What's the shady?

Short for black curtain, when the light is insufficient, the curtain appears black. Usually refers to a piece of cloth in photographic equipment with a pure black background. The black curtain is used as the shooting background, which is the characteristic of black, and the background of the product pictures taken on the black background is also black.

When shooting product advertising pictures on a black background, the shooting effect is different from that of pictures taken on a black background, and the pictures look transparent and shiny. On the black background, the outline of the object is clear, highlighting the role of the subject. When using black shooting props, there is no obvious reflection effect. Under the lighting effect, the object will not reflect the light of the light, and will not cause or reduce the reflection and influence on the light of the photographed product.

When using black background to shoot advertising pictures of products, the requirements for photographers are also very high, because the requirements for light control are also very high when shooting advertising pictures on black background.
