A course of jewelry photography skills

The camera is the stop of time, and photography is to seize every memorable moment in the passing time.

Jewelry photography skill 1: composition method

I. Trigonometry

Put the subject on the intersection of nine squares, or try to divide the picture lines into nine squares.

Second, the guidelines.

Use the lines and color blocks in the picture to guide the viewer's eyes to focus.

Third, the diagonal line

Slant lines can add vitality to photos without looking dull.

Four. structure

Observe the scene carefully and make full use of the frame elements in the picture, such as windows, doors and holes.

5. Find the contrast between the background and the subject.

It is best for the subject and background to form a certain correlation or contrast.

Fill in the picture

Being as close to the subject as possible not only compresses the redundant elements of Jiao Wai, but also creates a visual sense of shock and oppression.

Seven, the main eye on the center line of the picture.

When taking a portrait, put the main eye of the character on the central axis of the photo.

Eighth, look for textures and repeating elements.

Textures and repetitive elements bring a sense of order, but such photos will be boring if they are not handled well, so it is best to have some conflicting elements in the picture. The so-called conflict element can be either human or color contrast.

Nine, symmetrical composition

The simplest and original composition method can effectively increase the sense of balance of photos and is not easy to try.

Jewelry Photography Skill 2: Selection of Equipment

The most necessary condition is also the most important condition. The choice of camera lens is also very important to take good product photos. For jewelry and other products, ordinary card machines are not enough. At least you should buy an entry-level SLR, and the price is above 3000. You can buy a macro head for lens selection. Why buy a macro head? Because the product needs to take some detailed photos, it is difficult to take satisfactory photos because the focal length of ordinary lens is too far, which requires a macro head, and the imaging effect of the macro head is very good.

Jewelry photography skill 3: how to shoot well when the equipment is selected?

In the light distribution, it is a very important link in the preliminary work. Jewelry is characterized by high reflection, which can reflect all the irradiated light back.

This time, I will focus on the lighting method of diamond jewelry. The characteristics of diamonds are formed after processing. These sections will reflect countless lights under the irradiation of light, which makes the diamond shine. If you want to shoot this effect, choose the lighting mode of the lighting exhibition. According to the brightness of different faces, highlight different corners, so that each edge can produce clear light. If you want to completely eliminate the reflection on jewelry, you can build a small seamless paper studio yourself. This small studio should be completely closed. Open a hole in the front, put the lens in and shoot, and put the lamp outside to shine on the small tent, so that the light will be more uniform and the side and front of the diamond can shoot shiny effects.
