Furniture photography skills

Let me take you to know about furniture photography skills.

1. I remember talking about some skills of using light before, so I'll give you an example this time. For example, what are the functions of the two lights on the right? Is this photo added with natural light outside the window?

In fact, the light on the left of this picture is the main light, of course, it is also assisted by outdoor natural light, while the reflective umbrella on the right is white, which can be regarded as the overall supplementary light. The low one is the fill light under the bookshelf, thinking that the window will not fall to the ground and the ceiling will hit from top to bottom. The tall one near the window is 45? Theme and texture, this kind of fill light is very powerful, the photographer is a professional furniture photographer, but not all furniture can do this, not with high reflective paint. There is also a professional studio with a white top from top to bottom.

2. What kind of flash is the best for furniture photography? What configuration do you want?

More than 3 lights, 300W per light, immediate lighting, mainly to achieve the effect of playing the texture of furniture materials and reducing shadows. If you want the position outside the window, the camera parameters should be based on the normal outdoor exposure, and the indoor lighting should be supplemented by the flash. Never shoot directly with a high-power flash. Be sure to add a soft box before the flash. Otherwise, the strong reflection of furniture will lead to poor picture effect, which can not achieve the effect of expressing the fashion beauty and material texture of furniture. Shooting such a scene requires at least two studio flashlights, preferably three, but more flashlights may be needed, because a scene contains many products and the background needs to be full of light. Also, it is necessary to pay attention to the color temperature when shooting furniture, and it is necessary to shoot still life on the bookshelf.

3. Finally, in a scene of shooting furniture, accessories also played a very good auxiliary role. The placement of accessories should be reasonable, furniture products should be the protagonist, accessories should not be too dazzling to steal the mirror, and the types of accessories should be selected as far as possible in line with the style of furniture products, the quantity should be appropriate, and the placement position should be appropriate.
