1, split lighting is incredible, that is, splitting the face into two parts, one bright and the other dark, will create a strong sense of drama, suitable for people with strong personality or temperament, such as artists and musicians, and of course masculinity will be heavier. In order to create this effect, the light source is placed at 90 degrees on the left or right side of the object and can be moved forward or backward slightly to adapt to different shapes. Note that the light must change with the face of the object, and the light will change with the rotation of the head.

2, ring lighting This is to let the nose cast some shadows on the cheeks. To achieve this effect, the light source should be slightly higher than the eye level, 30-40 degrees inside the camera. (depending on the individual's face) Pay attention to the effect of the above picture. The light source is slightly higher than the eye level, and the projection of the nose is not connected with the shadow of the cheek, but slightly downward. At the same time, the light source should not be too high, so that the light of the eyes is lost. The picture below is a simulation of the above photo. The black background represents the forest, and the photographer hits the sunlight on the object with a white mirror. This is a very common technique, but the common mistake is that the reflector is placed too low and the light hits the nostrils, which can not produce the ideal effect.

3. The name Rembrandt lighting comes from the lighting technique commonly used by the painter Rembrandt in painting, and the triangular light level on his face is the mark. Different from circular lighting, the nose is connected with the shadow of the cheek, but more importantly, the eyes on the other side of the shadow still have eyes to keep the face bright and the photos are dramatic.

4. The name of butterfly lighting or paramount lighting comes from the butterfly-shaped symmetrical shadow made under the nose. The positive light of the light source set behind the camera will create the shadow of cheeks and chin, so it will highlight the cheekbones of both cheeks, make the face look thinner and the chin sharper, which can enhance the charm of the object. However, sometimes a reflector or even the object itself is used to fill the light.

5, broad lighting This is not a specific lighting setting, but a style that can be used regardless of division, ring or Rembrandt. In fact, the method is very simple, that is, turn the light-receiving surface to the lens, so that the light-receiving surface will look wider, and then the whole face will look bigger and wider, suitable for people with thinner faces.

6. Short light is just the opposite of wide light, and the dark side faces the camera, making the face look sharper and more stereoscopic.
