How to take pictures of jade with an Apple phone (tutorial on techniques for taking pictures of jade with a cell phone)

1. Unify the time for photographing jadeite. This refers to the time spent photographing jade, not the time spent looking at the phone. "Beauty under the Moon and Jade Under the Lamp". When photographing jadeite with a mobile phone, you should use natural light, preferably on a sunny day. The recommended time is between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., because during this time, the light is the strongest. Although the color temperature is high, the The jade photos taken are full and clear, and the details can be seen very clearly. This is also the most objective time for people to look at jade in the store.

2. Unify the location where the jadeite was photographed. When photographing jadeite with complex and diverse water colors, the best natural light is "scattered light". Our experience is that when shooting indoors next to a floor-to-ceiling window, the light from one or both sides can fully enter the lens. The light is neither strong nor dark. The jadeite will also show better details due to the soft light, and objectively reflect the quality of the jadeite. , this is the best place to take pictures of jade with your mobile phone. Try not to take photos in the sun. Such photos will make the jade appear dry, without water head, and will also be distorted.

3. Unify the background and reference objects for shooting. Different backgrounds will determine the exposure and sensitivity of the photo, but the iPhone series can solve this problem relatively well. Even on a pure black and white background, it can still truly restore the color and planting water of jadeite.

4. There are no special requirements for the selection of background. In order to reflect good planting water, a dark background is usually used. To reflect the integrity of the bracelet, a neutral background is used, and the color is particularly dark. For example, Mo Cui can also use a light background to highlight details. When shooting, you should center on the jadeite and click to focus. At the same time, the phone will also adjust the corresponding data according to the focus core.

5. When photographing extremely small jadeite such as rings and rings, you should enlarge the jadeite on your mobile phone instead of getting infinitely close to the object. Infinite proximity will cause the photo to be blurry, while zooming in on the jadeite on your mobile phone will reflect the details. In order to enhance everyone's intuitive understanding of the size of jadeite, a comparison photo is usually taken, such as a one-yuan coin, and a comparison photo of the jadeite and skin is usually taken, so that everyone can roughly imagine the effect after wearing it.

6. Magnify the key points and parts. If it is a jade carving, we will ask to take detailed pictures. We can discover the essence of the jade carving through the enlarged details. At the same time, we will also use the enlarged pictures to clearly see the flaws, cracks, dirty spots or other flaws in the jadeite. Take a photo of jadeite with transparent light. If the planting water is good, you can use the natural light backlighting method; if the planting water is poor or the jadeite is thick, you can use a strong flashlight to shoot with backlighting. Transparent lighting can help us see the internal structure and structure of the jadeite clearly. Color distribution, and we also found internal defects such as dirty spots through light-transmitting photos.
