How to shoot a photographic faucet

You need a larger area of soft paper or soft cloth (if the cloth is wrinkled when used, it will be reflected in it). The lights on different sides should be close together at the joint, so that the thick black line on your faucet will not appear. In addition, the brightness of the luminous surface and the reflective surface reflected on it is definitely different, so if you put the faucet on a white desktop, the brightness and color of the piece on the desktop opposite it will be different, so it is best to frame it.

At least buy a tripod (unless there is a table shelf machine suitable for shelf). If there is no SLR, the lamp and lampshade are fine, but at least there must be a DIY cover. . . I've made this myself before, made of cardboard. Then, the cover is made of silver paper (reflective) and black paper (wrapped in several layers). The opening area of the cover should be large, and white cloth should be wrapped to increase the diffusion area of the light source to achieve the effect of softening and diffusing the light source. . . Of course, if the boss is bored, he can go to Taobao to find ready-made ones! ! It should not be expensive.

In the final analysis, the most important thing is to control the optical fiber! ! The softer the better. . . The larger the diffusion area, the better (i.e. uniform light reception). . . At most, more tricolor white light (Taiwan Province) can be used for all-round illumination (with cover).

There is another trick-find a "magic mirror", a big one, and the desk lamp directly hits the mirror to reflect the light to the object. This is simple and the effect is passable (that is, the angle must be controlled well). . .

Because the faucet is a smooth curved surface, it is difficult to get a clear and attractive vision of 100% without reflecting light. When shooting, you can minimize the reflection: don't use a flash, use a cloth lamp and soft light (there is no special soft light cover, you can use a white cloth to separate it, and put the machine on a tripod if the light is weak) to make the light soft and appropriate, and at the same time add a polarizer (CPL) to filter out the excessive reflection, so as to shoot a satisfactory film.

Finally, there are covers, lamps, tables and mirrors. . . Good luck
