How to shoot different grades of Taobao shoes

Lead: Shoes are one of the commodities that are relatively easy to sell. Finding the right layout and composition and shooting according to the right focus can get good results, but there are still several points for attention when shooting shoes. In this section, we will learn the photography methods and precautions of shoes.

1, ready to shoot shoes

Patting shoes is similar to patting bags and belts. The ceiling lights and side lights are basically arranged as follows. Here, the side lights are pulled forward to make the distance a little farther. In order to brighten the top light and create a shadow beside the side light, the settings are as follows. The light at the top is also used to add illumination to the interior. When patting shoes, pat them slightly from top to bottom, so that proper light can enter, thus obtaining good results. After preparation, you should also prepare reflectors and soft towels to keep your shoes bright and clean.

Photographic layout

2, real shoes

When shooting shoes, as long as the layout is proper and the display is sufficient. Let's learn more about the photography methods of leather shoes, sports shoes and slippers.

leather shoes

First, let's see how to shoot leather shoes. Leather shoes have a certain luster. When setting the lighting, try to show the luster of a specific part (mainly the front for leather shoes), and it is best to follow the diagonal layout, not the front or side. Try to put all kinds of information on the front, side and inside in one photo.

1 In the picture on the left, you can see the front and back of the leather shoes at the same time, and you can also see some of them, which is the most basic composition for conveying a variety of information at the same time. On the right, shooting from other angles may give people a sense of distortion. For clothing products, distortion may cause misunderstanding of buyers; But for leather shoes, it's best to give people a little sense of distortion, because it can show the advanced sense of leather shoes, but avoid excessive distortion.

Many experts think it is very easy to shoot shoes, including leather shoes. Because you only need to find the right layout and composition, plus soft lighting, it is easy to get satisfactory results. The following results can be obtained by slightly modifying the above results and adjusting the brightness and texture.

Next, let's see how to shoot sneakers. When shooting sports shoes, the material should be perfectly presented. If it is a functional sports shoe, the detailed lens should also be presented. When shooting white sports shoes, the background may be blocked, so you must be familiar with the following photography methods.

1 If a white background with the same color as white goods is used, the belt part or the edge part will often be blocked by the background. Anyone who has had this experience knows that although many methods of taking pictures have been tried, they can't solve this problem well. The reason for this problem is that the brightness of light received by the background and goods is the same. That is to say, in this case, if the goods are photographed in dim light, the same result will appear in the background, so only adjusting the brightness can not solve this problem.

The solution is to set the background and commodity lighting separately. At the same time, make the background and products as far away as possible.

Shooting the lighting layout of white goods

The ceiling lamp is used to illuminate the background, and the side lamp (or lamp) is used to illuminate the goods. At the same time, adjust the brightness of the ceiling lamp to the maximum, and dim the side lamp (or lamp) slightly, instead of the appropriate brightness. When shooting with this setting, the background will be completely white and the goods will look a little dim. In other words, there is a clear difference between the background and the commodity. If the brightness is corrected properly, satisfactory photos can be obtained.

Slippers and sandals

Finally, look at how to shoot slippers and sandals. Shooting slippers and sandals is different from the previous two situations, because sandals can see inside, so you should shoot them in detail. Pay attention to the shadow produced by the slipper belt when taking pictures. At this time, you can use the reflector to add light to the needed parts.

Next, shoot children's sandals. You should work hard on the parts that are easily covered by shadows when shooting. If it is a primary color commodity, it should be photographed brightly, giving people a refreshing and cool feeling. Compared with rich photography experience and skills, we should give full consideration to composition when shooting shoes.
