If you want to shoot small items, put them on the table. Next, let's talk about how to shoot small items.

Make a background first. In order to make a beautiful and tidy display plane and background, hang a piece of seamless paper about half a meter behind the item, so that the lower part of the paper covers the desktop where the item is placed.

Secondly, put the object to be photographed on the table with its most important side facing the camera. If it can't stand upright by itself, lean it against other objects, or simply lay it flat on the table. The purpose of this is to make the most important side of the object parallel to the camera's photosensitive chip, so that the most important side can focus. If the article is placed on the front side, it is very beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, but unless a small aperture is used, this placement will lead to insufficient clarity of the packaging. The way items are placed also depends on whether they are packaged or not. If there is no packaging box, the front view is a better choice.

Thirdly, in the aspect of light distribution, multiple lamps are used to illuminate the subject at 45 degrees from both sides. Subtle and balanced lighting effect can be obtained from side lighting, and reflection and glare can be minimized.

Fourth, if possible, try to view the photos on a larger monitor screen before the shooting officially ends. You can copy the pictures to the hard disk of the computer screen, and even some cameras can be directly connected to the TV to watch the pictures.

Fifth, macro photography is one of the specialties of digital cameras, which has great advantages in shooting small things, such as water drops, jewelry, flowers and birds, fish and insects, etc.

In addition to the above shooting steps, we should also pay attention to the use of tripod in the shooting process, so as to ensure that the camera and the subject are at the same height. Also pay attention to the setting of white balance, so as to ensure accurate color reproduction. Last but not least, don't show your signature card or label on the photo.

I wish you happiness!
