When taking this kind of photo, the exposure must be lowered, because the fill light will form a light and shadow relationship on the model's face.

If you make good use of this relationship between light and shadow, you can make a person who is originally somewhat ugly look more handsome. You can also make a good-looking person look ugly.

For example, in some movies or TV shows, sometimes the protagonists are too ugly. Maybe this is not entirely the fault of the makeup artist, but also the fault of the lighting artist. This kind of fault is difficult to correct even in post-production.<

/p>

Otherwise, the lighting engineer of the crew is the lighting master.

If Carl wanted to have that youthful look, he had to think of ways to use lighting to capture the youthful and energetic temperament of a young man.

After experimenting for about twenty minutes, Chen Xing finally started shooting.

Once the lighting was set up and the camera settings were adjusted, the time it took to take this photo could actually be solved in a few minutes. But after Chen Xing took a suitable photo, he did not stop and continued shooting for half an hour.

.

This great writer also has no temper at all and completely listens to Chen Xing.

He thought that his request was more difficult and that it would be okay to spend a little more time taking photos. He was also very happy to see Chen Xing being so attentive to his photography. Doesn't this just show that he is serious?

But Chen Xing and the photographer who had been staring at the computer realized that after Chen Xing took the right photos, his subsequent shootings were all about experimenting with new feelings, which had nothing to do with the initial opinions raised by Karl.

But I didn’t say it out loud.

They didn't know how much money Carl gave Chen Xing. Anyway, to be able to invite Chen Xing, who no longer does commercial photography, to take photos, he must have paid a price that would make Chen Xing's heart also move.

After spending so much money, of course I can’t just click the shutter button and say it’s suitable.

Even if this great writer doesn't say it, he will feel awkward in his heart.

Chen Xing tried to use light and shadow to make people look old, serious, curious, etc.

Karl's serious look now looks like a mafia, especially the weathered face and neatly arranged hair, coupled with a brand new black suit, the serious style photo is really great.

The photographers and photography apprentices behind were astonished by the photos that appeared on the computer screen.

This was the first time that they had seen that such excellent photos could be created with just cameras and lights without the need for post-processing. In their opinion, some of them did not need to be retouched at all and could be printed directly in magazines.

Chen Xing paid attention to the time while filming. When he saw that it was more than an hour, he was about to close the camera and said: "Okay, Karl, you are tired of sitting too, let's go out to eat."

Chen Xing made a lot of money from this deal. Chen Xing would feel uneasy if he didn't treat this kind man to a meal.

"Done? Can you show me the photos?"

"No, no, I'll give it to you after I fix it." Chen Xing shook his head.

Normally, Chen Xing would show the photos, but that was not possible at this time. He planned to wait until the photos were retouched, so as to meet the boss's psychological expectations at once.

Although in the eyes of others, the photos taken by Chen Xing can be used as finished products, in Chen Xing's opinion there are still some shortcomings and they need to be pulled into PS for careful repair.

Among photography, commercial photography uses PS the most.

Chen Xing has heard this saying before, saying that commercial photography is 20% shooting and 80% PS. This statement is a bit extreme. But if you say half and half, there is no problem.

Half depends on the early stage and half depends on the late stage.

"That's right, that's okay." Karl expressed understanding.

At this time Mixiore came up and said enthusiastically:

"How can our company ask you to pay for your own money when you are all here? Mr. Chen is a photographer from Paris, France. He should be very familiar with French food. There are several very good French restaurants on this street. I will lead you

You go over there."

Chen Xing was surprised that her attitude changed so quickly, and said with a smile: "You are too polite."

"We Westerners are more direct, Mr. Chen Xing, please let us pay for it." Mixiore's attitude is sincere. This is also an apology for her, for her previous rudeness to Chen Xing.

.

Chen Xing looked at Karl.

Karl didn't think it mattered, but he was a writer who had been writing books for decades. He knew at a glance that there must be some kind of story between Chen Xing and Mithiore. Judging from the comparison of the two attitudes before and after the shooting, maybe

Is it Chen Xing’s skills that are recognized by this woman?

That’s a good thing!

Karl smiled heartily and said: "Yes, Chen, you are a tourist. Since you have come to Oslo, let us locals entertain you."

Chen Xing shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.

When we walked out of the studio, the sunlight was actually a bit dazzling. This street was densely packed with pedestrians, tourists, luxury stores, restaurants, and cafes. After all, this street is the most famous street in Oslo.<

/p>

Karl Johan Strasse.

