Practical Skills of Commodity Shooting 1 Creative Shooting of Transparent Objects
Transparent objects can be divided into translucent objects such as plastic products, frosted glass products and jade articles and transparent objects such as glass products, glassware and crystal products according to their transparency.
The key to shooting such objects is to form transmitted light with backlight. According to the intensity of light, the degree of light penetrating transparent objects is also different, thus making the objects thick or clear. Therefore, when shooting transparent objects, the use of transmitted light determines the effect of the whole photo. In addition to the transmission backlight used as the main light, it is sometimes necessary to arrange auxiliary light. Especially when shooting in front of a white or black background, the lines of the object should be outlined with the help of auxiliary light. Usually when shooting in front of a white background, dark lines should be added; When shooting in front of a black background, light should be formed on both sides of the object through light distribution. When shooting a translucent object, you can put other small items in the object as needed to emphasize the translucent texture. Because the objects inside look fuzzy, they can show the translucent feeling of the objects and add hazy beauty to the picture.
2 Use bottom lighting to make transparent objects feel crystal clear.
In still life photography, glasses, wine bottles or other transparent objects are common subjects. To shoot such a transparent object well, you can use the following methods. Put a transparent object on a transparent glass platform, arrange a lighting lamp under the glass platform, and use white paper or white cloth as the background of the object.
3. Draw the outline of the transparent object through the backlight.
Another common performance effect when shooting transparent objects is to use backlight to outline the object.
The key point of shooting scene layout in this way is to use black reflector and black background cloth, and put black back when shooting.
The scene is arranged behind the main body, and the area should not be too large. Black light-absorbing plates should be placed on both sides of the object to make the transparent object after imaging have a hollow and transparent feeling. However, the light used to outline the edge of an object is usually reflected backlight or side backlight, and the color of the light can be adjusted according to the color of the light or the color of the reflector.
4 skills to highlight the texture of goods
In commodity photography, the expression of texture is particularly important, and it is also one of the criteria to measure the success of a work. Perfectly highlighting the texture of an object also means highlighting its unique temperament. When shooting, you can choose objects with distinct texture, such as glass, porcelain, jade and other products. Compared with other still lifes, these objects are difficult to shoot because they are highly reflective, especially in high-profile processing. If it is not handled properly, it will easily lead to shooting failure. However, if they succeed, the appreciation of their pictures is self-evident.
We should pay attention to the following four points when shooting this kind of theme.
■ Adjust the white balance before shooting to avoid color cast.
■ It is best to use different degrees of' soft light'. If the direct light is too stiff, dazzling light spots are easy to appear on such objects.
And affect the aesthetic feeling of the picture.
■ When shooting a high-profile picture, you can increase 1 exposure under appropriate circumstances, so that the picture will appear brighter and more transparent.
■ When the surface reflection of the object is strong, the use of polarizer can greatly reduce this situation. For example, when shooting glassware,
Consider using a polarizer.
Photographers use soft light to shoot watches and install polarizers in front of the lens to reduce the reflection on the glass surface, so that the texture and three-dimensional sense of the watch are well presented.
Focal length: 135mm aperture: f/ 10 shutter speed:1100s sensitivity:100.
5 shooting skills of metal themes
Metal products are common items in our life, such as stainless steel products, aluminum products and iron products. Some metal products have a dull surface, while others are shiny. Shooting gloomy metal products can be directly illuminated by front light, and the dark parts that cannot be illuminated by front light can be illuminated by reflector or astigmatism lamp as auxiliary light.
When shooting metallic products with shiny surface, if direct light is used from the front, it will produce dazzling light spots, which will affect the imaging effect. Usually, the light will shine on the white reflector and shoot with soft reflected light; You can also shine light on the soft cloth on the side of the still life box to soften the light. At the same time, in order to express the texture of metal, you can also directly illuminate metal objects with a low-power illumination.
