How to shoot perfume well? Six super creative shooting methods make you a "master of fragrance shooting"

Perfume can be said to be "the poison of a woman's life and the hormone of a man's walking." So, have you ever thought about how to make ordinary perfume look advanced and beautiful?

As far as the above two works are concerned, the focus and difficulty of perfume shooting lies in "light", which not only shows the texture of the bottle itself, but also increases its high-end charm. But creativity is more important. How to tap some ideas to enhance the charm of perfume?

1, lighting

Since the focus of perfume shooting is "light", let's talk about lighting first. Here for two different types of bottled perfume to do the following induction and summary.

① transparent bottle body

Shooting a transparent bottle should not only show the shape of the bottle, but also show the color and texture of the liquid in the bottle, so it is necessary to use transmitted light for illumination.

In addition, for different shapes of liquid cosmetics, the edge and shape structure of the bottle body become the focus and difficulty of performance. Soft lights can be placed at the left, right and top of the bottle, and a white reflector can be added below the front to make the two sides, top cover and bottom of the bottle produce white linear light.

② Opaque bottle body

Many bottles of perfume or cosmetics are not transparent. When we encounter white and black bottles, we might as well treat them into corresponding tones to reflect the noble and elegant taste. It can be slightly polished from the top to show the shape of the bottle.

There is a detail to pay attention to when lighting. If you shoot a perfume with a transparent bottle and a dark bottle cap, if there is not enough light to illuminate the dark bottle cap, it is easy to have the problem of normal exposure of the bottle body and insufficient exposure of the bottle cap, that is, the bottle cap turns black. At this time, try to let the light illuminate the bottle cap.

2. Background processing

It is well known that photography is the art of subtraction. After determining the subject, we should continue to "do subtraction"-reduce redundant elements in the picture and reduce the interference to the subject picture, so as to better highlight the subject. A black or white background is usually used. Perfume photographed on a black background gives people a feeling of mysterious temptation, while white gives people a feeling of cleanliness and freshness.

Of course, you can also choose the background color according to the color of the product to make the picture more colorful, such as color matching, texture background, cloth background, marble background, leather background and so on.

In addition, the facula can easily create a small and fresh style of blurred fantasy for the picture, which is a weapon to shoot literary style from a plain scene. A string of lights can be added to the background, which can capture the effect of light spots. The biggest advantage is controllability. You can adjust the effect of scattered scenes by changing the number and color of lights.

3. Composition and layout

How to embody the hierarchical relationship, picture balance and color matching in the work directly affects the visibility of the whole video. There should be many creative breakthroughs in composition. For some perfumes with special shapes, we should try our best to shoot from the angle that can reflect our own characteristics.

If you feel that it is too boring to shoot perfume from the front, you can also try to shoot it from another angle and try to show the perfume from the side, top and bottom.

4, the use of props

If you want to fix the subject, or make the subject stand upright or inclined, these props can come in handy, such as fishing line, plastic, double-sided tape and so on. I have to mention the long tail clip here, which is one of the props commonly used by individuals to place products and increase the sense of inclination; Fixed background; And a reflector.

In addition, the single spray of perfume is direct and concise, but it is also suspected of simplicity. At this time, shooting with other props and choosing some beautiful scenery can enhance the style of the product and make the picture interesting. With the help of props, the product is more attractive and the picture is more balanced.

A. books

Books and magazines you usually buy are all careful machines that can be used as props for shooting. Compared with magazines with colorful fashion blockbusters as props, individuals prefer magazines with cool covers, which are not too eye-catching and the pictures look more textured.

B. necessities of life

For example, sunglasses, lipstick, computers, bags, such living surroundings are also good props, so that items full of a sense of life can create a sense of life. The choice of auxiliary props should conform to your shooting theme, whether it is attribute or color.

C. the tray is the existence of saving everything.

If you just want to take a quiet still life, then the most practical ones are all kinds of trays.

D. flowers and plants

Finally, I have to mention that plants, especially flowers and plants, whether ordinary objects or scenes, can grow bigger in a second with these sets.

The most important thing is that as an ornament, it is used to set off and serve the main body. You can't steal the limelight from the subject. The positioning of embellishment in a picture is green leaves and supporting roles, so its expressive force is weaker than the main body. Let people prioritize at a glance, not feel that they can't find the key points.

5. splash.

How to shoot water and energy? Just let the perfume fall into the water. Completely moist and attractive. This kind of work is also a common technique in commercial photography, and I believe everyone has seen a lot of it on various occasions.

The difficulty in taking this kind of photo is the control of shutter speed. In free fall, bubbles rise, water splashes and perfume smells quickly, so try to freeze the picture completely with a higher shutter speed.

In addition, the popular water ripple shooting method of Tik Tok can also be tried.

6. Creative light painting

Light painting, with colorful light sources as "brushes", uses the camera's long exposure mode to play all kinds of wonderful tricks in the dark environment.

The most important thing is to be creative, only you can't think of it, remember that you can't shoot it without you! If you can still click PS, then you can play in another way, such as the following. Isn't it interesting?

abstract

Perfume photography, seemingly simple, is not easy, but with more practice, I believe you will also become a "master of fragrance"! The most important thing is creativity. As long as you are creative enough, you can make good movies with your mobile phone.
