I want to shoot Taobao model clothes, but I already have a SLR, but there is no studio and I can only shoot indoors. How should the lighting choose the scene?

If there is no professional studio to replace indoor shooting, we should pay attention to the following aspects.

1) If the indoor lighting is good, we should make full use of the natural light coming through the window. The model can stand in front of the window and let the outdoor light shine on him from the proofs or sides. Models can look out of the window gently. At this time, if the wind gently blows up the curtains and hair, it should be a beautiful photo. Please note that using natural light may leave a shadow on the model. At this time, you can fill the dark part of the model with reflector or flash. If the light coming in from the window is difficult, you can draw curtains to reduce the light entering the room.

2) If indoor lighting is not good, indoor lighting should be given priority to, and the flash of the camera or natural light outside the window can be used as a supplement. The disadvantage of this is that the light source conditions are very complicated. Therefore, it is necessary to set the white balance of the camera correctly, otherwise the photos taken will definitely have color difference. In addition, it is recommended to shoot in RAW format, so that the white balance can be readjusted after each photo is shot. When using flash to fill the light, it is suggested to use a soft mask or reflect the flash on the ceiling and wall to the model to avoid the light on the model being too hard to produce audio and video. The flash mode of the camera should be set to Hou Lian synchronous flash, which can better explain the model's environment and set off the home atmosphere of the photo.

3) The choice of scene mainly depends on what kind of clothes you are shooting. If it is pajamas, it is best to shoot in the bedroom; If it is a home service, it can be taken in the kitchen and living room; If the room has a balcony or garden, these places may set off the grade of clothes and the interest of photos.

4) Generally, indoor space is limited, so it is necessary to prepare a wide-angle lens to shoot the overall dress of the model. Of course, you can also take some close-ups of models and clothes with the medium focus lens. Models should try different postures according to the characteristics of clothing, either standing, doing or lying, but the postures should be natural and generous, not too artificial. Models should keep smiling and shoot according to the requirements of actors, as if they really own a house and live here. Photographers can try to take all kinds of photos: full body, bust, front, side, 45-degree side and various angles.

All the above are my own experiences, typed word by word, and it is very hard. But as long as it can help you, the hard work is worth it. I hope you can take satisfactory photos.
