How to take beautiful still life photos with micro-single?

1. The biggest difference between novice still life photography and landscape and portrait is that there are almost no variables in the scene, and all the background and light are under your control, so you must carefully adjust and come up with the most creative shooting method to show the interest of the subject.

2. Choosing an object First of all, shoot what you don't want others to shoot, and find a subject that you feel relaxed and interesting; Secondly, avoiding some reflective materials, such as metal and glass, is difficult for beginners to control; Then slowly grasp the key points, you can compound the main body, put things with strong contrast such as talent, modeling and color together, and then Shoot.

3. Controlling the light For ordinary people, it is not practical to buy a set of studio lights, but we can also control the light. First of all, curtains and other things should be used to eliminate all the disturbing light sources in the room, and then even a desk lamp can create a good effect: try different settings, and the front light, back light and side light all have different effects. In addition, you can also use the natural light source with single window, which is also a good choice.

4. Use a tripod to increase the depth of field by using a thinner aperture, which can clearly focus the front and back of the object, so use a slower shutter to make the exposure full, so use an upper tripod to avoid hand shock. Since you use a tripod, you might as well adjust several different angles, such as a bird's eye view, but be careful not to project the camera onto the object.

5. Choosing the background carefully will greatly affect the subject's feeling, so it is the easiest way to handle it carefully and keep it simple. For example, a wall, a piece of paper or even a piece of black flannel will absorb excess light and make the main body stand out.

6. Composition For still life photography, composition is very important, and the tension of photos almost comes from this. Trigonometry is basic, so we must think about what elements should be in the photo and what is the relationship between them. Do they set each other off or interfere with each other? Carefully choose the content of the photo and the settings of the object.

7. Repeated shooting Because the scene is unchangeable, we can adjust various details until it is perfect. Even after trying all the ideas, take a break and have a cup of tea, and then continue when we come back to take the best photos.

8. Seek inspiration from the master. If you can't find any shooting goals or ways to improve, you can refer to the works of many photographers on the Internet, and more importantly, you can refer to the famous works of some painters in the past. These paintings can provide considerable photographic inspiration in terms of light, color and talent.
