How a Commercial Photographer Plays With Light and Shadow
Author: Jack White
How do you make a person or a thing look three dimensional in a two dimensional picture? With the help of light, you might say. But did you know that the right background is also one of the essentials that contribute in providing the desirable effect in a picture. In this article, we will see how the right background along with the right lighting would enable a commercial photographer to create the required effect in an image.
Any professional commercial photographer would agree that background is an absolute necessity in this kind of photography. In commercial photography, the main aim is to highlight the product or the benefit of the product. It can be a product or a service or even an idea that is to be sold, and whatever it may be, there is a subject and the idea is to catch the attention of the audience by highlighting the subject.
With the right colour background, you can enhance the look of the subject. There are different types and variations in backgrounds, for commercial photographer, available in the market today. You can search the internet and choose from there. You get a wide variety of backgrounds. You also get choice in the material – from paper backgrounds to muslin backgrounds, you can opt the one that suits your budget the best. You get more colour and variety in muslin than in any other kinds.
With the help of appropriate lights, you can create an effect that would add more depth to your image. You can point one flash light towards the background to highlight it. This adds more contrast with the subject and therefore makes the image look more three dimensional. It also brings about the personality of commercial photographer or the expressions of the model better. With the help of other flash lights, you can play with light and shadow to enhance the look of the subject.
