Lead: I don't know if you feel the same way, but I especially like the feeling that soft light quietly overflows objects like water. Looking at them being cleverly placed in front of our eyes, we will feel as if time has been quietly solidified, the years are so properly placed, and they are gently covered with the glory of life. Let's take a look at the choice of food light sources and how to create a sense of transparency in photos.

Look carefully at the picture below. The light overflows the tableware like water. It is the clear and natural layering that makes everything look real and quiet.

so how to create such a light effect? Actually, the answer is not complicated. My usual way is to look for a single light source. This is the easiest and most effective way to create a sense of hierarchy in the picture. Where the sense of transparency comes from, it is not difficult to find that the sense of transparency is actually a clear sense of light layering.

if you choose natural light, you can try to turn off the lights in the house. If you choose lighting, you can choose to close the curtains and keep only one light on at a time. Of course, the brightness of this light should be enough to support your shutter speed:)

As shown below: Natural lighting, you can feel the light getting darker and darker from far to near until you leave a shadow at the bottom of the bowl. (The white in the distance is the curtain, which is like a soft light cover to filter the sunlight out of the window softly and easily)

As shown below: This is an example of lighting. The single light source is still in the front and top of the cup, so there is a small amount in the upper part of the whole picture, and shadows fall in the lower part and the back of the cup. The transition level of light gives the picture a soft layering and transparency.

Key words in today's class: transparency (that is, obvious light layering). How to build it? In order to deepen your memory, let's review:

A single light source brings obvious light layering, and layering brings a sense of transparency to the picture.

that is? You can clearly see the process from bright to dark, and the highlights and shadows are clearly visible (vernacular explanation means that the bright place is bright and the dark place is dark, so don't let the extra light source disturb the original clear and clean light level). This is a photo with good transparency. According to the above process, you can analyze the picture below yourself, feel the transition of light and shade from far to near, and feel the transition of light and shade from the edge of the bowl to the bottom of the bowl.
