However, if there is really no condition to build a studio, you can also use natural light to shoot, but this can only be done during the day. It is not recommended to shoot the product in ordinary lighting environment, so it is difficult to shoot the effect.
So, if you really want to shoot a good product, you'd better build a small studio at home and invest two or three thousand yuan.
preparation of equipment
in order to make a good product drawing, the choice of equipment is also particular. Don't consider a camera such as a card machine when you visit here, and don't consider too few lenses for micro-single. Single battery can be considered, but in line with the principle of careful calculation, its price is still on the high side. The best choice is an entry-level SLR. The standard kit usually costs more than 3, yuan, and you can spare some money to buy another macro lens.
why buy a macro lens?
Many times, we need to take close-up pictures of products. The closest focusing distance of standard zoom lens is too far, so it is difficult to take such close-up pictures, which requires the use of macro lens.
Macro lenses are not expensive either, and there are many choices within 3, yuan. Because it is a product, try to choose a macro lens with a smaller focal length, such as Sony's DT 3mm F2.8 Macro SAM macro head.
how to make a good product drawing?
With the studio and equipment, it's time to show our photography skills. However, the products sold in Taobao shop are various, and the shooting method of each product is different. How can we shoot all kinds of products well?
actually, although the shooting method of each product is different, the basic elements of shooting are actually the same, that is, controlling distortion and depth of field. On the premise of having a studio, lighting is not a problem. What we need to pay attention to is distortion and depth of field.
Pay attention to distortion control
Due to the distortion of the lens edge, it is easy to have distortion when taking a product picture, that is, the product is deformed and looks ugly. The way to make up for it is to stay away from the subject (follow the principle of perspective) and shoot the product with the telephoto end (the most distorted place is the wide-angle end). If you need to shoot the front view of the product, shoot the product completely horizontally, because tilting will also produce very obvious distortion.
Pay attention to controlling the depth of field
The depth of field of SLR is very small, which can create a very beautiful blurred background, but we need to pay attention to controlling the depth of field when shooting the product, otherwise the front half of the product is real and the back half is virtual, which will be ugly. We usually need to increase the depth of field, and the method is very simple. We can get a great depth of field by reducing the aperture to F8.
with soft lighting, controlling distortion and depth of field, it is very simple to shoot beautiful product drawings.
how can I take a good product drawing without a studio?
As mentioned earlier, if there is no studio, natural light can be used instead. Although the effect will be worse, it is also a remedy.
Good product drawings can also be taken with sufficient natural light and simple and clean environment
When taking pictures with natural light, it is best to choose the morning and evening when the light is not too hard (not necessarily). Choose a clean place indoors with a simple background, such as the floor or window sill, but make sure there is enough light. The subsequent shooting method is the same as the shed shooting. Pay attention to controlling the distortion and depth of field, and you can also shoot a good product drawing.
just learn PS from graphics processing software, which is simple and easy to use. There are many tutorials on the Internet. If you really can't learn them, you can hand them in to others on Taobao until you are satisfied.
It's not difficult to take a good product drawing, as long as you have good lighting and scenery, and pay attention to controlling distortion and depth of field. It is suggested that qualified friends build their own studios, so that they can have good lighting and scenery, and shoot products with half the effort. The use of natural light is actually used only when it is necessary, such as things that are too big to shoot in the shed. Mastering the above methods, we can all take good product drawings by ourselves.
I hope it helps you!
