Why is the white background when taking pictures of clothes? It's normal after taking pictures of clothes, and the background is gray. Or is it just gray?

one by one

Why it is gray: Because there is light in inverse square law, for example, the light received at 1M is one quarter, and the light received at 2m is one sixteenth. Such a big gap will inevitably lead to normal clothes and gray background. If the background is white, the clothes will be overexposed.

How to solve it: let clothes receive the same amount of light as the background, in principle.

& lt 1 & gt; Add background light

& lt2> Or take clothes as the background.

Then, briefly talk about camera settings:

Generally speaking, taking pictures indoors.

1, aperture priority mode

2. About ISO400

3. The aperture can be selected between 4 and 8.

4. Please shoot with a tripod. Without a tripod, please hold the camera with a stool or something and try not to hold it.

5. Matrix photometry

Summary:

What you need (if it's hung):

A, two soft boxes, one for main light and one for auxiliary light to show clothes (auxiliary light can also be supplemented by reflector)

B, a background light source for illuminating the background.

As above, I hope it can help.
