Shoot with natural light
Indirect light shooting: shooting on the balcony and other places.
Suggestion: Using the reflector, you can change the direction of light passing through the balcony and get soft and natural photos. (The shooting time is between noon and 2 pm on 12)
Direct light shooting: outdoor shooting on sunny days
Suggestion: Set corrugated paper and reflector. Corrugated paper softens light and reflector increases brightness. Photography course (same as above)
Two: Taobao photography on the use of photographic lights
I won't introduce the lamps one by one. In short, I recommend instantaneous lighting, and ordinary lamps with a basic capacity of 400w/s can be used.
Next, let's introduce light.
Parallel light: light from the front with the subject as the center. Objective: To show the details of the goods.
Side light: light that shines 90 degrees on the surface of an object. Objective: To create a strong shadow and emphasize the outline of the subject.
Diffuse light: light emitted from a 45-degree angle being photographed. Objective: To emphasize the concave-convex level. Brighter than the shadow formed by side light.
Backlight: light incident from behind the object being photographed. Usage: It is suitable for photographing goods in transparent and translucent containers, and can also be used for photographing glasses.
Retroreflective light: light incident from the back of an object at an angle of 120 degrees to 150 degrees. Highlight the shadow and three-dimensional sense, highlight the sense of weight. Can be used to hold glasses.
A lighting method recommended to Taobao clothing sellers;
Reference: When the lighting on one side is high, it may be blocked by low lighting, so if the setting is low or difficult, it can be set diagonally, and it is more suitable to use lighting and light in the opposite direction.
Three: Taobao photography on the essentials of lighting
First, the shooting essentials of jewelry
Generally speaking, the volume of jewelry is not large, but when shooting, it must be large enough, at least to achieve the size that can clearly express the texture.
Use a large area of soft light, such as a light source with a soft shadow mask, to produce bright reflection.
If necessary, you can make a big reflection and a small reflection to increase the crystal clear effect.
Dandruff, fingerprints, etc. , will reduce the quality of the subject and photographic works, must be removed.
2. Taobao photography talks about drinks. Shooting essentials
When the mixture of glycerol and water is sprayed outside the container, it will appear in the form of water droplets, which can show a cool feeling.
Using edible pigments or watercolors to adjust water can replace drinks or wine and produce colorful effects.
Ice cubes and tea bags must wait until the moment before the official exposure, and then put them into the drink. If left too long, the ice cubes will dissolve without water chestnut, and the color of tea in the cup will be scary.
The bubbles are the most when the soda is just poured out, and will gradually decrease after a few minutes. You can test it several times, observe the number and position of bubbles, and then expose it at the most appropriate time.
If it is inconvenient to use real ice, you can also use fake ice instead.
3. Taobao photography talks about the essentials of leather shooting
Leather grain, luster and softness are the three major elements of leather.
The focus is clear, and the texture and semi-reflective texture on the leather surface can be displayed.
Adopt large area soft light source. It has a leather luster.
Soft leather products should not be put too flat, which can better show the softness.
4. The essentials of clothing shooting
Cloth is an absorber, and the hard light in the side direction can better express the texture of cloth.
The thickness of fabric folds will make people feel the softness and hardness of the fabric.
Clothes are relatively large subjects. In addition to the appearance of wrinkles, it is also necessary to systematically express "this is a dress", and never let people feel that it is "a mass of cloth".
If clothes are expressed by wearing things, of course, we will focus on clothes and find out the lighting mode and shooting angle that can best express the style and texture of clothes. Three: Photographic light Photographic light mainly includes brightness, color and contrast.
Brightness: Simply put, if the brightness of the light is higher than the minimum level required for shooting, you can take a good photo, because generally you tend to use a small aperture, so be sure to ensure enough light.
Color: Three standard light color temperatures, 5500k is called daylight color temperature. (more suitable for auction)
Contrast: high contrast light source is also called hard light, and the shadow with clear edges is called hard shadow. Low contrast light source is also called soft light, and shadows without clear boundaries are soft light shadows. (Sunlight is scattered by clouds)
First, the characteristics of light
Understanding the characteristics of light is the basis of learning to master photography light. The characteristics of light can be analyzed from four aspects: brightness, color temperature, direction and light quality.
(1) brightness
The brightness of light directly affects the exposure of negative film. Choosing the right aperture and shutter is the basic requirement of photography. This is the rational use of exposure combination.
In fact, the correct exposure also has its tolerance; Slides have the smallest tolerance and the most stringent exposure requirements, followed by color negative, and black and white negatives have the largest tolerance.
In addition to the film width, the focus and creativity of the performance will also affect the exposure control. The same picture, different exposures will not only show different emphasis, but also change the effect of the atmosphere.
(2) Color temperature
The color of light is also called color temperature, which is expressed by absolute temperature (degree K). The retention of color temperature is to determine the color temperature K of colored light according to the color emitted by black iron after heating in the laboratory. For example, it is about 3200 degrees K, which is very close to the light emitted by tungsten lamp, so the colored light lamp is set to 3200 degrees K; At 5600 degrees K, it is closest to the midday sun. When the temperature rises again, it gradually turns blue and purple.
One shot is based on 5600 noon sunlight, with low orange-yellow color temperature and high blue-purple color temperature.
B. The color temperature of sunlight will change with time, season, climate and burial location.
Different lamps in studio C have different color temperatures and different color rendering effects.
The collocation of D filter can change the color temperature, which is also one of the ways to create a special climate.
The color temperature of sunlight at sunrise and sunset
Time color temperature k
At sunrise 1900-2000 degrees k.
20 minutes after sunrise and sunset, 2200 degrees
30 minutes after sunrise and sunset, 2400
40 minutes after sunrise and sunset, 3200
Sunrise and sunset 1 hour 3800 degrees k
2 hours after sunrise and sunset, 4800
The average sunshine at noon is 5400 degrees K.
Sooner or later, 6000 degrees k is in the shadow
The average skylight on cloudy days is 6500-7000 degrees K.
In addition: blue sky (direct white light from the sky) 1 1000 degrees k.
Electronic flash 5500-6000 degrees k
Sunlight 5000-5500 degrees k
Overflow lamp 3200 degrees or 3400 degrees k
Household light bulb 2800
Candlelight 1900k degrees
We usually say that the equilibrium color temperature of solar film is 5600 degrees K, and that of optical film is 3200 degrees K.
