In product photography, different lamp positions play a decisive role in the picture quality, texture and effect of the product. Familiarity with the role of various lamp positions on the picture effect and the scope of application are crucial for product photography.

 

Shunguang

Shunguang refers to a kind of light that directly illuminates the product from the light. This kind of light is not easy to produce shadows, and the stereoscopic effect is poor. It is not suitable for expressing the multi-faceted nature of the product. It is more suitable for shooting the material and shape of real reflective products.

Positive side light

Generally speaking, it is light that is 45 degrees on the positive side of the product. It is easy to shadow the product. It can also control the amount of shadow by moving the lamp position to the front or side. It is a common way of lighting, but it is not easy to make mistakes. Often used in product photography.

 

Side light

Sidelight refers to the light that is emitted from the side of the product. The contrast is large, the shadow is heavy, and it is easy to express the three-dimensional feeling and texture. However, it is necessary to supplement the light by means of a reflector or a fill light to make the side light performance more perfect.

 

Side backlight

Side backlighting is one of the most classic lighting methods in product photography. It usually refers to the light that is irradiated from the side of the product at a later position. It can make the product have a clear outline and moderate shadows, which can easily highlight the high-light performance of the product. It also balances the three-dimensionality and product details. Usually used as the main source.

 

Backlighting

Backlighting refers to the light that is emitted from the back of the product. This position will darken the front of the product. With the auxiliary light source or fill light, it can have a good effect in shooting glass materials.

 

Top light

The top light is the light that is emitted from the top of the product, and will produce a shadow directly under the product. The higher the position of the light from the product, the greater the shadow. The mastery of this feature allows you to take good pictures of the product. This type of lighting is often used in shooting.

 

Foot light

The foot light is generally the light that is radiated from the bottom of the product. It is usually applied when shooting some transparent objects. Generally, it is only used as an auxiliary light source. The foot light is added under the product to make a more transparent picture. .
