Hello everyone, I am Menti and this time I have prepared an educational blog with some portrait photos related to this topic.
With respect and permission from photography and design professors in the black and white community, we want to examine portrait photography lighting and also the camera to see how you can take photos with high sharpness and also the most correct lighting mode, in this Picture. What was the portrait like?
The placement of the lights and the intensity of the lights will be discussed in this blog.
in general Lights should be positioned in a way that displays the model in the best possible way. For example, the main light should be placed above and in front of the model's head, and the secondary light should be adjusted from behind and the sides of the model's face.
The intensity order of lights in three-point lighting should be such that the main light has the best intensity and the secondary light has the least intensity. Additionally, the back light should have the least intensity to prevent too many shadows in the image.
I usually try to do the lighting in portrait photography so that I don't have strong shadows, so I use soft boxes.
Also, on the other hand, you can use a reflector to act as a fill light to cover intense shadows.
There is also a lighting style where we shine the light from the top of the model and place a fill light or a reflector from the bottom, which I suggest is used for hairdressing models, in other words, it is called beauty light, which if the fill light is showing. If we remove it, the lighting becomes a butterfly
When I photograph @farideh.shahedi, I feel comfortable with the poses and she can play with the camera and her eyes very well. Her bright and shiny eyes, as well as her velvety, gave special effects to my photos and working with such models is the dream of every photographer.
Thank you for being with me until the end of the post, and when you were there, I tried to include some useful information in simple language in the blog along with the photos.
Have a nice day...
