1, 45 light distribution method
In this case, it is the simplest single light setting, and the soft light box is placed on the 45 side in front of the camera body, and the camera body is facing or slightly facing the lens.
It is ok to use f/4 and f 13 as apertures when taking pictures. Just adjust the brightness of the lights. A larger aperture of a camera can make people stand out and the background is blurred, while a smaller aperture can have a larger depth of field.
It should be noted that if the subject of the portrait is not facing your lens or slightly sideways, the distance between the two eyes of the portrait and your lens will be different. At this time, it is best to focus on the eyes close to the camera.
2. 135 light distribution method
On the basis of the 45 light distribution mode mentioned above, move the soft box back 90, which is the light distribution mode of 135. At this time, people need to turn sideways like the body, so that the light source is located on its side.
Compared with 45 illumination mode, 135 illumination mode can better represent the light and shade levels of portrait face. In this light distribution method, there is almost no light on the background board, and the background of the photos taken is relatively dark.
3. Large backlight light distribution method
Putting the soft box behind the portrait fuselage is called the big backlight light distribution method. In this way of lighting, the outline of the portrait will appear around the main body, which is very interesting. In this light distribution mode, if the area of the light source is large, the background will be completely white. Generally speaking, a normal appearance is enough.
If your face is overexposed, adjust the brightness of the light to make your face less bright. In this case, if you want to make the background brighter and the portrait body darker, you can add a lamp in front of or on the side of the portrait to fill the light.
4. The distribution method of reflected light is as follows.
In this light distribution mode, the flexible box is placed above the portrait body and leans forward slightly parallel to the ground; The portrait main body stands in the edge range of the direct area of the soft box, and at the same time, a reflector is placed under the portrait main body.
At this time, the light reflects upward and shines on the portrait subject. With such light distribution, the portrait subject will be illuminated by reflected light, and the portrait face will become very three-dimensional.
