L’orientation de la lumière est une technique qui consiste à orienter la source de lumière légèrement à l’opposé de votre sujet, plutôt que directement vers lui. Cela crée une lumière plus douce et plus flatteuse qui peut améliorer considérablement l’aspect de vos portraits.
Pourquoi faire une plume avec votre lumière ?
- Ombres plus douces : Le lissage réduit les ombres dures, créant un aspect plus naturel et plus agréable.
- Lumière flatteuse : Il produit une répartition de la lumière plus douce et plus uniforme sur le visage, minimisant les imperfections.
- Réclameurs : Le plumage crée souvent de magnifiques reflets dans les yeux, ajoutant de la profondeur et de l’éclat.
- Versatilité: Il peut être utilisé pour différentes configurations d’éclairage, des configurations à lumière unique aux configurations à lumières multiples.

Dans les exemples ci-dessus, l’image de gauche a une lumière pointée directement sur son visage et est assez dure, alors que dans l’image de droite, la lumière est juste en dessous du sommet de sa tête, inclinée vers le bas. La partie principale de la lumière effleure juste le sommet de sa tête, produisant une lumière plus agréable et plus douce.
Comment illuminer votre lumière
- Choisissez votre source de lumière. Vous pouvez utiliser n’importe quel type de source lumineuse, y compris les softbox, les stroboscopes et même la lumière naturelle.
- Orientez la lumière. Placez la source de lumière à un léger angle par rapport à votre sujet, de sorte que la lumière « effleure » son visage plutôt que de le frapper directement.
- Expérimentez avec la distance. Plus la lumière est proche, plus l’effet de lissage est doux. Ajustez la distance pour obtenir le look souhaité.
- Utilisez un modificateur de lumière. Une boîte à lumière ou un bol de beauté peuvent contribuer à adoucir encore davantage la lumière. Si vous n’utilisez qu’une seule source lumineuse, un réflecteur supplémentaire peut contribuer à réduire encore davantage les ombres.
- Tenez compte de l’angle. L’angle de la lumière déterminera la direction des ombres et l’ambiance générale du portrait.
