Positional relationship between the subject and the light source




Model: Kotomi Kai
[Answers] ①-C, ②-F, ③-D[Explanation] If you refer to the past questions, I think you will understand the differences.First, for ②, there is almost no shadow on the background, so we can tell it is F, the bounce method.Regarding ① and ③, the shadow of the model's feet is not as blurred as the shadow in the background.If an accessory has a large diameter, the shadow at the feet will also be blurred, so we can tell that neither ① nor ③ uses a large-diameter accessory.Comparing ① and ③, the shadow at the feet in ③ is sharper.Therefore, ③ is D, the FlashBender.① is the slightly larger C, the SMDV.
By the way, regarding the difference between the D and E FlashBenders, because D has a diffuser attached to the front, the light is directed only forward. However,
since E does not have a diffuser, some light reflects off the ceiling, adding a bounce effect.Note that the shadow cast on the background behind the model's left sleeve in photo ③ (the part circled in red) is not a strobe shadow, but is caused by the continuous tungsten light from behind the camera position. It is different from the edge of a shadow created by an umbrella bounce.Organizer: Nissin Japan Ltd.
