Hi, today I want to talk to you a little about light photography and some Photoshop clear!
as a lover of cinema and good films, I was always looking for the Oscar awards to watch the films and what movie I won, I was younger and I was very impressed by the award for best photography, he told me but where is the picture? winner naive hahahaha of my clear part!
It is the light that gives magic to the scenes and gives us that feeling, that unique essence of each shot, the most important thing is to know where and how you want the light in your painting, that will undoubtedly give you the tone of what what do you want to transmit
As you can see I like photos of high contrasts
Certainly you can control through editing, light and some effects, but that taste of capturing in a single click the moment when that halo of light gives life to your idea, that is undoubtedly the magic of photography, there is true power and great satisfaction when you manage to capture that unique moment
In Photoshop there are many tools and many ways to correct this for now I just want to tell you how to do it with the Ctrl + L Levels or in the Image Menu - Adjustments - Levels
You will notice a graph that is the Histogram that appears in the window of the tool, that is the information of the pixels and it is where you must take with great care your controllers that are down to get the desired tone
The black controller (shadows) modifies the darkest areas of your image by intensifying them
The white controller (lights) modifies the lighter areas or of light helping the contrast
The gray driver (halftones) helps us make the photo darker or clearer in a more general way with a more even contrast
When editing an image it is advisable to follow this rule although it is not a golden rule it helps a lot in the final finishing:
If the image is very dark it starts with the lights and if the image is very clear it starts with the leftovers
Educating the eye with the practice is the best and little by little you will control the light well and your photos will have that look and atmosphere you want
This is all for now, I hope you liked the post, if so we can go up the level
Thanks, see you next time!
