How to photograph museum collections

If the spotlight is used to shoot the film, the texture and level of the main body of the picture are not only rich, but also the whole picture is harmonious and natural, and its effect is obviously better than that of flash shooting. Therefore, it is suggested that photographers use the living light in the museum to photograph the collection. At present, most museums in China generally use spotlights or floodlights as lighting sources, and the direction of light irradiation is mainly from the top of the roof to the collections, and a few collections with certain transparency are illuminated from the bottom up. However, no matter how the light level changes, every spotlight or floodlight in the museum is carefully adjusted by the organizer according to the effect of the audience watching the collection. In fact, the light that illuminates the collections in the museum can be subdivided into: Gao Fancha light or soft light, directional light or diffuse light, warm light or cold light, point light source lighting or uniform lighting. All these lights with certain characteristics will have a great influence on the shape and color of the series. Therefore, as a photographer, we should also learn the ability to grasp the changing characteristics of light, and then we can take targeted measures according to the intensity of light irradiation and solve various shooting problems encountered under various light conditions. When photographers take photos with live light in museums, they should also consider the causal relationship among color temperature, color light and color deviation. Usually, the higher the color temperature, the blue color of the scene in the picture will appear; The lower the color temperature, the redder the color of the scene in the picture. If you use a digital camera in real shooting, you can adjust and set the white balance according to the color temperature under different illumination to truly restore the color.
