Hello, do you know how to shoot ceramics?

In terms of lighting, taking porcelain is more particular. The key points are: (l) Don't use direct light; (2) Don't set too many lights. With direct light, there will inevitably be dazzling reflective points; If you use too much light, the projection will be chaotic, and the stereoscopic effect of the object will be difficult to show on the screen. Of course, the multi-lamp method can also be used to shoot better results. But what if you only have one lamp? The only thing we can do is to try to soften the lamp. Softening means adding appropriate soft light equipment. Soft light equipment can be made by itself. As long as a piece of white translucent paper is erected about 50 cm in front of the lamp, the light source can be scattered and the light and shade can have a soft effect. The degree of softening can be judged according to the depth of the object. Once the light source is added to this paper, it will definitely get a certain degree of softening effect. Of course, the effect is not as good as the special soft light box or soft light cover.

If there is only one main light, it is undoubtedly not enough. Adding a lamp on the other side to eliminate the shadow and improve the brightness of the dark part is of course the most ideal. However, if there is really only one lamp, it is not impossible to take pictures. You can put the main light on the upper left of the main body, and then put a large reflector on the lower right to fill the dark part of the main body.

When shooting, adding a CPL (polarizer) to the lens can also effectively remove the bright spots.
