Do you have any skills to shoot still life?

Hello, I'm a lecturer at the photo reading club!

Techniques and methods of shooting still life

1 First, you need to determine the subject, and you need to choose the appropriate background, environment, color contrast and composition according to the subject.

2, the choice of the subject, what kind of photos to take depends entirely on your own interests. But in every work, we need to highlight the theme-that is, still life. For example, if you drop this picture, the pineapple lining completely covers the subject we want to shoot, which is very undesirable.

3. Selection of background

The background should be simple and beautiful, and it won't have much influence on your subject.

4, composition, light and shadow, etc

In still life shooting, because a lot of lights are used, there are certain requirements in light and shadow. For example, you should learn from inverse square law, understand the arrangement of lights, and solve the problem of material reflection. These are not friendly to novices. If you have skills, you must learn more and practice more. Just reading the text will not increase much.

Summary: If you only shoot still life, remember one thing, and you must highlight the subject.

1, the main body should be prominent, and the inner container should not steal the limelight.

2, the background should be single, can highlight the main body.

3. Selection of composition: trisection, diagonal method, etc. To consider this obvious theme.

4, the use of light and shadow is the key to still life shooting, learn to use light.
