could be presented: In terms of color, warm colors of red, yellow and orange and cool colors of green and blue were more popular. In terms of style, there would be women's leggings that showed off the curves of their bodies (using light and easy-to-wear fabrics). Modern hippie style-related elements include tassels, jeans, western boots, amebas, flowers, eye-catching prints, and suede. For example, they could shoot models wearing hippie retro striped wide-legged denim overalls, or like Yin Zheng's early spring photo shoot, they could shoot models in retro casual clothes with straw hats to show the hippie style. In terms of character selection, characters with different skin colors and hairstyles could show hippie style through appropriate matching. For example, Asian blogger Tammy showed hippie style through uniform wheat skin color, spots and brown curly long hair, and then with floral dress, velvet skirt, studded flat boots and sequined top with strong Disco style. Tezza, a fashion blogger from New York, added more visual tension items such as leather items, Bling elements, and Western style interpretation to show hippie style. Taylor LaShae, with her wheat-colored skin color, slightly curly short hair, misty eyes, and French temperament, surrounded the usual Norcore Style of Paris women and incorporated the soft and experimental elements of hippies to show hippie style. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Lighting design of the warehouse
There were several ways to design warehouse lighting: 1. ** Zonal Lighting Design **: - ** Storage area **: High-brightness LED mining lamps are evenly distributed on the ceiling. The installation height is adjusted according to the shelf height and layout to avoid shadows. It can be equipped with an intelligent sensor system. When someone enters, the brightness will automatically increase, and when no one is around, the brightness will decrease. It will ensure that the goods are clearly visible while saving energy. - ** loading area **: install high-power floodlights to illuminate the loading platform and truck compartment. The lamps must have a good level of protection to prevent dust and water vapor from entering and affecting the lighting effect and life. - ** Passage area **: install linear LED lights along both sides of the passage to provide sufficient illumination to guide people and vehicles through. The lights can be on all the time but the brightness is relatively low to save energy. 2. ** Combination of natural light and artificial lighting **: Daylight windows and panels will be installed on the roof and walls of the warehouse to make full use of natural light. At the same time, shade and heat insulation measures will be taken. The light sensor was installed to automatically turn on the artificial lighting to supplement the lighting when the natural light was insufficient. The brightness of the lighting was automatically adjusted according to the weather and seasonal changes to achieve an energy-saving and comfortable lighting environment. 3. ** Intelligent lighting control system **: automatically adjust the brightness of the lighting and turn on or off the lamps according to the usage time of the warehouse and the flow of people. For example, during non-working hours, the lighting was reduced to the minimum safety illumination to save energy; it was integrated with the warehouse management system to control the lighting of the corresponding area according to the storage location of the goods and the operation process. When the goods were out of the warehouse, the lights in the area were automatically turned on to improve work efficiency. 4. ** Emergency lighting design **: install emergency lighting lamps, such as emergency fluorescent lamps and emergency evacuation indicator lights. The emergency lighting lamps must have an independent power supply. When the power supply is interrupted, they will automatically start and provide at least 90 minutes of lighting.
Jewelry photography lighting
There were many ways to set up lighting for jewelry photography. The following were the common ones: ** 1. Single lamp lighting method ** - Usually, the camera was shot from a side angle. This angle was more suitable for shooting jewelry such as diamonds, because the side angle did not have to worry about the camera lens creating shadows. A single lamp could make the light and shadow more three-dimensional and more penetrative. ** 2. Double Light Illumination Method ** - It was shot with two sheets of paper and two lights. When shooting, pay attention to adjusting the angle and distance of the lights to control the change of light and shadow on the surface of the product, so as to achieve the desired effect. Moreover, he had to pay attention to the light ratio between the two lights and make sure that the primary and secondary lights were clear. ** Three-lamp lighting method (Surrounding lighting method)** - The product was completely surrounded from three angles, leaving only the position of the camera to enter the light. Then, the light distribution was adjusted in three directions around the camera to capture the desired effect. The main light, auxiliary light, and outline light would change according to the subject of the shoot. This method was more friendly to newbies. There were different considerations for the lighting of different materials: - ** Diffuse reflective material **: For example, ancient gold, ancient silver, ivory, rhinoceros horn and other decorative ornaments. The material feature is that the light projected on the rough surface will be reflected in all directions. A beam of light will hit the product and reflect aimlessly. This kind of material was relatively easy to shoot, as long as the product was bright. - ** Fully reflective material **: Mainly made of pure