【Mango Street 芒果街】 7种简单的人像布光

up觉得这个教程的内容比较基础，对于灯光的需求也比较简单，单灯基本可以完成。比较适合初学者（这不就是我吗？？？）学习和尝试，对于了解灯光对脸部线条阴影的影响有很大帮助。

Here’s a simple breakdown of 7 different lighting techniques you can implement next time you shoot portraits with studio lighting. For these examples, we used continuous lights to better illustrate it, but you can strobes as well, of course. 

下面是7种不同的人像布光技巧的简单分解，下次你使用工作室布光拍摄肖像时就可以使用这些技术。对于这些例子，我们使用连续光来更好地说明它们，当然，您也可以使用闪光灯。

BUTTERFLY LIGHTING/蝴蝶光

Butterfly lighting (sometimes called “paramount lighting” which is a way less fun thing to call it) is one of the most flattering lighting setups for most faces, so don’t even think about lighting me any other way. Your goal is to create a butterfly shape in the shadow under the nose. To do this, place the directly above and pointed down at your subject. This will create dramatic shadows under the cheeks, nose, and chin, and that is the tea (?).

蝴蝶光（有时被称为“派拉蒙光”，只是叫起来有点死板）是对于大多数脸来说最棒的布光方法，所以我大部分时候用的都是这种布光。你的目标是在鼻子下面创造出蝴蝶的形状的阴影。要做到这一点，请将其放在正上方并指向您的主题。这会在脸颊、鼻子和下巴下面产生戏剧性的阴影，这就是蝴蝶光的关键。

LOOP LIGHTING/环形光

Loop lighting gets its name for the circle of light cast around your subject’s face. To achieve loop lighting, start with butterfly lighting and then move your light source slightly further to the right or left. Push it until a shadow appears on the opposite side of the nose, creating a li’l loopy (which was, unrelated to any of this, my nickname in college).

环形光是指投射在你的拍摄对象脸上的一圈光。要打出环形光，以蝶形光作为起点，然后将光源稍微向左右移动。一直推到鼻子的另一边出现阴影，形成一个“li’l loopy”。

REMBRANDT LIGHTING/伦勃朗光

For Rembrandt lighting, think “cheek triangle.” Rembrandt lighting is like a more dramatic loop lighting where the nose shadow connects to the cheek shadow, forming a triangle of light on the cheek. To achieve it, push your light a little further to the right or left of your loop lighting setup and point the light down at a steeper angle. After you snap the photo, yell, “cheeky, darling, really!” at your subject.

对于伦勃朗的照明，想想“脸颊上的三角形”。“伦勃朗的灯光就像一个更具戏剧性的环形光，鼻子的阴影与脸颊的阴影相连，在脸颊上形成一个三角形的光。要打出这种光，把你的光进一步推到你的环形光布光的左边或右边，并把光向下倾斜一个更陡的角度。在你拍完照片后，朝你的小姐姐大喊:“亲爱的，脸上的轮廓真好看!“。

SPLIT LIGHTING/分割光

Split lighting (sometimes called side lighting by no-nonsense gaffers who are just trying to get down to brass tacks) is perfect for creating an air of mystery. The setup is pretty straight forward. You just put the light to the side of your subject, leaving half of the face in the shadows.

分割光(有时喜欢直接切入正题的老法师叫它侧光)是营造神秘气氛的绝佳方式。布光设置非常简单直接。你只需要把光线放在拍摄对象的一侧，让半张脸处于阴影中。

RIM LIGHTING/轮廓光

Rim lighting is great for separating your subject from the background and highlighting split ends. For this setup, place a light behind your subject and tilt it up towards the back of the head. This kicker light source should be more powerful than the light that hits your subject from the front for more drama, mama.

轮廓光可以很好的分离拍摄对象和背景，打亮分界处的发梢。在这个布光设置中，在你的拍摄对象后面放一盏灯，然后把它向上倾斜朝着头的后侧。为了更有戏剧性，这个点题的光源应该比从正面光源的光线更强。

BROAD LIGHTING/显宽光

Contrary to popular belief, broad lighting is used to highlight the broad side of your subject’s face, and not just for clients named Karen who “would like to speak to your manager.” For this technique, place your light source to the right or left of your subject and tilt it down at her. Have your subject turn her body away from the light and face towards the camera. The goal is to get the broad side of the face (the side that’s closest to the camera and showing the most) covered in light and the short side of the face in the shadows. 

与人们普遍认为的相反，显宽光是用来突出拍摄对象脸部的宽边，而不仅仅是为了那个“想和你的经理谈谈”的客户Karen。对于这种布光，把光源放在你拍摄对象的左右两侧，并将其向下倾斜。让你的拍摄对象把身体从光线中移开，脸朝着镜头。我们的目标是让脸部的宽边(离相机最近、显示最多的一面)被光线覆盖，而短边则在阴影中。

SHORT LIGHTING/显瘦光

Short lighting is basically the opposite of broad lighting (duh). You can easily achieve short lighting by finishing your broad lighting photo, yelling “freeze!” at your client, and then moving the light to the opposite side of her. You can also just have her turn her body towards the light, pushing the broad side of her face into the shadows.

点光基本上与平面光相反。拍完你的显宽光照片之后，大喊“别动!”然后把灯移到她对面，你就可以非常轻松的打出显瘦光。你也可以让她把身体转向光源，把她脸宽阔的一侧推到阴影里。
