Tips for taking pictures of toys in Taobao shop

Lead: Online shopping has gradually become the mainstream, and more and more toy online stores have opened, with quite good benefits. Because the customer's understanding of toys is mainly through toy pictures, the pictures are clearly shot, the light and shooting angle are appropriate, and the layout is reasonable, so that the product information can be truly and accurately transmitted to the customer and the customer's desire to buy can be stimulated. Therefore, it is particularly important to master the shooting skills of toy photos. The following are some shooting experiences and skills summarized by online shop owners.

First, photographic equipment

Camera: Generally, a digital camera with 2-3 million pixels is enough to shoot the goods in the online store. Too big a picture will only drag you down, and it requires a lot of hardware to handle. In addition, the camera shooting toys needs macro function.

Tripod: Most people shake their hands when they shoot. Using a tripod is very beneficial to ensure clear images. So a tripod is not necessary, but it is very useful. Photographic lamp and reflector: If you want to take a clear picture in a poor light environment without an auxiliary light source, it is basically very difficult. At this time, some photographic lights will be prepared. If you don't want to see too much, too hard and too direct light hitting the subject, then the reflector is also necessary, which can make the plain picture more full and reflect the good image light sense and texture. At the same time, using it to properly change the light in the picture is also very good for concise picture components and highlighting the main body.

Second, shoot the lights.

It is very important to shoot toy lights. Try to use natural light without professional lighting equipment. If lighting conditions are required for shooting, indoor light and color temperature should be considered.

Three, from the front, side, back and other different angles, convenient for customers to understand the whole picture of the toy.

Every toy has an appropriate angle, some are up and down, some are from near to far, and some need to be shot from the side. You can try the feeling of shooting from all angles more. Before shooting, you can look at the toy from all angles to see which visual effect is better. Understand the theme part of the whole jewelry toy and pay attention to the close-up of a theme part.

Fourth, the background layout

When shooting toys, you usually choose a bright and plain background, and an excessively gorgeous background will usurp the role of the owner. To know what kind of temperament toys belong to, choose the appropriate background and color.

Fifth, the shooting time

Toys (especially plush toys) are usually shot with soft light, which looks good in natural light, and the shadows are not necessarily bad, so they look more natural. The best shooting time in summer is 9: 00 a.m. to 9: 00 p.m.1p.m. and 3: 30 p.m. to 5: 30 p.m. (It's best not to shoot when the sun goes down, because the red light of the setting sun will cast a color on the photo).

The above introduction is the most basic shooting skills, which need to be adjusted according to the subject and shooting environment. Shopkeepers can set the scenery according to the characteristics of toys, and they can show the toys clearly and beautifully.
