So the very first thing we’re going to do is begin with 1:1. And in a 1:1 lighting ratio, you may have two lights or presumably three lights arrange. They’re evenly lit, which means each lights are on the identical energy. I’m going to indicate you the way we do it, and I’m going to indicate you the outcomes. Why would I ever use this, Sal? In case you’re telling me even mild isn’t precisely superior or one thing {that a} skilled would do? Properly, like I mentioned at first, that’s slightly little bit of a misnomer.
We use that sort of lighting for magnificence lighting. The minute we begin including shadows, if any individual has unhealthy pores and skin or wrinkles, it exaggerates it. Why? As a result of we’re creating shadows and drawing consideration to these zits marks, wrinkles, and issues like that. So flat lighting could possibly be used for perhaps some magnificence work, perhaps some vogue work, and perhaps some product pictures. However ultimately I believe you’ll agree, let me know within the feedback, that as we begin including dimension it begins feeling like a distinct portrait.
So let’s get to it right here. All the pieces I’m utilizing right now is down within the feedback. So go in there and also you’ll see these hyperlinks for what I’m utilizing. I’ll simply run it for you actual fast. I’m utilizing two FJ200s, we don’t want far more than that within the studio. For my key mild, my major mild, I’m utilizing an Octabox. Then for our fill, we’re simply utilizing a 1×3 strip box.
Now, I’m going to fireside these and measure every of those lights independently. Bear in mind we’ve obtained two lights right here, and we’re going to measure them independently. So I’m controlling it by means of the set off and I’m going to finish up getting each lights at F11. This major mild is at F11. Now, we are able to put this major mild to sleep from the set off and activate the fill mild so I can measure them independently. I believe that’s fairly essential to have the ability to do. So now we’re going to measure this secondary mild, which can be hitting at F11. So now each lights are hitting at F11. This may be a one to at least one lighting ratio.
Now I’m going to set my digital camera up for that. I’m hoping you’ll agree that what I simply did just isn’t difficult. Each lights are set as much as an influence setting of 9, which is giving us F11. Now lights are additive in nature, so this may most likely be F11 and a half and also you simply have to regulate your digital camera for that with each of them. So we’re going to take a take a look at shot right here, and I’m going to show the primary mild again on.
Okay, that’s a ravishing portrait. All proper, so what you’re seeing right here within the portrait is simply straight out of digital camera, even mild, little or no shadow on her face, and refined shadow beneath her chin. That’s a 1:1, extra of a magnificence mild setup, however now we need to begin including dimension.
