How to make watches and jewelry shoot better?

As far as commercial photography is concerned,

First of all, the right equipment

Because watches and jewelry are generally small, close-up photography should be done when shooting. Therefore, friends who make jewelry should consider close-range photography when purchasing equipment. The camera you choose should have the function of macro photography. If you can buy a SLR digital camera, choose a medium-long focal length lens and a macro lens. If a medium-long focal length lens is used, the closest focusing distance between the lens and the subject can be larger, and the light distribution is more convenient. However, if you want to have a high-quality picture, it is better to choose a macro lens.

Second, shoot the lights.

Generally speaking, gold and silver jewelry is illuminated by soft light, while faceted crystals and gems are illuminated by direct light. When lighting, we must pay attention to whether the texture of jewelry can be well reflected.

Whether each face and edge of jewelry reaches the ideal brightness, etc. If it is not ideal, we must work hard and carefully adjust it to perfection.

Third, exposure compensation

Generally speaking, close-range photography needs exposure compensation. According to the choice of background, we should also make some exposure compensation, because the camera itself judges the exposure principle according to 18% gray scale, so the exposure follows the principle of white plus black minus. In other words, the white background increases the exposure 1 -2, and the black background decreases the exposure 1 -2. Therefore, in the case that the exposure cannot be accurately judged, it is recommended that the seller take some photos with different exposure indices. If the camera is advanced, you can try to surround the exposure. It will be better to select the most suitable photos from the obtained photos and then post-produce.

Generally speaking, professional studios make a fuss about lighting. In order to soften the light, there is a special soft light, that is, a soft light cover is added to the light. Now that you understand this truth, you can do it. Buy a sulfuric acid copy paper with good light transmittance as a soft light tool. Then turn on the desk lamp to see if the effect is good. It should be noted that the depth of field of macro photography is related to the shooting distance. When taking macro photography, the depth of field is very small, and the aperture of the camera must be smaller, preferably F8, F 1 1. In addition, macro photography needs a small aperture to ensure the depth of field, so the shutter speed is relatively slow, and a tripod is essential. This can ensure that shaking is prevented and the picture is clear when shooting. Then adjust some parameters of the camera, because you have a tripod, you can choose a lower sensitivity, so that the photos taken are less rash and the baby's texture is more delicate. It will make the baby look more refined and expensive.

In terms of file size, it is recommended to adjust it to the maximum file size, so that it is convenient to capture a close-up of a detail in the picture without shooting again. Finally, the adjustment of white balance, home digital cameras can use automatic white balance function, if you use manual white balance adjustment function, you can experiment one by one, get the best one, and determine which white balance setting to use.

Good-looking pictures are all optically processed or modified.

Wipe your watch clean before taking pictures. When shooting, turn on the micro-focus, measure the light in the center, turn off the flash, improve the contrast, fine-tune the picture and reduce the sensitivity.
