For me, using flash is the most effective way to shoot high-quality portraits. When you need complete control over your light, save time, and get predictable results, there's no better way to do it. Admittedly, you have to understand how to use flash.

But this ability can be acquired only by learning and practice. Mastering the flash means mastering the light in any situation. Sometimes, however, beautiful light is there waiting for you to discover and use it.

If you're willing to spend a little time and be flexible with the environment and models, natural light and ambient light can be your best friend. With a continuous light source as opposed to the flash, you can see the effect it produces in real time on the model and in the environment, and adjust it in time. It's a great way to learn about lighting, and it's certainly a great way to apply to flash portraits.

As I like to say, "light is light", whether it's a continuous light source or a flash, the principles and rules for lighting models and environments are the same. The difference between the two is that the flash can emit more intense light for a very short period of time, and the photographer can't see the effect in real time. With continuous lighting, you can move the light and the model around to see the final result in real time.

You only need to try to take a few more shots to make sure**. Look for light sources using curtains to limit light, ISO 800, 50mm, F, 1 80s natural light. Windows are probably the most beautiful light source you can find.

It's like a giant softbox that can also create a variety of effects with different curtains. Simply bring the model close to the window and let the light create a dramatic effect. I like to have the model pose in a way that creates a shadow on one side, which is the classic portrait lighting.

Although we don't know if there really exists such a martial arts world, at least we know that behind many professional jobs, we must take basic training as the foundation, and make different changes from the foundation. Here's what I've shared about lighting tips for indoor portrait shooting, so let's take a look.

Manny Ortiz points out that in addition to flashing lights, it is often necessary to add a diffuser to avoid the light being too strong.

In addition to using flashing lights, sometimes with reflectors to reflect light, you can achieve a soft, natural effect.

1. The flash is placed behind the model

By placing an external flash behind a portrait and flashing the light in the direction of the background paper, you can create a special halo effect that enhances the creativity and visual impact of your photo without making the background look monotonous.

Keep an eye out for the black arrows and place the light between the portrait and the background paper, but keep an eye out for the flash to be a goof.

The power of the flash does not need to be too strong, in this case, setting it at 1 16 is sufficient.

Added the back one'Flash, the whole picture appears more three-dimensional and layered, and can highlight the portrait more.

2. Place the flash on the upper right or upper left behind the portrait

Of course, it is okay to put the flash on the left or right, depending on the pose of the portrait and the needs of the shot. Use side light to highlight or even reflect the hair of the portrait, so as to make the photo more textured and layered.

3. The flash is placed on both sides of the character

In fact, it is very important to shoot portraits with flash, especially to highlight the texture of the hairline. The last method is to use two external flashing lights and place them on both sides of the portrait, so that the hair color of the portrait itself changes from dull to clearly visible. In the same way, ** will appear more three-dimensional, and it will be more prominent on the face.

Although two lamps are used, the effect is clearly distinguished by the color expression of the hair, making the photo more three-dimensional and visually aesthetically pleasing.

Of course, there are countless ways to shoot portraits with an external flash, but these three methods are the most common methods used by Manny Ortiz, and they are time-saving, easy to learn, and can shoot good results.

Use the light of the flash as light and let people stand under the light so that you can take a good photo.

First of all, you should choose the right filter, you also need to pay attention to the angle of the flash, pay attention to the lighting problem of the shooting, and use the flash to press the ambient light, so that the shooting is more natural.

Pay attention to choosing a suitable area, pay attention to the lights and colored lights, choose a particularly good background, adjust the shooting angle, adjust the parameters of the camera, blur the background, and then choose the appropriate filter.
