There are several photography techniques to use the angles and reflections of light to create fantastic effects:
1. Backlit shooting: Place the light source behind the subject to make the subject appear backlit. This can make the whole picture appear soft and hazy, giving people a dreamy feeling. At the same time, this way can also highlight the shape and contours of the subject, creating a fantastical atmosphere.
2. Reflective Photography: Shooting with sunlight reflected from water, mirrors, or other reflective objects. This can produce very unique effects, such as large specular reflections, metallic surfaces, etc.
3. Shadows create three-dimensionality: Shadows are a photographer's means of describing the three-dimensionality of an object, allowing the object to appear spatial in the photo, not just a projection of the object on a flat surface. Side, top, and bottom lights cast deep, long shadows on an object, creating a three-dimensional effect.
4. Use reflectors and umbrellas: Reflectors and umbrellas can effectively reflect light onto the subject, adding soft light and detail.
5. Control the aperture and shutter speed: By controlling the aperture and shutter speed, you can create different light and shadow effects. Slow shutter shots capture flowing light, while a wide aperture creates a mesmerizing bokeh effect.
All of these techniques can help photographers use the angles and reflections of light to create fantastic effects, but keep in mind that different subjects and scenes may require different techniques. Therefore, it is recommended that photographers try and practice more, and flexibly use these techniques according to their own aesthetics and creative intentions.
