How to shoot stainless steel?

The question you asked. I summarized it roughly.

As far as your problem is concerned, the surface of the stainless steel object you want to shoot should be quite bright, otherwise it will not shine and will be reflected by the environment.

1. As the upstairs said. If it can be treated by frosting, the problems such as reflection will be basically solved.

2. If you don't handle the items, start with the shooting mechanism.

1) If the item is not big. Using the still life table and the simplest backlight, this paper tries to simulate the symmetrical and soft texture of window light with reflected light. You can also use a reflector to illuminate the front light (upper side lighting), the camera (SLR with lens polarizer) is one step higher for exposure compensation, and the f/4 aperture is used for background blur setting. Set the white balance to tungsten lamp or incandescent lamp. It is best to use a small aperture of 9- 16, and the shutter is about 180/ 1. Of course, it is to shoot metal with constant light, not flash. Reflection, reflection and color development will be solved. As for the texture, it is closely related to the camera you shot, but it is much better than shooting with a camera alone.

2) The items are large. If they are not too big, try to stay in the dark studio. The shooting technique is as big as above. Light distribution is the simplest triangular light, and auxiliary light is added to the main light side.

3) If you can only shoot in the open air and natural light, you should choose the time period. The best time is 4 pm in a day, that is, at dusk. Appropriate shade to avoid direct sunlight, just make do.

4) The easiest way, no matter how you shoot, PS post-processing, shooting that is not handled well. If we strive for perfection, the texture should also start from ps.

I'm glad to answer your question.

That's all I thought about in general. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact.

Thank you, hope to adopt.
