How can we get good light when taking pictures of small items?

In fact, although the shooting methods of each product are different, the basic elements of shooting are actually the same, that is, to control the distortion and depth of field. If there is a studio, the effect may be better, but without a studio, it will not be affected. You can use natural light instead. Although the effect will be worse, it is also a way to make up.
When taking pictures with natural light, it is best to choose mornings and evenings when the light is not too hard (not necessarily). Choose a clean place indoors with a simple background, such as a floor or a window sill, but be sure to have enough light. Subsequent shooting methods are the same as studio shooting. Pay attention to controlling distortion and depth of field, and you can also take good product pictures.
1. Pay attention to control distortion
Due to the distortion of the edge of the lens, the product image is prone to distortion, that is, the product is deformed and does not look good. The way to make up for it is to stay away from the subject (following the principle of near and far from perspective), and shoot the product at the telephoto end (the most serious distortion is at the wide-angle end). If you need to shoot a front view of the product, shoot the product exactly horizontally, because tilting can also produce very noticeable distortion.
2, pay attention to control the depth of field
The depth of field of the DSLR 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 products, otherwise the first half of the product is real and the second half is virtual, it will be ugly. We usually need to increase the depth of field, and the method is very simple, just reduce the aperture, and the aperture can be reduced to F8 to obtain a large depth of field.
3, the LED photo box can solve all these problem that you may occur during the product shooting or taking video, first of all, the lights can be adjustable to your ideal surroundings, second, the background can be changes to whatever you want. last but not least, the photo box is light-weight, easy to carry, and fast set up(only 3 seconds) .
