2. How to use an iPhone to get the perfect product picture?
Guarantee good light
Light is the soul of shooting. Make sure you have plenty of light, but don't overexpose. Low light photos will be too dark, but excessive light will make the photos look dazzling.
Under normal circumstances, using natural light to shoot product pictures is the closest to the real object. Try to shoot products on sunny days whenever possible. Please pay attention to avoid too strong direct sunlight, especially white, or it will easily cause overexposure.
Highlight the main body
To achieve the highlight of the main body, two points need to be done:
The first is to ensure that the shooting background is clean. Many people may think that a clean background is a solid color background, but it's not. Clean means that there is not too much clutter, so that the product itself can be highlighted.
The second is to properly blur the background. It should be noted that the mobile phone is autofocus, and the distance will affect the focus, so it is not good to take photos too far or too close. You need to manually adjust this distance until the subject can be clearly displayed on the mobile phone screen, and then press the camera button. At this time, the lens is focused on the subject and the background is blurred.
Besides, Booltool’s Background Blur function can efficiently help you highlight the main body.
Choose a shooting angle
According to the characteristics of the product, choose appropriate shooting angle. It is recommended that each product has multi-angle shooting, so that buyers can more fully understand the appearance of the product, and the click conversion rate will be improved.
If you don't know how to compose and use the golden ratio, please use an overhead shot first, and put the main body in the middle of the overhead shot when trying to shoot a product picture at the beginning, which can highlight the products you want to display, and can effectively avoid distracting attention. Of course, other compositions also need to be tried step by step.
Focus segment selection
The more commonly used focal lengths are 1x, 2x, or even 5x or ultra-wide-angle lenses. The ultra-wide-angle lens will produce perspective distortion to some extent, so it is not commonly used.
Tone Selection
Dark tone
Light is a key component to reflect the texture of the product when shooting the product with dark tone. In the early shooting, pull down the small sun icon on the phone screen to enhance the texture. Please use wood, black tile and other light color materials as the background.
Bright tone
Due to the bright background, automatic exposure will make the image look gray, so you need to manually increase the exposure before shooting. Please use silk, marble, wood grain and other light color materials as the background.
Proper post-production
Post-production can make up for the small flaws in the shooting, and make the photo closer to the real object and more attractive. But there are also two misunderstandings that need to be avoided.
One is that it is too difficult to fix pictures, so you never do that. In fact, the current photo editing software is actually very mature. You can try to use Booltool’s Photo Filters and Effects function to adjust the picture professionally.
