Lighting Design from a Photographic Perspective

One of the characteristics of photography is to use two-dimensional space to vividly reproduce the three-dimensional real world. Therefore, how to express the sense of space and depth of the subject in the photo is extremely important. The sense of space and depth in a photo not only reflects the distance and size of the subject, but also plays a role in guiding the line of sight and highlighting the subject.

The sense of space refers to the aesthetic feeling similar to the real space caused by the artistic image through certain techniques. It includes the space directly expressed by the work and the imagined space outside the specific image of the work. In lighting design, lighting is the materialized form of the designer's aesthetic consciousness, which always exists in a certain space. The finiteness of the lighting image and the object of expression make the sense of space have aesthetic significance in lighting creation and art appreciation.

1. Take advantage of different climates. If you choose to shoot on rainy or foggy days, the sense of space will appear stronger due to the low clarity of the distant view; if you choose to shoot in sunny weather, generally the distant view will have a higher definition, so the sense of space will appear relatively weak. In rainy or foggy days, the night scene lighting appears to have a strong sense of space due to the low clarity of the long-range effect; if in normal night scenes, the general clearness of the long-range effect is relatively high, and the sense of space is relatively weakened.

2. Use different light. Light's perception of space and depth mainly lies in light position and light quality. In the case of front light, since the front and rear subjects are uniformly illuminated, it is difficult to produce a sense of space; in side light and backlight lighting, the three-dimensional sense of the subject is improved, so there is a better sense of space and depth. In terms of light quality, generally hard light produces a stronger sense of space, while soft light produces a weaker sense of space. The effects of different lights in lighting are also different. Backlight generally appears in silhouette mode in lighting. Backlight lighting cannot see the light-receiving surface of the object, but only the bright outline of the object, so it is also called the outline. Light. Backlighting makes the subject stand out by separating it from the background. In environmental modeling, the air perspective effect can be increased to enhance the sense of space.

3. Use prospects. There is a strong sense of depth when there is a foreground, mid-ground, and long shot in the frame. In photography, using the foreground to bring the viewer's eyes into the frame and moving towards the center of the entire frame is an effective way to express the sense of distance, space and depth. When we do lighting effects, we often use the foreground, mid-ground, and long-view to express the distance, space, and depth of the picture.

4, the use of size contrast. Based on visual experience, large objects are closer to us, while small objects are farther away. Therefore, the size of the objects in the picture actually implies their distance from the viewer and its position in space. The same is true in lighting design, using the near big and far small to enhance the spatial effect of the picture and highlight the key points.

5. Use tonal contrast. Visual experience tells us that dark-colored objects appear closer, and light-colored objects appear farther away. Therefore, when the tones of the photographed scene are too flat and the sense of space is not good, it is advisable to improve the contrast of the tones of the scene, so as to adjust the sense of space of the scene. When doing night scene renderings, the distant scenes are often shallowed. The contrast of the nearby scene is relatively deepened, and the front and rear space of the scene is highlighted through the contrast.

6. Use the perspective effect of lines. Converging lines enhance the extension of perspective and tend to create a greater sense of depth and distance than other visual elements in the photo. However, this perspective effect is rarely used in lighting, and generally used a little more in tunnels.

7. Use color contrast. Generally speaking, soft and elegant colors are easy to associate with hazy distant scenes, while bright, saturated colors are easy to associate with clear and bright close-up scenes. Color contrast is used quite a lot in renderings, using the shades, softness and vividness of colors to highlight the overall effect, and highlight the key points to enhance the contrast.

The spatial effect of each photographic work is different. The arrangement of matter in the image space is also very different. Even in the same scene, due to the different shooting equipment (especially the lens) and shooting angle of different photographers, the spatial effect of the picture is also different. The same is true for the lighting design, the placement and size of the picture landscape. The intensity of the light, the contrast of colors, and the effect of the visual angle are also different. Because of this, there are many works with different expressions.
