Glass bottle photography skills

The fallen leaves in the glass bottle are still picked up by us. The glass bottle shooting skills of literary and commercial models can be collected. The following is the information about glass bottle photography skills that I have compiled for you for your reference!

Glass bottle photography skills 1: shooting tool assistance

Shoot with a black background

Because glass products are easily buried in front of the black background, if white auxiliary lighting is used, the lines of the subject will become obvious and the shape and outline will be clear. In addition, in order to be able to take a three-dimensional view, the lights need to be placed in front.

Secondly, you should be familiar with the halo effect of using fire-proof board. The transition from light to dark can explain the shape of the subject well. Fireproof boards can be used not only when shooting transparent objects, but also when shooting gradient background. With the different bending degree of the fireproof board, the effect is different and it is very exciting.

In addition, changing the black fireproof board into white or other colors to shoot the same object has different effects.

About auxiliary light source

When shooting glass products in combination with other objects, if you can't have the best of both worlds only by using transmitted light, you need to add an auxiliary light source from above or in front. For works with strong light in the back, you can adjust the placement of items (this time with fruits) and the position of lights back and forth, so that you can get a clean picture.

The use of spotlights

This kind of light can generally be seen in exhibition halls and other places. Spotlight is the most effective if the lighting effect is concentrated. Use a spotlight to illustrate the shape, and then if you use floodlight or indirect lighting, sometimes sharp shadows will form in the picture.

When shooting glass products, light can show the unique texture and softness of glass products in lighting.

Shooting glass products with complex shapes

When shooting glass products with complex shapes, we should first roughly determine the light distribution position, and then fine-tune the light distribution scene according to the shape and shadow of the object being photographed, so that the shooting efficiency can also be guaranteed.

In addition, glass products with complex shapes sometimes have unexpected refraction effects on lighting. If this is reflected in the work, you can get fantastic photos.

Tip 2 of glass bottle photography: simply make shooting tools

1. Because glass bottles are transparent or translucent, with smooth surface and easy reflection, indirect illumination is generally used instead of direct illumination when light is used. You can shine light on some bright reflective surfaces, and then the reflective surfaces reflect on the object. You can also put the glass bottle in front of a flat background, with light shining on the background, and use the reflected light from a soft background as the only light source to illuminate the glass bottle. In this light condition, the glass does not reflect light. The black outline and transparent texture of the glass bottle can be displayed.

2. You can choose a bright or dark background at will, such as using smooth and dull black paper or cardboard as a dark background. Or use white or light matte paper as a bright background.

3, when shooting, don't let the camera's shadow reflected on the glass bottle. You can use a 50 cm square piece of black paper with a hole in the middle. Put it in front of the camera and you can eliminate the shadow.
