Kneel down and beg. ． What should you pay attention to when taking photos of glass, metal, leather, and textiles? What are the requirements?

1. There are two things in common, that is, when taking photos of these four things, you must pay attention to reflections. Especially glass and metal, leather is fine, but textiles must make good use of reflections!

2. Texture, these four things require texture when photographed. Especially metal and leather. Next are textiles and glass.

Notes:

1. Pay attention to the use of Side light and backlight. This is to prevent reflections during forward lighting.

2. Use a polarizer to eliminate unnecessary reflections.

3. The angle of photography, in addition to eliminating unnecessary reflections, Reflection is also for composition and to show the texture of the product. It is very important to choose the right angle.

4. Color, this problem, glass is not easy to photograph, because the glass is transparent, if it is colored , such as brown, blue. Then lighting and exposure are very important. Otherwise, the glass will be colorless and transparent, like the glass we commonly use, and lose its original luster. Metals also have this problem. Leather and textiles are slightly better. Click.

5. It is best to take pictures on a still life stage, which avoids the disadvantages of cluttered backgrounds. And you can arrange the lighting well. Take a few more pictures, see the effect, and then adjust the colors and colors of the lighting and background. The angle at which the product is placed.

6. Shadows, where there is light, must be utilized or eliminated. The shadow of glass is very light and can be eliminated with a slightly darker background. The shadow of metal is heavier, if If you don’t leave it, you have to wash it out with light or change the shooting angle. The same goes for leather. However, sometimes, shadow is also a way to express the texture of space.

7. We still need to emphasize the importance of texture. You should take this problem seriously. You can even think of other ways. For example, applying oil to the metal can eliminate strong reflections and create a "slippery" feeling. Leather oil can be applied to the leather, too. It's bright and textured.

8. Use reflection: For example, glass, be careful not to cast your own shadow on it. The metallic luster often mentioned is reflective. Textiles such as silk are also reflective.

I typed so many words. Isn’t it very tiring? ^^ It depends on how you use light and shadow, angles, reflections, etc. In fact, it is all a game of light.