gold, platinum, gold, platinum, silver, alloy, other synthetic metals, and other rare metals. The reflective surface is smooth, and the light is reflected in parallel. When a beam of light shines on the product, the light will produce a directional reflection characteristic according to the principle that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. - ** Refraction material **: Most of them are gemstones, such as diamonds, red sapphires, emeralds, jadeites, corals, pearls, amber and other natural rare species. Tourmaline, turquoise, amethyst, agate, lapis lazuli and other semi-precious stones. When light slanted from one transparent medium into another, the direction of transmission would generally change. When a beam of light hit a product, a portion of the light would be reflected by the mirror, and a portion of the light would brighten the internal material. When setting up the light, they would usually use tracing paper, black, white, gold, silver reflective plates, spotlights, soft light boxes, and other tools to meet the needs of different jewelry. For example, for diamond jewelry, if you want to shoot a bright effect, you can use the fill light method to make the brightness of different sides and the highlight of different edges. If you want to completely eliminate the reflection on the jewelry, you can use tent-type lighting. Set up a "tent" on the top and around the jewelry with seamless paper to cover the surroundings, the top, and the front (only a hole that can be inserted into the lens and the light). The "tent" is illuminated softly and indirectly to make the light uniform. For gold and silver jewelry, most of them used direct light to make their color shine, achieving a golden effect. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Model photography lighting
The following are some common lighting methods for model photography: 1. Butterfly Light (Paramount Light): - [Effect: It can achieve the effect of slimming the face. There will be a butterfly-shaped symmetrical shadow under the nose, which is a relatively beautiful and likable light.] - Light position setting: Place the light source above the model and point it at the model's cheeks, creating a dramatic shadow under the nose and chin. 2. Ring Light: - [Effect: The light effect created can be flat or narrow.] - Light position arrangement: Starting from the position of the butterfly light, the position of the light should be high enough to cast a perfect arc shadow under the cheekbone. Then, the light source should be moved slightly to the right or left to change the position of the light source until the shadow appears on the other side of the nose, forming a ring. 3. ** Rembrandt Light (Triangular Light)**: - [Effect: The transition is natural and smooth. The most important feature is the "triangle on the cheek." The picture looks both dramatic and natural.] - Light position arrangement: push the light slightly forward to the right or left of the ring light setting, and point the light at a steeper angle. When shooting, the shadow side of the subject's face is facing the camera. Use a light source and a reflective light source, or two separate light sources, to form a triangular light spot on the front part of the face (the projection of the brow bone and nose bridge, and the dark area of the cheekbone). 4. Split Light (Side Light): - [Effect: Easy to achieve indoors. It is suitable for creating a mysterious atmosphere. The scene will show a strong drama, showing the character's personality and temperament.] - Light position arrangement: The main light only illuminated half of the subject's face (the side of the subject, left in the shadows). 5. ** Edge Light **: - Effect: It is very suitable for separating the subject from the background and accentuating the outline. - Light position: Place a light source behind the subject and tilt it toward the back of the head. This auxiliary light source should be stronger than the main light source from the front to get more drama. 6. ** Revealing Light **: - [Effect: Prominent model's wide face.] - Light positioning: Turn the side that receives the light to the camera, or place the light source on the right or left side of the subject and tilt it towards her, and let the model move away from the light source and face the camera. 7. ** Skinny Light **: - [Effect: Makes the face look sharp and has a more three-dimensional feel.] - Light position arrangement: It was the opposite of the wide-light. After the wide-light photo was completed, the light source could be moved to the other side of the model. The model could also turn her body to the side of the light source and push the wide side of the face into the shadow. 8. ** Silhouette Light **: - [Effect: It is suitable for models who ignore the appearance of the model and pursue the outline of the body. It is suitable for models with three-dimensional facial features.] - Shooting method: Let the light part be exposed normally, and the natural dark part be exposed to black. 9. Backlight: - [Effect: It can create a hazy feeling. It is more effective for women.] - [Shooting requirements: It needs to be used with a reflective board, otherwise it will look like a silhouette shot.] 10. Narrow Light: - [Effect: The light can only be displayed at the edge of the model's face. When used with a reflective board, it can reflect a sense of mystery and concentration.] - Light position arrangement: The light position is behind the model. 11. [Contour Light]: - [Effect: Create a solemn and mysterious feeling, highlight the model's focused eyes, suitable for models with three-dimensional facial features.] - Light position arrangement: You can use it as a character's decorative light and place it behind the subject to make the hair have a high level of light, so that the face has a very good outline. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Lighting for makeup photography
