Understanding of shape structure and light
Good human body photography has its characteristics: clear light, three-dimensional structure, and beautiful curves.
The following reference:
more references to clothing: very obvious shape
The same is true for the film of wearing clothes, which needs to grasp its characteristics. A sense of form.
Like the following it belongs to the facial structure
The focus of expressing the human body: chest, waist, buttocks
Focus on facial structure: nose, cheekbones
The key to understanding shape is to first understand light
For the light-receiving part of a film, the light-receiving surface is divided into four sections
Backlighting: The human body will be more three-dimensional, the light will come from behind the character, the whole character will be darker but the structure will be more three-dimensional.
Side light: strong sense of structure, expressing human body structure can not be reflected by taking pictures with side light compared with front light. Lighting from the side will make the characters more three-dimensional. If you want to make a film three-dimensional, you must pay attention to the transition relationship between the light-receiving surface (brighter) and the non-light-receiving surface (darker). (mostly used for indoor background or artistic creation)
Lighting from the front: If the light is from the front, the whole surface of the character will be relatively uniform. It seems that there are no too dark places or too dark turning points, and the effect of contrasting light will be more solid.
Shock light: The light will be more hazy and softer, without a strong three-dimensional effect, but it will be more comfortable.
The first two will have a more three-dimensional effect, and the latter two will be more clean.
Where is the light coming from in the picture below?
If there are highlights, he will have shadow tone. We can see his shadow and know that the light is coming from the right.
Retouching should pay attention to: preserve the transition of shadows, highlights and shadows
In this film, according to the tone, we can find that the light is coming from the top of the head. There is also a sense of structure.
If the lighting is good, it can save some work in the later stage
In this film, the light is not received from the front. We see the shadow of her neck, and the light is also coming from the top of her head.
A film without tone will appear flat and not high-end.
Under what circumstances will four faces be generated?
If it does not receive light it will not produce four faces, if it receives light it will produce four faces. After being refracted by the light, it will be divided into four surface highlights (the brightest part), the middle color of the gray surface highlight (it can refer to its white part), the light-dark boundary line (the blackest position), and the gray level shadow ,projection. These four sides control the overall softness of the film.
Summary: five sides (high light, gray surface bright part intermediate color, light and dark boundary line, gray level shadow, projection) three tones (white, black, gray)
