6 simple lighting setups for shooting portraits at home (plus free cheat sheet)

In this tutorial we show you 6 simple studio light setups that will help you capture some of the classic portrait lighting effects. What's more, these lighting techniques will provide you with a solid foundation from which you can start experimenting to find your own style. In our lighting setups cheat sheet below you'll learn how to use high contrast light at a 90-degree angle; diffused light and a reflector; high contrast light at 45 degrees; high contrast light at 45 degrees with a reflector; low contrast light at 45 degrees with a reflector; and finally rim lighting from behind. Lighting Setup 1: High contrast light at a 90-degree angle A striking result achieved with minimal kit. The light will show up bumpy skin textures and create stark shadows and bright highlights. By not using a reflector, shadows will be deep. Patdavid.net: Visualize Photography Lighting Setups in Blender. The most patient portrait model in the world...

Not too long ago I finally got around to picking up a decent manual flash for exploring lighting and speedlight techniques. I picked up a Yongnuo YN-560 Speedlight Flash for Canon and Nikon , and my friend Sean was kind enough to send me his old radio triggers to play with. I was mostly all set to start exploring the world of off-camera lighting... I say mostly because though I had a rough understanding of how I wanted to use the light, I was not well versed on what could be done with it.

Having a reference for how the contribution of different types of light will affect the final outcome is very handy for me. This is nice, but what if I wanted to visualize the effect multiple lights will have all simultaneously? It occurred to me that I already had a great tool for doing this visualization already installed on my computer. I focused first on a softbox. 24" softbox 45° cam left, up 30°

Off Camera Flash, Studio Lighting Setups and Portraits. Cхемы студийного света. После того, как вы определились с выбором фотостудии, разобрались со студийным светом, насадками, необходимо научиться выставлять свет.

Cхемы студийного света

Фотокамера только фиксирует картинку. Свет же ее создает. Мы используем четыре основные типа освещения: рисующий, заполняющий, фоновый, контровой. Рисующий свет – это основной источник, который формирует основной рисунок в кадре. Он на одну-полторы ступени ярче, чем остальные источники в схеме. Заполняющий свет – используется в схеме для высветления теней от рисующего света. Фоновый свет – служит для освещения фона позади объекта съемки. Контровой свет – это свет, направленный на модель сзади. Но необязательно использовать все эти источники света одновременно. Настройка камеры для работы в студии При работе в фотостудии нам нужно установить на камере ручной режим управления - режим М.

Если при таких настройках ваш кадр будет переэкспонирован (очень светлый), вам нужно прикрыть диафрагму. Один источник света Два источника света Введем второй источник света. Cхемы студийного света.
