攝影｜光線｜根源的問題

攝影需要光線，這是避不掉的必要條件之一。

不說深奧的道理，大家在看照片的時候，應該都會留意自己臉上的皺紋會不會太清楚，年紀跟保養當然有關係，可是有沒有想過你周圍的環境光也是最大兇手之一。

除非皮膚像新生兒一般，（幾乎）沒有任何紋路，不然只要有紋路，光線就會讓它更明顯或者更不明顯。

所以在自拍的時候，記得觀察一下你周圍的環境光會不會太強烈，室內像是筒燈那種會聚集光線的燈光，可以盡量避開，戶外的話就是正中午的時間，不要在沒有遮蔭的地方自拍。相對比較好的光源是比較發散、散射、柔和的光線，會讓臉的陰影處比較少、比較小，皺紋就相對不會那麼明顯，最好的例子就是陰天的光線。

攝影師在拍攝的時候，也是在觀察這些重點，避免在拍完之後還要花很多時間在修圖上，沒有攝影師想花很多時間在修圖，都是希望能在拍照的前置作業完成80%以上，甚至修圖只要動1%就好。除非情形特殊，例如活動、婚禮。這種無法停止重來的過程，很多時候只能找出最合適的方式去把當下拍攝下來，再花時間去處理不足的地方。

第一次到國際會議中心，光看燈光就覺得這間建築物已經有點年紀，光線的照度流明明顯不夠，色溫偏暖，會議廳跟走廊燈光顏色不同、走廊天花板高度很低，天花板顏色很特殊。

總之，我的流程就是把問題找出來，然後再想辦法處理掉。總不能把好看的美女拍成歐巴桑吧。

Taking photos requires light, which is an unavoidable necessary condition. 

Without going into intricate details, when looking at photos, everyone should pay attention to whether the wrinkles on their faces are too clear. Of course, age and skincare are related, but have you ever thought that the ambient light around you is also one of the biggest culprits.

Unless the skin is as smooth as a newborn baby’s, any lines or wrinkles will either be emphasized or less noticeable under light.

So when taking selfies, remember to observe whether the surrounding ambient lighting is too strong. Avoid taking selfies indoors with concentrated lighting, such as spotlights. Similarly, avoid taking selfies outdoors during midday in places without any shade.A relatively better light source is one that is more diffused, scattered, and soft, which reduces the shadows on the face and makes wrinkles less noticeable. The best example of this is the light on a cloudy day.

Photographers observe these key points while shooting, in order to avoid spending a lot of time on post-processing. No photographer wants to spend a lot of time editing, they all hope to complete at least 80% of the pre-shot work, and ideally only need to make minimal adjustments during editing.Unless there are special circumstances, such as events or weddings. In these situations where restart is not possible, we often have to find the most appropriate way to capture the current moment, and then take the time to address any shortcomings.

The first time I visited the International Conference Center, I could tell that this building has some age just by looking at the lights. The lighting intensity was clearly insufficient, and the color temperature leaned towards warm tones. The lighting in the conference halls and corridors had different colors, and the corridor ceilings were low in height with a distinctive color.

In short, my process is to identify the problem and then find ways to address it. I surely wouldn’t want to turn a beautiful woman into an old lady.
