Ask for advice on still life photography

Equipment and appliances: camera, a flash with a soft box or honeycomb board, a reflector and a dark gray background cloth.

Shooting purpose: Shooting still life usually highlights the main body by means of large aperture, long focal length and close-up shooting, but it is forbidden to make the object out of focus too much because of too small depth of field. But the wedding invitations of this film are basically flat, so even if the aperture is bigger, the depth of field will be on its plane. The flowers behind can be seen slightly in the suburbs, creating a sense of perspective.

Light distribution: put a flashlight on the right as the main light (side light), put a reflector on the left or use another flashlight (low light) as the auxiliary light (side light or side light). Not to mention the role of the main light, the supplementary light is to avoid the underexposure of the dark details on the other side. Of course, if there is a white wall on the left, it will also have the effect of a reflector.
