Kazuhisa Nishikawa is a well-known Japanese photographer who, in order to show good sexy feminine side is known by a number of vendors invited to experience the new photographic equipment.Last year, the long-standing Canon EOS-1D Mark III is released, Nishikawa use it shot pictures of an inter-li Amuro widely circulated on the Internet and was reproduced several sites, affecting a wide range, then these photos is how to shoot it?Here compiled and distributed the work of a group of records Nishikawa photos Nishikawa, and summarize some of the commonly used long-shot "tricks."

Kazuhisa Nishikawa works, the camera: Eos1DMarkIII + EF50/1.2LUSM

one trick: ingenious use of ambient light

seen Nishikawa friends will find other works, his photographs without losing the contrast between light and shadow softer, but very few use a variety of complex Studio lamps.It is necessary to select the main light highlight the surrounding environment is very dark place, can be mixed to avoid possible interference with light, causing the main model very prominent.

following the two is a typical representative of this technique:

tactic of the two: Multi-reflector plate

in indoor ambient light when the limitations of the use of larger, while making good use of reflectors will allow you to obtain very good results, we should note that the market to sell the silver reflectorscolor and gold on both sides of the reflected light is not the same color temperature, which may result in automatic white balance error of the camera itself, as far as possible in order to shoot RAW format is a better option.Our experience is to use large pieces of white foam board to replace the reflectors to use, will not change the color temperature, and the soft light, we can try.

in the use of ambient light when shooting outdoors, you can also use thereduced light reflectors to achieve the effect of contrast than the balance - it depends on your shooting needs.

tricks of the three: Using Perspective

use of the environment in the walls, pillars, railings, etc. on the screen to form a regular perspective will be highlighted as apicture of the main characters play a huge role.

tricks 4: close shot close-up

documentary photography has a famous saying: "If you want to make a not good enough, it is because you are not close enough from which."In this doctrine is dead, under a large number of field photographers, but still is seen as the truth.In fact, portraits, too, from the near and models which are conducive to communication, such communication is not just refer to the language, and the same also, movements, and even facial expressions, thorough exchange of views will enable you to get a more vivid moments.

tricksSix: and models interact more

before and during the filming at any time can look at the models have been part of the film was finished, you can also make models look at the contents inside the camera viewfinder,These small details do a good job, and will narrow the distance between you and the model to eliminate each other's tension.
