How to build a simple studio

Many friends who like taking pictures or Taobao shopkeepers want to have their own studios. Below I will teach you how to build a simple studio, which is simple and practical!

1. DIY in product studio (method 1)

Required materials and manufacturing methods

1, bracket: This is made of PVC pipe. The frame can also be made of other materials.

2, background cloth: background cloth or background paper can be, depending on the size of the shelf.

3. Lighting lamp: A table lamp is enough for lighting, but a light bulb with a power of100W or more should be replaced.

4. Cover cloth: The cover cloth must be white with good light transmittance.

The production is completed and see how the shooting effect is!

Second, the product studio DIY (Method 2)

Materials required: carton, white paper, desk lamp.

Production method:

1, prepare a strong cardboard box;

2. Cut off the bottom of the carton and cut a rectangular space around it with a knife (as shown below);

Third, the top flash soft light cover DIY

Many people don't like to use the built-in flash of the camera because the light will be stiff and unnatural. To solve this problem, just make a simple soft mask yourself.

Take Sony NEX-5C as an example. The flash index of its standard external flash lamp is small, and the light emitted cannot be evenly diffused. If you want to achieve better results, you still have to "move your hands." So let's take it as an example to demonstrate how to make a soft light cover for the flash. Of course, this trick can be extended to the camera in your hand.

Materials required:

1, a pair of scissors, adhesive tape, a small sponge pad with a thickness of 5cm×3cm, and a piece of tin foil paper with a thickness of 4cm×1.5cm..

2. Soft sponge pad (thickness 2-3mm) is about the size of A4 paper, and cut into15cm×10cm 8cm×10cm each.

manufacturing method

1, left: Stick the small sponge pad and the tin foil.

2. Middle picture: Two sponge pads are overlapped and glued, and the bottom seam is cut with a blade until the flash can be inserted. Tin foil paper and a small sponge pad should be sandwiched in the middle, and the sponge pad should be close to the outside.

3. Right: Stick tin foil paper or bright iron sheet at the contact of the flash lamp holder. Sticking a small sponge pad under the flash can support the opening, and the upper piece will be more rigid, close to 90 degrees. The angle of reflection depends on the underlying sponge pad, which can increase the angle and fix the soft mask.

4. The completion effect is shown in the figure below.

In actual operation, the light quantity of the flash lamp will be reflected from the lower tin foil paper to the upper sponge pad, and then spread out. The longer the upper sheet is, the farther the refraction distance is.
