How to take attractive photos of Taobao leather bags

Introduction: How to photograph Taobao leather bags in an attractive way? Let’s take a look at the Taobao store owner’s tutorial.

1 Compose your shot while looking through the camera’s viewfinder.

2 Move the shooting angle slightly downward, focus on the subject, and then take a test shot.

3 Confirm the parts that need adjustment while taking test shots.

4 The overall brightness of the photo on the left below is darker, and the photo on the right is a photo taken with appropriate exposure. Under the same conditions, the brightness can also be adjusted using only the aperture value. Depending on the situation, without changing the lighting or environment, camera settings can be used to adjust brightness.

6 However, the light reflected by the reflectors is weaker than the light emitted by the lighting, so light appears The results flow from the left to the right. Looking at the photo on the right, the dark parts are reduced compared to the photo taken without the luminous panel, but since it is weaker than the light emitted from the lighting, the feeling of light flowing is not lost. In short, shoot repeatedly and use all possible problem-solving methods to get the best possible picture.

7 Next, shoot some partial shots. Appearance plays an important role when buyers decide whether to buy. But for products like bags, the interior design of the bag must also be conveyed to buyers. When taking pictures, first take out the newspapers or scratch paper stuffed in the bag. The problem here is that it is not easy to photograph directly inside the schoolbag. At this time, as shown in the picture on the right, use pliers to completely open the bag, and then take pictures.

9 Bags are usually made of specific materials. If you want to fully express the material of the bag, it is best to use the specific material when shooting. Part of it is enlarged, and at the same time, the characteristic part of the schoolbag must be carefully photographed. The photo below shows the connection part and zipper of the shoulder strap on the side of the schoolbag. The shoulder straps are very important for bags, so be sure to photograph them. If you don’t take photos because of bad shoulder straps, most of them will be returned. In short, if all aspects of the package are not fully disclosed, it is also the seller's responsibility if problems arise. As shown in the photo to the right, the secure stitching and zippers give it a sturdy feel. In this way, after post-correction operations are performed on the overall and partial photos, they can be used as material for product sales webpages, or they can be published directly.
