How to shoot digital products more attractively

Introduction: The surface of most electronic products is very smooth and easily reflects other objects. How to take photos without reflection? Here are two ideas, one is to pass the lens through the white paper, and the other is to use waste cardboard boxes to transform the studio. This is a simple and cost-effective trick for small buyers. Use a piece of A4 white paper, dig out a small round hole in the middle, hide the camera behind the white paper, and extend the lens from the round hole, like this People's figures will not be reflected on electronic products.

Dig a hole in the middle of a piece of A4 white paper, and extend the lens from it to eliminate the shadow reflected on the surface of the phone. The shadow problem is solved, but what should we do in the studio? Don’t worry, let’s do this next Come and listen to me talk about a DIY photo studio

First of all, find an old cardboard box and put A4 white paper on three sides of the cardboard box. In order to prevent the white paper from slipping, you can do a little processing before placing it. Use transparent tape to stick the three pieces of white paper into a cube. After it is done, put the cube into the carton, thus transforming it into a simple soft light photography box. (pictured below).

In order to verify the effect of this soft light photography box, take shooting a Motorola mobile phone as an example. Needless to say, everyone knows that this is a flip phone with a very smooth surface. The problems mentioned above all exist, that is, it is easy to reflect other objects. Before shooting, place the mobile phone diagonally in the middle of the carton (the diagonal placement is to prevent the composition from becoming dull). When ready, start shooting

Place the phone diagonally in the middle of the photo box, with the lens passing through the white paper and the light shining on it. Mobile phone, ready to start shooting

If you don’t use white paper to block the projection, a thick shadow will appear on the surface of the mobile phone. Although the consequences are not serious, buyers will definitely not like it.

If there is no white paper in front of the lens, there will be a shadow on the surface of the mobile phone in the photo. Although the camera’s built-in flash is necessary, it is certainly not omnipotent. Don’t believe it? Try shooting with a flash. The result must be terrible, the phone is as black as a paste, and there are no details at all.

Turning on the flash to take pictures on mobile phones, there are no details at all

If the flash cannot be used, it is always possible to use a desk lamp to create a light source? It must be possible, but the lighting of the desk lamp is also very particular. If you use If the lighting angle is too low, thick shadows will still appear. There is no doubt that the picture below is also a failure.

If the light position is too low, shadows will appear on the surface of the mobile phone.

Raise the position of the desk lamp to illuminate the entire mobile phone. However, because of the distance, the light will become correspondingly weaker. What should I do? At this time, do you think of using a large aperture to increase the amount of light? Unfortunately, if you have the same idea as me at the beginning, you will still get a failed photo (as shown below).

Using a large aperture to take pictures of mobile phones, the picture is not sharp enough and the details are not outstanding.

Finally, try a small aperture. The photos taken are very sharp, and the smooth surface and texture of the mobile phone can be shown.

Using a small aperture to shoot mobile phones, details and materials can be expressed

For an online store product picture, an appearance picture alone is not enough. At this time, another To take some detailed pictures, you can turn the phone open and take close-up shots of the screen, buttons, interfaces and other details.
