How to pat leather (luggage) with light?

It is best to use seamless background paper to shoot leather (bags), which will be easier to handle later. If you shoot smaller leather (bags), you can also use the still life stage.

3, lighting lamps and lanterns selection

Two soft lights are enough to shoot leather clothes (luggage), and there is no need to buy other lights. The side light is the main light, and the front light is the auxiliary light (a little farther than the side light). The light ratio of the main lamp and the auxiliary lamp is about 3: 1. Check the shadow of the bag until there is no ghost.

In order to highlight the texture of leather, the side light angle is about 60 degrees. Be careful not to be too close to the whole lamp, the height of the lamp is slightly higher than that of the bag. When shooting, you should adjust the lights while shooting.

2. Adjustment of camera parameters during lighting.

First, set the camera to bright, then according to the actual effect, the exposure increment is +0.3- 1.3EV (the bigger the number, the brighter the picture), and the camera sensitivity is controlled below 800. If there is a tripod, it is controlled below 200 before shooting. At the same time, balance metering is needed. Select P mode, and the white balance will be automatic. If there is obvious color cast, switch to PRE mode, and then take a blank sheet of paper for reference.

Extended data:

Don't shoot leather clothes (luggage) too close, use a focal length of about 50 mm, the perspective distortion is more obvious if it is too close, and the wide-angle head generally has barrel distortion. Generally, don't let the bag completely fill the picture, leaving a little room for the back. To calibrate the white balance of the camera, it is best to buy a white balance card, which is not easy to cast color.

When shooting, it is not only necessary to know how to arrange the light, but also to patiently arrange the shape of leather goods (suitcases). For example, a bag can hold cloth, clothes, etc. Let it stand. It also depends on whether the hand of the bag stands straight and whether the shapes on both sides are symmetrical.

The light should be evenly distributed, the distance between the two lamps should be the same as far as possible, and the angle should be the same, so that there will be no shadow. Color difference is caused by the problem of white balance setting. It is recommended to use custom white balance, so that the color reproduction is accurate. Or you can adjust the white balance and correct the color difference in post-processing, but you must calibrate the display first, otherwise there will still be color difference when you watch it on different displays.
