Simplified Studio Lighting for Elegant Portraits

If you are new studio portrait photography, studio lighting can seem difficult, mysterious and perhaps even at times disturbing. Read a dozen different books on lighting by the “experts” and you probably ten completely different view on what constitutes good lighting have. Maybe it’s because “good” lighting studio portraits is just that, a matter of opinion. Yes, there are classic styles of lighting, such as open loop, closed loop, butterfly or Paramount, general lighting, short lighting, and so on. But ninety-nine percent of the time, take care of our customers are not in their study on the technical aspects of lighting, or light classical styles. They just want to see in his great portraits, and his work as a professional portrait photographer to help them learn. The lighting used in my photo studio is easy to understand, easy to process, and helps our clients look their best.

Our typical lighting system consists of three lights with a “hair light” used Flash, etc needed. First, the main light, the main source of light in the lighting system and add the contour of the face is used and the depth and interest in the subject. The key is light, allowing the object in three dimensions in a two dimensional plane, however, perceived as an image in three dimensions are given. The button lights up in the configuration of our study is a study of Titan side kick stand mounted. The beauty of this furniture is that it is very stable, has lockable wheels will be replaced so easily, and the height of the main light is easy to “touch” adjustable arm. The key light is usually only in our flash memory device that is placed in a photo shoot.

The key light is modified with a parabolic reflector umbrella or shoot through an umbrella reflector, a light box (various sizes can be used), or by other means, whereby in each portrait the desired effect. A guide to remember: at a given distance between light source and the subject, the more the light source, the longer the incident light and the highest (more contrast) the shadows. Choose switch to achieve the desired effect as his portrait (ie light switches to reduce the contrast: 6 “parabolic mirror, 16″ parabolic mirror, 40 “reflective umbrella, 40″ shoot through umbrella softbox 3′x4 ‘, 4 “x6″ light box). The key light is measured (independently) to F11. This can be by setting off the flash lamp can be achieved and / or maintain the distance between the light and the key.
