Four creative polishing of product photography

Four ideas of product photography: lighting products pay great attention to lighting skills. Professional photographers usually spend a lot of time shooting a product. In fact, some simple lighting can meet the shooting needs of ordinary people. Today, I will bring you some simple lighting skills, so that you can also take professional product photos. The following four lighting tips can make you feel different in the same environment. They are literary, magical and three-dimensional. Let's have a look. Style Many designers like to use some green plants or dried flowers to bring a fresh feeling when shooting products or scenes. If these props around you don't sell well, try this operation and show them with their shadows! Look at the picture. Does it feel like sitting in the park listening to insects? Bian Xiao did this: 1. Find some dried flowers and branches. If the leaves are yellow, the shooting effect may not be good, but it is very suitable for tree shadows! This photo uses only one light source and can be taken with a desk lamp. I hope the shadow outline of the branches and leaves is as clear as possible. So there is no need to add some transparent paper to the lamp holder, and there is no need for soft light. It can be seen from the shadow at the edge of the book that the shadow is biased because the light is too hard. The wine bottle in the picture below is used to support branches. Other materials can be used instead. When shooting, lift the desk lamp and put the book on the ground. Controlling the distance of lights can bring different effects. The farther the light is from the leaves, the clearer the shadows are. Then you can find an angle to put it down obliquely. Very clear. Backlight is rare in product photos, because it is easy to cause color cast and material misjudgment. However, if your product is transparent, try to let the light shine from the back, which can present a crystal clear aesthetic feeling. 1. Two LED light sources are used here. The larger light source is placed directly behind the perfume as the main light, and the smaller light source is placed on the side of the product to illuminate the cover, which has a reflective effect. Under the bottle, use a reflector to shoot the reflection. Place a translucent PP corrugated board between the main lamp and the perfume bottle to soften the light. If not, you can use a thinner tissue. 2. the main light used for shooting is LED lights composed of many small bulbs, so I pulled out the corrugated board and took another picture. 3. It becomes this picture. In fact, you can occasionally break the routine and take pictures in a different way, which sometimes brings unexpected results. White is simple. If you want to take clean photos, but don't want to look too boring, then try to use natural light to express it, give the product a little light, have the feeling of indoor sunshine, and add a three-dimensional sense to the product without destroying the original minimalist atmosphere. 1. Prepare the cardboard and cut a geometric figure on the cardboard to see the shape you want. 2. Let the light source directly illuminate the background wall through the geometric figures on the thick paper board. The white wall glows outside, completely blocked by black cardboard. In the photo, all the lights are illuminated by the natural light outside the window except the light shining on the wall. Natural light shines directly on the right side of the candle, while the black cardboard does not reflect the light on the left side, so there is only a weak shadow, which will make the surface of the candle look more stereoscopic. Cold and warm contrast. This move is more suitable for situational creative photography, because this effect will affect the original performance of goods. I use candles as a commodity here, and add two contrasting light sources next to the candles to create another feeling different from the daytime. In fact, this color is suitable for bars and other themes. You just need to put two light sources on the left and right sides of the candle and wrap them in a layer of color. The light sources placed on both sides can make the shape of the product surface more three-dimensional. When actually shooting, put two pieces of black cardboard between the wall and the lamp to ensure that the background will not be eaten, only on the goods. In photography, lighting skill is a university question, and different lighting methods can bring different effects. This polishing method is the simplest skill and the best way to find equipment. You can take professional product photos without professional knowledge. If you are at home, you can try this.
