Practical still life lighting skills

1. Although the subject is still life, we should carefully control the contrast to avoid too bright light and too many shadows. The main lighting is provided by Polaroid 250 lamp holder with soft box.

2. This device is arranged very close to the subject, providing enough light to eliminate shadows.

3. Place a reflector on the right side of the subject to ensure that the irradiated light is uniform and prevent Gao Fancha when the main light deviates to the side.

4. Shooting method Using the light outside the window to shoot at home is a perfect solution, but it can only be done during the day.

But the white days in winter are very short. If we hope that our creative enthusiasm will not be affected by the generosity or meanness of the sun, then we need a more stable and reliable light source.

6. Studio lighting group may be the best solution, but a simpler and cheaper solution does not exist. Although the desk lamp is simple and cheap, because it is not designed to meet the needs of photography, the light is not soft enough, and direct use can only get a strong contrast effect.

7. At first glance, it is not our ideal choice. But in fact, we can build our own mini still life studio based on the desk lamp.
