Shooting still life indoors in winter.

Lead: You don't have to climb mountains and cross mountains to take pictures, and you can get the pleasure of taking pictures at any time. Don't go further than near, find a spacious professional studio, a few lamps, a box and a small room. Ugly people, I don't change my fun.

Seeing these exquisite works, are you also eager to shoot still life without leaving home in winter? Then, would you please come with me?

Many friends who like photography rarely have the opportunity to go out and take pictures. Once you feel itchy, you can only find things around you to shoot, whether it is fake flowers, ornaments, handicrafts, glassware, there are many objects you can shoot. It doesn't matter if there is no professional studio. Clean the dining table and install a small flash. Just as enjoyable.

In this film, I put my wife's lipstick on the glass dining table, and the effect is the same as that in the studio. My idea is to use the left and right clips to express the texture and color of lipstick, and shoot the subject without shadow on the glass desktop. I'm going to set off my lipstick with a black background? If this is easy to solve in the studio, but at home, there is no particularly dark background, we must find a way.

The last thing to consider is the shooting angle. When shooting a head-up angle, you need a black background behind the lipstick; Shooting a bird's-eye view requires a black background under glass. The actual scene layout is shown in the following page. ?

Shooting steps:

1, wipe the glass desktop first, and wipe the lipstick shell with glasses cloth. Note that it is best to wear cotton gloves at this time (chemical fiber is easy to get static electricity, so the lipstick shell can be bonded with fiber), and if there is a humidifier, it will help to eliminate static electricity.

2. The two flashlights are closer to the main body, and the soft box surface is parallel to the lipstick main body, so that the light spots on both sides of the lipstick are wider and straighter, and a richer tone transition can be achieved.

3. If you use a digital SLR, you'd better set the white balance manually, which is very beneficial to express the color of the object and ensure its accurate restoration.

4. Is the' black background' of head-up shooting the door of the opposite study? It was night, I opened the door and turned off the lights, and the room was dark. I used the scenery to achieve the effect of black background.

5. The black background of the backhand is to put my dark bag on the ground, as shown in the schematic diagram, so that a dark black effect is produced under the glass surface when the backhand is taken.

6. It is recommended to use the flash metering mode of hand-held exposure meter, with the soft light ball facing the camera and exposing according to the reading. If there is no flash, hang sulfuric acid paper on the surface of the light box and illuminate the back with continuous light. The position of the lamp remains the same. Photometry can be measured according to the middle tone of lipstick core. If you use the built-in exposure meter to measure light, pay attention to exposure compensation, about -2/3EV is enough; You can also do surround exposure and then choose according to your personal preference.

If possible, blow it with compressed air again before shooting, which will have better effect, make the original film clean and transparent, and avoid the trouble of repairing the film to remove fine hair later. ? This group of films imagine using a black background to set off the dark blue shell of lipstick and the texture of crimson paste, making it look more luxurious and dazzling. Judging from the samples taken, it basically achieved the expected goal. The lipstick I took this time is just an example of something that can be taken at home. You can also shoot other exquisite cosmetics and accessories in the same way. it wont hurt you to try it
