Product shooting skills

Skills of shooting products 1, building a studio

If you want to shoot a good product drawing, you must first build a studio to shoot still life. If you mainly shoot small products, you only need to build a relatively small studio; If you want to shoot clothes and other products, you need to build a relatively large studio, and the initial investment will increase accordingly.

However, if you really don't have the conditions to build a studio, you can also use natural light to shoot, but this can only be done during the day. It is not recommended to shoot the product in general lighting environment, so it is difficult to shoot the effect.

Therefore, if you really want to shoot a good product, you'd better build a small studio at home and invest two or three thousand yuan.

Tips for shooting products II. Equipment preparation

If you want to make a good product drawing, you should also pay attention to the choice of equipment. Don't consider cameras such as card machines when visiting here, and don't consider that there are too few micro-lenses. Single battery can be considered, but in line with the principle of careful calculation, its price is still high. The best choice is an entry-level SLR. The standard kit costs more than 3000 yuan, and you can save some money to buy a macro lens.

In fact, although the shooting method of each product is different, the basic elements of shooting are actually the same, that is, controlling distortion and depth of field. On the premise of having a studio, lighting is not a problem. What we need to pay attention to is distortion and depth of field.

Tips for shooting products 3. Pay attention to control distortion.

Due to the distortion of the lens edge, it is easy to appear distortion when taking pictures of products, that is, the products are deformed and look ugly. The remedy is to stay away from the subject (following the perspective principle) and shoot the product with the telephoto end (the most distorted place is the wide-angle end). If you need to shoot the front view of the product, shoot the product completely horizontally, because tilting will also produce very obvious distortion.

Tips for shooting products 4. Pay attention to control the depth of field.

The depth of field of SLR is very small, which can create a very beautiful blurred background, but we need to pay attention to controlling the depth of field when shooting the product, otherwise the first half of the product is real and the second half is virtual, which is very ugly. We usually need to increase the depth of field, and the method is simple. We can get a great depth of field by narrowing the aperture to F8.

With soft lighting, controlling distortion and depth of field, it is very simple to shoot beautiful product drawings.