This place is famous because if you walk along this street to the end, you will find the Oslo Royal Palace, which any tourist who comes to Oslo must visit once.

Needless to say, the history is long enough.

European cities are generally small, and it is impossible to develop too many commercial streets in one city.

Norway only has a total of five million people. In the capital of China, one community may be filled with these five million people. The permanent population of their capital is only 700,000, so it is impossible to live in a city with Karl Johan Street.

Under the premise, we will recreate 'Xizhimen Street' and 'Wangfujing Street'.

As soon as Chen Xing entered the door of the Western restaurant where they were entertaining, he felt that the French food here was authentic enough.

No matter how large a Nordic restaurant is, there is still a certain distance between the dining tables and a little bit of privacy. But in French restaurants, especially those in Paris, the tables are very crowded.

It feels like a crowded Chinese noodle shop. Even if you lean back, you can touch another person's back.

This restaurant is like that.

However, there were still a lot of people, and it was obvious that they were all foreigners. Chen Xing also saw a table of compatriots.

Traveling to Norway to eat French food?

To be honest, if someone hadn't treated this meal, Chen Xing would definitely have gone to eat Norwegian specialties.

Although Norwegian food is flashy, he doesn't eat it every day. When he comes to a place to taste the characteristics of this place, he may not have a second chance to come here in the future. If he doesn't eat it there, he will never be able to eat it in other countries in the future.

Norwegian food?

It’s not authentic either.

Migiore was familiar with the situation and asked for a private room. It was actually a private space separated from the outside by a thin wooden board. It was not airtight. The design looked good and the ventilation was good.

Chen Xing felt like he was eating this meal with his fans.

Of the three people I saw when I entered the Chanel photography studio, one of them was a photographer, and the other two were ordinary employees of Chanel. They were very interested in photography and came to work as part-time photography assistants, earning two salaries.

These three people are very eager to learn, but Chen Xing is not a good teacher.

After saying a few words, he became impatient, quickly finished what he ordered and said: "I may leave Norway tomorrow. I will prepare Mr. Karl's work tomorrow morning. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so I will

Stay soon."

The photographer stood up quickly: "Teacher Chen Xing, let me see you off!"

"No, no, no..."

"Teacher Chen Xing, you haven't said yet how to use lighting effects to create the model's temperament!"

Chen Xing grabbed his clothes and camera bag and said: "If you want to use light to create emotions, you must first learn to use colors to create emotions. Take a look at more of my previous works. Okay, let's talk next time. I'm leaving now."

."

After saying goodbye, Chen Xing quickly walked out of the restaurant.

Karl smiled and ate his steak slowly and like a gentleman.

He just likes Chen Xing. This is the boyhood he wants to return to. What a beautiful age.

Mithiore rolled her eyes at her photographer.

"I asked you to ask for advice, but you can't keep asking. Now it's better. I made everyone angry and left. Alas, I'll go and see you off."

Karl stopped her and said:

"No, he's not angry. He just feels a little uneasy being asked these questions all the time. You have to understand that Chinese people are so humble. They think people who are too young cannot be teachers."

Chanel's contracted photographer said: "It's really amazing. I wish I could capture half of his feeling with this kind of effect."

Don’t say half of the style of the work. In fact, as long as you truly understand what Chen Xing was thinking when shooting and imitate 1% of Chen Xing’s style, you can quickly imitate 90% of it.

The remaining 10% is the point where a famous photographer can never be completely imitated. Generally, if you can imitate a photographer's style to 90%, then you will definitely be able to shoot your own style. .

There is no distinction between photography and photography. It is like practicing Taoism. If you suddenly realize it, your whole person will be completely different from yesterday.

One of the female photographer assistants was still thinking about a black boss-style photo taken by Chen Xing. Then she looked at Mr. Knausgaard, who was now very gentle, and sighed in her heart - photography is really magical. Art.

It expresses reality, but it can also produce artistic effects from this reality.

………………

Chen Xing took a walk in the garden below the Oslo Palace, and then returned to the hotel to start editing pictures. In this part, we need to avoid facial blemishes. The easiest way is to cover acne, freckles, moles, etc.

However, sometimes moles are a secret weapon that can improve a person's appearance or temperament. It depends on personal aesthetics.

Chen Xing never repairs the moles on models’ faces.
