善用太陽光和夜拍時利用環境光讓人物攝影更有趣。不管是清晨和黃昏的軟光（soft light)或大太陽底下的硬光(hard light)，只要有光照((lighting)都可以讓你的照片（比沒照到光時）更生動活潑。例如第一圖沒照到光之下所拍攝照片，人物臉部不見細節；反之，第二圖的人往前站，被正中央上方的探照燈照射左臉，拍攝者站在景的中央對焦人物右臉拍攝的結果。人物臉部細節不但清楚，有光影顯現人臉較瘦的視覺效果（即使是放大的照片）。這張照片基本上是逆光拍攝，所以頭髮上有光暈。
Using ambient light and making good use of sunlight in daylight and night shots make photography more interesting. Whether it's soft light in the morning and dusk or hard light under the sun, as long as there is any lighting it can make your photos more lively than when you don't. The first picture taken with no lighting shows no details on the face of the person. On the contrary, by standing forward to the camera the person in the second picture having her left face illuminated by the spotlight above. The photographer stood in the center of the scene and focused on the right face of the person. The result of the shooting shows details of the right face, which are not only clear but also visually look thinner in the shadow (even with the enlarged photo). This photo is basically backlit, so there is a halo on the hair.

左下圖是用手機拍攝。路燈在拍攝者左後邊，光源和拍攝者相對於被拍者之間成約90度的夾角，所以基本上是順光。同樣的，人物臉部細節清楚以及較瘦的視覺效果。
The bottom left picture is taken with a mobile phone. The street light is on the left side of the photographer. And the light source and the photographer makes an angle of about 90 degrees with respect to the subject (person), so it is basically forward lit. Similarly, the person's face details are clear with skinny effect.

結論：
1) 打光在模特兒一邊的臉，拍攝模特兒陰影側的臉，不但讓臉部細節清楚，也顯現清瘦的視覺效果。
2) 模特兒的身體部分，要能顯現細節和清瘦的視覺效果，也建議置於陰影內。
3) 模特兒向光的臉可以稍微傾斜迎向光源。
4) 有打光的效果就是不一樣。
Conclusion:
1) Lighting on one side of the model and shooting on the shadow side of the model face not only makes the details of the face clear but also shows a slim visual effect.
2) Suggesting the model to place his or her part of body in the shadow in order to have similar effects of showing more details and slim visually.
3) The face of the model should tilt slightly toward the light source.
4) The effect of lighting makes things different.