There were many ways to set up light in cosmetic photography: - ** Use natural light and auxiliary tools to light up **: The main light can be used to soften the bottle cap with a shadowless cover or create a bright effect. In the dark, without the use of a reflective board, the cosmetic picture can be shot with a more layered feeling. Pay attention to the position of the camera. For example, let the bottom of the bottle show a circular arc, and the camera lens is at the bottle cap to better show the shape of the bottle. - ** Multi-light combination and lighting arrangement **: - ** Lighting of specific products **: For example, when shooting cosmetics such as white plastic bottles and white painted aluminum tubes, in order to reduce the reflection and maintain the texture, soft light can be created by increasing the area of the light source and the distance between the light body and the diffusing layer. The methods to obtain soft light were to use tracing paper to shine, to use white fog to reflect light, to use shadowless cover, and to use tracing paper to shine light, and to maintain a considerable distance to achieve the required flexibility. After that, he adjusted the position of the light to make the product white and soft with obvious shadows. Next, light the bottom of the bottom plate with blue light. The intensity should make the shadow light blue but not too bright. Then, use the third light to apply the principle of reflective light. Put a light blue light paper on the light and hit it on the reflective plate to form a light blue to dilute the dark part of the product. The strength of each light is judged by the eyes. The blue light around and below cannot be stronger than the main light. In order to maintain the white impression of the product, it can be overexposed by about half a square. - ** Eye shadow tray lighting **: Take the Kazilan eye shadow tray as an example, you can use a flash plus a standard mask and a soft light screen to brighten the entire background; a flash plus a 30-degree beehive to brighten the eye shadow tray at the 2 o'clock direction of the camera; a flash plus a strip-shaped soft light box and soft light screen at the 11 o'clock direction of the camera to illuminate the side of the product to outline the structure of the right edge of the product and highlight the details of the dark side of the box; A white reflective cardboard was placed at the 1 o'clock position of the camera. It reflected the light from other flashes to illuminate the dark mirror area on the mirror. - ** Universal lighting settings (for reference only)**: If you use a Canon 6D camera and a 100mm 2.8 lens to shoot creative cosmetics scenes, you can use three SK400W, two radars, one standard mask, and two 145*250 soft screens. With the cube props, the setting parameters are: aperture: f13, shutter: 1/100, USB: 100, focal length: 100mm, white balance: 5200K, but when the lighting environment and light output are different, you should not completely copy the parameters. You should learn the lighting method and ideas. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Lighting for macro photography
Lighting for macro photography refers to the technology and equipment used to illuminate small objects at close range. The goal was to create a perfect balance between shadows and highlights to highlight the beauty of the subject and reveal its subtle differences, allowing the photographer to evoke emotions and tell stories in the image by controlling the interaction between light and the subject. In macro photography, proper lighting was very important. Light affected all aspects of photography, such as color, contrast, focus, and depth of the image. The subjects of macro photography were often small and fragile. Some subjects were easy to disappear in the shadows or overexposed under strong light. Precise control of light could convey the beauty, texture, and details of the subject, giving the audience an intimate experience of the subject. The key concepts of macro photography lighting are as follows: 1. ** Strength **: It measures the intensity of the light shining on the subject. By adjusting the intensity, you can create a dynamic range of brightness and contrast in the macro photo, shaping the visual effect. 2. ** Direction **: The direction of the light is like the angle at which the performer on the stage projects the light. It determines the position of the shadows and highlights on the subject. Different angles will greatly change the mood and visual texture of the photo. 3. ** Diffuse **: Can be regarded as a natural light softening filter. Using a diffusing device or regulator to disperse light could reduce the glare of shadows and produce soft and uniform illumination on the entire subject. It was an important means to achieve a delicate balance between light and shadow. 4. ** Color temperature **: It is measured in Kelvin. It is similar to the filter in the photo application. It can determine whether the macro lens is warm (gold) or cold (blue). Mastering the color temperature helps to convey emotions and atmosphere through the interaction of light. 