Wedding photography theoryThe theory of wedding photography covered many aspects:
** 1. Light Theory **
1. ** Light classification and characteristics **
- ** Front Light **: Light shining from 0 degrees. The subject receives light evenly and has fewer shadows, but the three-dimensional effect is relatively weak. It is often used in the pursuit of beautiful and beautiful wedding photography style to avoid shadows and make the transition of the picture level smooth.
- ** Faint Light **: The light that shines on the back of the camera from the 0-degree direction. It can make the overall light of the subject brighter. It is suitable for displaying bright and saturated colors and a clean and elegant image.
- ** Front Light **: Light from the side of the camera with a < 90 degrees. This light can form a certain contrast between light and dark on the face or body of the subject, which is conducive to the three-dimensional and layered feeling of the character.
- ** Triangular Light (Lambrandt Light)**: a>60 degrees, a < 90 degrees, light absorption 60%, can create a more three-dimensional portrait effect, unique light and shadow effects, often used in the style of shadow-type wedding photography, can highlight the three-dimensional and layered sense of the character through the light and shadow.
- [** Three-point Light **: 30% of the face is illuminated. It has a unique effect when expressing the emotions of a character or a specific artistic effect.]
- ** Seven-point light **: A is between 45 degrees and 30 degrees, and the light receiving surface is 70%. It can ensure a certain three-dimensional effect and at the same time make the face of the character receive more light.
- ** Side Light (Yin-Yang Light)**: The light that shines from a certain side of the camera at a = 90 degree angle. It can produce a strong contrast between light and dark and highlight the outline of the character. However, it needs to be used carefully according to the shooting style and the desired effect.
- ** Side Backlight **: a>90 degrees,a < 180 degrees, can create special light and shadow effects, increasing the layering and artistic sense of the picture.
- Backlight: also known as backlight, a = 180 degrees. Directly opposite the camera, in the same line as the camera and the subject. It is often used to create a picture with a rich artistic conception. For example, when shooting a newcomer under the sunset, the outline of the person can be outlined, but it is necessary to pay attention to fill in the light to ensure that the face of the person has a certain brightness.
2. ** The effect of light on photo effects **
- In the bright white gauze photography, the higher the luminous intensity, the larger the luminous area, and the greater the distance between the subject, the brighter the photo.
** 2. Wedding photography style theory **
1. ** Beautiful and beautiful **
- Pursuing an aesthetic performance, the main use of soft light (such as soft light box, scattered light) shooting. The colors should be bright and saturated, the picture should be clean and elegant, and the style should be warm and romantic. In terms of beauty, it should be lively and pretty. The transition of the subject's level should be gentle, and the three-dimensional effect should be completed by the structural characteristics and makeup of the subject.
2. ** Shadow Pattern **
- The key was to pursue the perfect reproduction of the film effect, and to highlight the three-dimensional and layered sense of the character through the light and shadow effect. The requirements for the position distribution, light quality, intensity, direction, and light ratio of the lights were particularly strict.
3. ** Sensual type **
- This style was very subjective, and the inspiration and passion of the photographer were very important. The form is free and changeable, the creativity is infinite, the posture is not deliberate, not artificial, the personality is strong and the random is large, the artistic component is higher than the commercial component, and it is mostly used in artistic creation, personality photography, and fashion photography.
** 3. Other theoretical points of wedding photography **
1. ** Color matching **
- In the bright white gauze shooting, the color of the subject itself must be saturated enough, the background color must be saturated enough, and there must be enough color contrast and brightness. Generally, you can use a bright contrasting color to match it.
2. ** Shooting and composition **
- He had to make full use of the film to fully express the details and layers of the subject.
3. ** Beauty Style **
- Different styles had different requirements for beauty. For example, a romantic beauty had to be warm and loving.
4. ** Shooting Sets and Style Choice Theory **
- Most people would usually take four sets of wedding photos. One of them could choose a simple and high-end minimalist style (with black, white and gray as the background or with light and shadow) for the welcome photo. The interior could choose a light retro style or a light Chinese wedding style. The exterior could choose a forest lawn style, a seaside or lakeside sunset style, a garden style, a mountain and lake style, or a city street style (suitable for newcomers with strong expressions). It was not recommended to take too many sets because wedding photos were usually taken in one day. Too many sets would make people tired and unnecessary.
In addition, wedding photography also involved some basic knowledge. For example, in wedding photography, it was a full-time documentary recording, recording the joy of the whole day from the bride's makeup in the morning to the groom's welcoming ceremony, the ceremony, and the dinner. During the shooting process, indoor shooting was easier to control the light, outdoor shooting could provide more natural background, and indoor shooting was not affected by the weather. Also, a makeup artist was needed to follow during the shooting to touch up the makeup at any time, adjust the makeup according to the changes in the shooting scene, and provide time for the newcomers to rest and relax during the shooting interval. In the theory exam, it would cover photography basics, composition techniques, light processing, and other content.
