Today we will look at how to take pictures in cloudy weather and with the sun behind the clouds. The main problem in such a situation is to create a three-dimensional frame. Also, in cloudy, overcast weather, light and shadow transitions are poorly visible and a lot of defects appear. How to shoot so that the sky is not knocked out and the photo immediately turns out high-quality? First of all, the choice of location will help with this, you need to go where the light is refracted and cut by various objects. We will discuss how to learn to see and control light in practice in the video: 00:00 Intro 00:07 Name of the shooting location 00:20 Where is the location? 00:36 Description of the shooting location, why did you choose it for the photo shoot? 01:14 How to shoot three-dimensional frames with diffused soft light? 01:45 Checklist, features of soft light. 01:52 First scene and light scheme. 02:50 02:58 03:00 Result portraits with soft drawing light. 03:08 Changing the light due to the photographer's movement. 03:22 Result - portrait with reflection 03:26 Lighting scheme with a multi-faceted portrait and silhouette. 03:39 Result - multi-faceted shot. 03:43 Explaining the lighting scheme for a geometric general plan. 04:26 Result - geometric multi-faceted general plan. 04:37 Techniques: How to learn to quickly find light on location? 05:11 Lighting scheme - portraits on the stairs, exposing the frame. 05:55 06:25 Result - multi-faceted portrait on the stairs. 07:25 Lighting scheme - portraits from an elevated shooting point. 07:31 Result - portraits from an elevated shooting point. 07:40 Tips: How to choose the right shooting location? 07:59 What is a light gradient? How does the volume change as the models move away from the light? 08:37 Lighting scheme - Creating volume due to the dark wall. 08:42 Result of portraits with a dark background and side light. 08:48 Explaining the composition of the frame and how the light falls. 09:09 Result of portraits on a dark background. 10:24 Scheme with imitation of movement and modeling light. 11:19 Result of portraits with modeling light. 11:44 Lighting scheme - geometric female portrait with soft light. 11:52 Result of a female portrait. 12:05 How to properly frame a portrait? 12:53 Lighting scheme - a shot from a low point at a wide angle. 13:28 Result of a portrait from a low point. 13:32 Summing up the results of shooting with soft light. 13:49 Series of photos - the result with processing. 15:58 Whoever watched to the end is a handsome man! Checklist for shooting with soft light: Watch the video and consolidate the tips for working with soft light. Next, some light tasks. Brain training: We practice algorithms. Camera settings: First, ISO, then aperture, then shutter speed. Shooting algorithm: first, we understand what kind of light we want to shoot with, find the light, then set the exposure on the camera, pay attention to the background and the foreground in front of the model. Task: Take a model of any person. Find light indoors or in an arched alley, the easiest is light from a window, soft is better. * Practice all directions of light by turning the model's face and, if necessary, shoulders and body: 1. frontal 2. side 3. side at 45* 4. backlight Do the same thing, only move further away from the window. (You will see how much softer the light and light gradient have become.) Next, seat or place the model in side light at 45 or under frontal light. Without moving or turning the model, take several shots around from all sides. You should move, change the shooting point and you will see how the light pattern changes relative to you. Place the person on a dark background, then the drawing light will be more visible. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Free tips for promoting a photographer https://t.me/ZlobiNikolai Instagram / nikolaizlobin VK group with useful articles and videos for photographers https://vk.com/zanimatelnaya_geometria sponsor: https://getblaze.pro/ enter the promo code - zlo and get a 1000 ruble discount on any lighting kit!!! #nikolaizlobin #zlobnydvizh #photographer #entertaininggeometry #width #weddingphotographer #howtophotograph #photographycourse #photographylessons #howtoshootnayarkosolntse #lens PS If you liked the video and there were useful moments, then feel free to like it and leave any comment - a question, because there will be a lot of interesting things here.