5. ** contrast **: refers to the contrast between the brightest and darkest areas in the image. The use of contrast can enhance the dramatic effect, emphasize the texture, and draw the audience's attention to specific details, thus creating a visual narrative. The lighting equipment used in macro photography included flashes. The flash at the top of the camera is more convenient, but pay attention to its strong shadows. You can use a diffusing device to soften its effect to achieve balanced lighting. In the actual shooting, different lighting conditions had different shooting techniques. For example, it was more suitable to shoot macro shots on cloudy days. The light was uniform, the light ratio was balanced, and the composition was good. On sunny days, due to the influence of clouds, trees, buildings, etc., there would be high and dark light areas. The subject should be selected to be shot with more uniform light. If it was all in the sun, the picture could be taken with less exposure to preserve the details, and the brightness could be repaired later. The lighting in the room was more complicated, and the principle of choosing a scene with uniform lighting was also followed. There were also some special lighting techniques, such as using fairy tale lights (miniature LED lights) for creative macro photography. Fairy lights came in many colors, and different colors would bring different tones to the photo. Because the fairy tale lights were not very bright compared to the ambient light, it was necessary to shoot later in the day. If the subject had shadows or it was cloudy, the shooting could start a few minutes before sunset. When using fairy lights, the lens aperture is usually selected to be as large as possible (such as f/2.8). After measuring the subject, the image can be deliberately underexposed. You can also use a macro lens or a fast lens such as 50mm f/1.8. When using the fairy tale lamp, the lamp can be placed directly behind or in front of the main body. When placed at the back, the shooting distance will be shortened if it is under high magnification or large aperture. The distance should be increased if it is further away from the subject or when using a narrow aperture. When placed in front, it should be close enough to the lens to maintain out-of-focus. In the case of insufficient light, using a flash is a better choice. When there is sufficient light, you can achieve pure natural light shooting, but sometimes in order to achieve certain shooting effects, you can use light even if there is sufficient light, such as to highlight the subject, simplify the messy background, or to make the subject appear special (such as when shooting a young ladybug that has just shed its skin). On the other hand, if there is enough light in the environment, do not use the light when it should not be used. You can judge whether the light is used from the perspective of the subject's eyes and legs. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
China style family portrait theme photography
The China style family portrait theme photography had a unique meaning and style. In a sense, a family portrait was a manifestation of cohesion to a certain extent. The China style family portrait itself symbolized the traditional meaning of reunion and happiness. It was in line with the traditional style of the China style and could bring people an unforgettable warmth. It was like standing in the red background and shooting, showing the warmth of reunion like the New Year. In terms of style, there were many manifestations. For example, the family portrait style of the Republic of China was also known as the " fine brush painting style." This style originated from the fine brush painting of the Chinese painting technique category. Its characteristics were the classic style, exquisite painting techniques, the pursuit of realism, and the details in the photos were handled very well. During the shooting of the family portrait of the Republic of China, the girls wore cheongsams to show their graceful curves. The boys wore Chinese tunic suits to show the appearance of the intellectual of the Republic of China. The older generation sat upright, very dignified. In addition, Sun Li's ink painting family portrait was also a form of China style family portrait. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
How to apply depth of field design technology in indoor portrait photography
In indoor portrait photography, the depth of field design technology can be applied in the following ways: ** 1. Use the aperture to control the depth of field ** 1. ** Large aperture creates shallow depth of field ** - When you want to highlight the main character and blur the background to reduce background interference, you can use a large aperture. For example, set the aperture to f/2.8 or higher (such as f/1.4, etc.). A large aperture allowed more light to enter the camera while reducing the depth of field, blurring the background and focusing the audience's attention on the main character. 2. ** Small Aperture Expands Depth of Field (Special Requirement)** - If you need the character and background to be relatively clear, for example, if you want to show the details of the indoor environment where the character is located, you can choose a smaller aperture value, such as f/16, which can make the depth of field larger, and the background and background can maintain a certain degree of clarity. ** 2. The choice of lens affects the depth of field ** - Choosing an 85mm lens helped to achieve a shallow depth of field to achieve the effect of background blurring. At the same time, it ensured that the proportion and shape of the character in the picture were more appropriate and would not appear too bloated. Thus, the depth of field effect could be designed according to the characteristics of the lens. ** Three, adjust the shooting distance and change the depth of field ** - By getting the character closer to the camera and shortening the shooting distance, while keeping the background distance unchanged, the depth of field would become shallow and the background would be easier to blur. On the contrary, if you wanted more background content to be clear, you could move the character further away from the background and adjust the shooting distance to make the depth of field relatively deeper. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
